cheers

I would probably choose Imperial. Is INSA an Ecole with Classe Prépa Intégré?

Something of the sort. It's a 5-year, "post-bac" program. I don't know if they prepare one at all for the other "concours" or if they have their own program, which would be reasonable.

Any chance i can accept then when see how my UCAS pans out and pull out? or do they take any extra legal action there ppl know of?

I only know, that it is a bit complicated, but why you just don't ask them by yourself?

Five year programs are generally not considered as an alternative way to get into another Ecole. Of course you can allways try to get somewhere e.g. "sur dossier", but I wouldn't count on that.

You can accept, as long as you don't have to pay. It might be difficult to get your money back.

Having said that, though INSA is generally well-regarded, Imperial is clearly in a different league.
