Re: Imperial College Medicine Applicants 2012I can't... my GP clinic have a person who deals with forms that need filling in. They do not allow you to take forms for your GP to fill during a regular appointment. During my work experience there I saw this in action - a person asked the GP to fill a short form and he said, no you have to give it to the receptionist.(Original post by italienmoose)
Couldn't you just book an appointment? I got mine back in about 2 minutes :-P -

Re: Imperial College Medicine Applicants 2012Hello!
I'm a hopeful applicant and I just wanted to ask has anybody been able to get in with maths only to AS level. I'm sort of deciding what to drop and I know that Imperial is really heavy on the sciences.
Much appreciated!

Re: Imperial College Medicine Applicants 2012I know people here without maths A level at all. Granted they might have physics instead.(Original post by Hootie*)

Re: Imperial College Medicine Applicants 2012you don't actually need maths a-level at all! but an AS in maths will do fine... I'd recommend getting at least a B in it though, since imperial's standard offer for 3 A2s and an AS is AAAb (the lower case b refers to an AS level)(Original post by Hootie*)

Imperial's subject choices policy is confusing I'm not gonna lie haha, but here is a copy-and-paste from their website:
"The minimum entry requirements for this course are three A-levels, including Chemistry and/or Biology and one science or mathematics subject, and one additional subject at AS-level. If either Chemistry or Biology is offered alone at A-level, then the other is required at AS-level with at least a grade B."
essentially if you are NOT taking BOTH bio and chem to A2 then you need to take at least one, and the other must be to AS at least. and it needs to then be accompanied by either maths or physics to A2.
If you ARE taking bio and chem BOTH to A2 then you pretty much have free reign over your 3rd and 4th subject
Hope I helped, however if you're confused (i wouldnt blame you to be honest) i'd drop an email to imperial's medicine admissions department and give them all the details of your situation. and they should then say categorically whether or not you would be alright with dropping maths for A2

Yeah, I was left at a bit of a loss by their entry requirements. I'll be dropping them an email after easter just to assure me, though.
Also, Congratulations on your firm offer!! (Lucky!
