What are my chances of getting in?

Seeing as you've achieved a top grade in English, and done well in three other traditional A levels, they'd be mad not to.

thanks

My friend had the same predicted grades as you and really really amazing extra-curriculars to support an English application, but she still didn't get an offer.

You've certainly got a good chance, but there's no guarantee with courses as competitive as this. The application to offer ratio is insane. Are you applying to transfer? Because then you find out if you get in before you have to give up your place at Imperial surely? And that way you'd still have a place at university even if you didn't get in?! Good luck

I am currently a first year studying a science at Imperial College. Though I'm doing perfectly fine at the university, I realised I simply don't like science that much and would much rather be studying English - after all, it is frankly what I've always been good at.

Here's my 'credentials':

Co-editor of student newspaper (so my school thought I could write, haha)
10 A*s at GCSE
A* English A-level (very high A*, 100% in both courseworks in year 12/13)
A* Biology A-level
A Chemistry A-level
A Maths A-level

impressive credentials, but i wouldn't rely upon 100% in english(or eng lit?) to get into english, stop quantifying it you scientist :P! and tbh coursework marking is sort of subjective, one of my teachers gave me an A the other a C for the same piece
they mainly look for passion for texts and your desire to study it, as you said you havent read anything of late, where did your passion come from? if out of boredom of science/gender proportionality then forget it
if you can justify your desire then i don't see any reason why you can't apply for english

Nah, I've always loved analysing and exploring texts - my main focus in my own independent reading has been 20th century American novelists, but I doubt that's something that gets covered heavily in the first year. Of course I can apply haha - the point is can I get in!

ooops i did mean get in, sounds good, who are some of your favs? (i'm not questionning you, it's just out of interest)

well a lot, Steinbeck, Plath, Hemingway, Salinger, Vonnegut, and as my screename may suggest - Ayn Rand

yourself?

oh and I love a good bit of Tennessee Williams too

ooo yes steinbeck, salinger n williams
also fitzgerald, tolkien, lee

more random picks would be mary shelley n phillip pullman im sure i love more but cannot think

damn i kinda wish i applied for eng lit or have it combined but didnt have the confidence,
sometimes i felt the deep analysis stole the magic of the writing, any mystery in the text and deriving things the author probably never intended got annoying, but sometimes its enjoyable
so what do you wanna do in the future?x

I would sort of agree - heavy criticism can twist a novel beyond its intended meaning, but at the same time I find that when properly exploring a text there really are a gold mine of references and subtexts that are hard to see at first.

The amount you read sounds like you should have applied for eng lit! What are you doing now?

And I am not sure what I want to do in the future - maybe journalism, or law?
