Re: Imperial College Medicine Applicants 2012I took Chemistry Biology Maths RE and psychology, but the problem is that I got a C in maths due to 1 module so id only expect to be predicted a B. In Chemistry Biology and RE I might be predicted A*AA and I will drop Psychology. I will continue with maths because I am not ready to give up on it. But I would basically be predicted A*AAB/A*AAC and when they see that the B/C is in Maths they might not like it.(Original post by oHellno)
People always say it's slightly risky to apply to Imperial with a humanities/arts subject but I've actually heard of quite a few people getting in with more than one arts, so I'd like to think it's not true lol.

Re: Imperial College Medicine Applicants 2012Does anyone know if Imperial appreciates A level A*s already achieved? Many unis don't care about A*s but since Imperial does require A* in offers for other subjects, i was wondering if they would appreciate a medicine applicant to have A*s too...also is it fairly hard to meet their BMAT cut off?

Re: Imperial College Medicine Applicants 2012Nope, not that I am aware of, but it is very likely that you will need to have all science and maths subjects to A-level,(bio, chem, maths and physics). Though as you mentioned, BMAT has been always important for selection.(Original post by nikhil.shah)

Re: Imperial College Medicine Applicants 2012Speaking as a third year that did Biology, Chemistry, French & Psychology I can assure you that you're not wrong!(Original post by nikhil.shah)
That's what I thought... Imperial don't mind if you're not doing 3 sciences and maths
There's some great advice to be found on this forum, but be wary of people that chat crap (there are many!).Last edited by Blatant Troll; 02-09-2011 at 13:46. -

Re: Imperial College Medicine Applicants 2012good luck with the application guys
bmat is definatly the most challenging part of the application. Once you get an interview it isnt bad at all (in fact the interviewers are very nice).
About gcses and ASs - my friend did get above the cut off for bmat but had very low ASs - so i guess they do look at other parts of the application as he got rejected without interview.
if anyone needs help lemme know by PM or here. i will post the interview questions i got from 2011 entry on the thread later on (assuming its ok to do so). -
