I was looking at the above website, and I came across some surprising stats. Imperial college gives offers to 30% of mechanical engineering applicants? I thought it would be MUCH lower than that.. And Manchester gives offers to 79% of mechanical engineering applicants?? These can't be real stats can they.. I thought you compete against like 10 other people for each place at Russel group unis..

They give out far more offers than spaces. Some will decline, some will put is insurance and not go, some will not get the grades, some will withdraw/never make it to the first day of term, etc.
A course with 100 spaces and 1,000 applicants (i.e. 10 applicants per space) will probably give out around 200-300 offers

I have just been looking at these for Chemistry. I find it strange how they seem to think that Imperial College London has an acceptance rate of 68% whereas Queen Mary's has one of 50%, despite the prestige of Imperial. They're probably wrong.

That doesn't follow at all. What you do not know is the quality of applicants relative to the admission requirements. If you take a university course that is regularly in clearing, it is still unlikely to have a 100% offer rate. The difference is people whom the university doesn't think are up to the course, even though there are plenty of spaces.
