No interview discussion please with "what did they ask you?". It's not really fair on others, you'll be fine for JMC, just revise your maths course, a bit of C4, C3, get your lateral thinking brain and common sense with you too. Revise your PS hard and be ready to explain anything in your PS they might pick up on. Talk about yourself and what you've done and you will be fine. Don't fear the maths questions, they're designed in a way that you aren't supposed to know the answer to them. Just attempt them all and the interviewer (who is there to help you) will try and aid your thought process.
Good luck. :smile:

2nd November, expect your offer this Wednesday coming up (i.e. 5 days).

Edit: I know people with 2nd October interviews who have got their offer today. Expect one either today or tomorrow :smile:

After the track update for the Imperial offer, did Imperial college directly send you an email also on the offer?

I think the guy who did my interview was David Hume or something like that, he fits your description, pretty nie guy though.

Yeah, it sucks. I only missed my offer by about 5 points. I'm reapplying to IC and UCL (the only two unis I was really set on going to). I'm also applying to Wawrick, Kings (Chemistry w. Biomedicine), and Queen Mary.

Out of interest, did you get around to reading any of the books I reccomended? Or did you watch the MiT lectures?

Cool, thanks, I'll try to find him later.

5 points?!?! That is really really ***********. Cool, have you sent it off yet?

Yeah I did, the books were ridiculously helpful when writing my PS and in all of my interviews! I watched the lectures up to the lecture where they got the Schroedinger equation, then skipped to a few lectures on thermodynamics, they were also very very helpful and gave me a better understanding of the topics! Once again, THANKS!

My application was processed on the 20th October, and I still haven't heard anything about an interview, for Chemistry btw, D: I'm worried now! Hopefully I shall hear soon, and I am currently going on the basis that no news is good news! :biggrin:

It's been mentioned before that you shouldn't ask others to disclose their interview questions. It gives you an unfair advantage and defeats the purpose of an interview.

Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction. Got my results slip and about 40 minutes of very fluent swearing followed :mad:

The books are a blast to read. I just got out a copy of Atkins Physical Chem about 6 weeks ago but I gotta say the lectures top it completely. The derivation she demonstrates is so simple and actually quite elegant, considering it gives you so much information when you solve it. :biggrin:

Yale do some good ones as well :colone:

Yeah, they really were enjoyable and interesting. Have fun reading that..isn't it like 1000 pages long? I guess I will end up buying it at some point, the fun awaits. Yeah, the lectures were brilliant, except her pronunciation of things like De Broglie and Schroedinger.

I will have to look up the Yale lectures tomorrow, which do you recommend, please?

Yeah, the books pretty dense, but really interesting tbh; and yeah its pretty long - theres a lot of stuff I dont understand.

Yep, the accent is pretty cringey (this coming from a fellow american too... :cool:
