    I got a Conditional offer for Computing A*AAAaa :eek:
    I got A* maths, A FM, A phys offer for Computing. There would be nothing special about it if not the fact that they also want me to get grade 1 in STEP I :eek:
    I have indeed mention planning on doing step in my PS and ucas but never even considered possibility that Imperial can include it in their offer (it was mentioned for cambridge...). I think this offer is quite high, since I've seen maths applicants getting offers without step (not even mentioning Comp&Maths). Ohh well, at least I have an offer.

    It's actually greater than 50%. They usually reject a great proportion of applicants at pre-interview stage but then they give offers to something like 70-80% of people that they interview.

    I saw there are quite a few people have got their maths G100 offers already, does anyone know when most of maths G100 offers normally come through? Should I expect the next batch of maths offers before Christmas?

    These computing offers are absurd. I think they make the offer exactly equal to your predicted grades, have any of your offers been above your predictions?

    my teacher told me not to write down that i was doing step on my ps because she said, i would definitely be asked for it in my offer.

    Ah ok, thanks. I will have to pop in next time I go to that part of London, which hopefully will be soon :P

    Durham [waits for the onslaught of negs]...if they give me an offer. But I would still be really really happy to go to Impy, its one of the best unis in the world and really nice etc.
    Mehh durham. Fair play to you though, its still awesome, hope you get a decent offer !

    Phftttt you can still get into Oxford Don't give up but if you don't mind me asking, didn't you interview go well?
    It was a fiasco. Other candidates came out of their interviews telling us what they were asked on and I could do those questions. Thanks anyway
