Re: Imperial College IB offers 2011Yeah i have the exact same offer but 5 in SL English for EEE. Probably the hardest thing is to get a 7 in HL math. I have no idea how to do that.(Original post by marcordenis)
Mechanical Engineering
40 points total
7 in Maths HL
6 in Physics HL
6 in Chemistry SL
6 in English A1 SL
hope I can make that, am predicted 6 in Maths and 38 in total, its gonna be tough

Re: Imperial College IB offers 2011
Computer Science
40 IB Points
7 in Maths HL
6 in Physics HL
5 in English A2 SL
I am also predicted 38-39 points with a 6 in Math HL. Basically if I can get the 7 in Math I am set, and that's a pretty big if.
The lowest offer I've seen is for one of my coursemates, for Chem Eng. It is exactly the same, but with 39 points instead of 40.Last edited by alexmsf; 04-04-2011 at 04:45. -
Re: Imperial College IB offers 2011Do you know what happens if we don't meet the offer, by 1-2 points? Do we get rejected, or is there still a chance that we might get in?(Original post by alexmsf)

Re: Imperial College IB offers 2011It depends. Since it is Imperial, I'd say you shoudn't hold your breath, as pretty much every course is VERY competitive.(Original post by dsds1000)

I don't want to be in that position, although I'd phone them if something like this happens. What I am more worried of is that I actually GET that 7 in Maths, and I lose the offer because of getting less than 40 points. Thankfully I love my insurance too, preventing me from stressing out excessively!
Basically, if you find yourself in that position, contact them, and you may get lucky! Just don't bet on it. -
Re: Imperial College IB offers 2011
Asking for a 7 in Maths HL when they ask for A* in A2 Mathematics is/feels just...wrong. I've had a go at both courses at different periods and while I didn't have much trouble with HL (then again, I switched to A-Levels when I reached Differentiation), I find it more challenging in that one has limited time for some arguably harder questions. I find that 6 in HL Maths would be more apt but then hey, that's just me.

Re: Imperial College IB offers 2011

6 maths HL
6 physics HL
6-7 chemistry HL
7 geography SL
5 english A1 SL
French A2 SL
And im guessing i will get about 2 bonus points.

Re: Imperial College IB offers 2011Ouch! And sorry to nitpick, but you mean MSci right? MSc is post-grad.(Original post by QG-DAWG)
Imperial physics MSc
Physics HL 7
Maths HL 7
English A1 SL 5

Thank God (or the Easter bunny) that I finished IB already last year :P

And I thought they were screwing me over when they gave me an offer of 40 with 666HL (maths, phys, + one other) when their website said 38 with 6 maths HL and physics HL. But compared to others I feel quite lucky now. Except bluesky42, who got a 39 666HL offer for physics. -
Re: Imperial College IB offers 2011same offer here...and thank God only Bio and Chem, cause i take HL Math, and the exams were awful so far...(Original post by mzmiraclez)
I have to get 38 points overall for medicine.
6 in Bio HL and 6 in Chem HL.

Re: Imperial College IB offers 20112nded about the HL maths. Can't believe medicine has lower entry requirements than a lot of other degrees, lucky you guys.(Original post by granata92)

Although that 6 in Maths is looking unlikely with my epic fail paper 1
So I'm thinking teary phone calls will be taking place on the 6th of July!

Re: Imperial College IB offers 2011Same. My paper 1 was horrible. Worst exam paper in my life. Paper 2 was much better though(Original post by bluesky42)

so hopefully, with a good paper 3 I can redeem myself and get a 6

Haha, do you think if we all missed our maths grades they'd let us in anyway, otherwise the university would be empty....(Original post by alexmsf)
So, apparently EVERYONE is stressing out about Maths grades. I sure am glad I am not the only one!
