"I am sorry that we were unable to offer you a place to study Medicine at Imperial College London. We were impressed by your performance at interview and our decision simply reflects the overwhelming competition for limited places.



I hope that you will be successful at one of your other choices however if you do not receive any offers elsewhere, you are welcome to contact us in August for consideration if we have any unfilled places."

Just wanted to know .. is this said to all rejected applicants?

I got that email too,
I hope it's the waiting list option, but I don't want to get my hopes up too high only having to be disappointed again.

Does anyone know if anyone's got in through the waiting list?

What were your AS grades and Predicted Grades?
Perhaps our interview performances were good but they were not sure we would get the grades?

Thanks mate Yeah, I might bombard you with a few PMs regarding gap year lol. And yes, applying tactically means a lot. My choices, apart from Imperial, were pretty much picked out of a hat Not very wise now that I think about it...


I had aaaac at AS level (C being in general studies, lol). Did half an AS in Physics and RS (though I'm sure these didn't count) and was predicted A*AAA/A*A*AA.
That said, my results for January (for chemistry and biology, anyway) were shameful.
Not to mention I totally flunked the ethical scenario at the interview.
All that said, I heard someone say they can see your January module results? :L idk how much truth lies in that...

You don't have any other offers, do you?

I was always under the impression that selection for interview means they're completely happy with your academics and they don't use them further in post interview decisions...?

However having said that, I am yet to find anywhere in the prospectus or on the website where it is stated explicitly that post-interview decisions are based solely on interview performance.

I think it's generally understood that the interview performance is probably the most significant factor, but whether its the ONLY factor? I don't know... So there could well be some truth in what you're saying...



Edit: and I highly doubt they have access to your January exam results... If they did that would give an advantage to the people interviewed before results day over the people interviewed after. and it doesnt sound like something that UCAS would allow.

Good point
I was on 2A's and 2B's in AS
And predicted 3A's .... although my latest january modular exams were abysmal ...

I think we may be right, because I was on 2As and 2Bs as well. (Although I did retakes in january and now I'm on 4As). Predicted - A*AAA

Hopefully we still have a shot in August although I won't be too optimistic...

congrats! you must be so happy! what time did you get the ucas track update?

You know, one of the best things of having an offer is that, now, we can give some advice to the Imperial/medicine hopefuls. I've spent the past two years PMing older students and asking for advice, and finally I can help out :L

If anybody wants some advice or wants to know my stats etc. message me (:
