Imperial College Postgraduate Applicants 2013

Still waiting
However, got a mail asking me to let them know if I don't want to be considered for the Santander scholarships!

They have been sending those scholarship emails to everyone.

Waiting for the Mathematics Department here. I called them yesterday and they said that for PG admissions it takes a minimum of 8 weeks. It has been 7 weeks to the day here. So I'm expecting something (rejection) this coming week.

yup same with me. Do you know of anyone who has got rejected so far?

Haven't heard of rejections either (from the Business School). I expect most decisions to be conveyed between Feb 1 and 11 (for all completed applications received by Jan 14). This is what they have mentioned in their site.

7 weeks from the time your references have been processed or from the time you submit your app?

Why think of a rejection before it comes?
Any other offers / back-up?

What I gathered on the phone was that it was 8 week from the time you submit your application, becasue she asked me what my application date was.

Well a few offers but my best would be Manchester right now. Waiting on King's,.. What's your situation?

Haven't applied yet, will be applying in the next week. Panicking that I left it for too late, any advice.

Oh, I am close then! Applied on Nov 28.
Have already paid the deposit at Warwick (for F&E); Had an Offer from Cass too but chose Warwick over it. Not sure if I should prefer Imperial over Warwick.
Any comparison / views appreciated.

I'd say take my advice very lightly.

I'd pick Imperial over Warwick within in a blink of an eye, mainly becasue Imperial is way up there in terms of liking by employers (my main (only) basis of selection).

Warwick over Cass is totally understandable. I hope that Warwick deposit is refundable?

BTW, have you ever heard of someone from a Business background getting into a Maths course?

Thanks. I heard Warwick (Finance related) programs are also strong in placements. Maybe Imperial also has the London edge. The deposit (1k) is not refundable, but then I had no choice. I wanted a back-up. I didn't foresee that Warwick would make an offer within 10 days!
On your query, frankly haven't heard people with Business Study background moving to Pure Math program, though have come across some moving to highly quantitative applied programs. Good Luck.

The only thing i know is the size of the previous class. It would be similar this year. Giving that the top business schools for the same program receive about 400-500 applications (370 i think for Cambridge about 480 for LSE) i speculate tha the same number of applicants has the imperial. BUT if the students last year were 169 the offers are most of the times 15-20% more. Do about 215 students i think. I suppose that the ratio of applicants and offers is about 1:2,5
But this is only a speculation

i really hope so, mainly because imperial is my first choice...
do you know about the interview? is it possible to ask your friend about the questions?

Hey guys,

I've also applied to MSc Finance. Application sent on the 23rd of November and no answer yet. Have they already registered your references? They approved my references on the 7th of December and after that haven't approved any of my other items. Is this the same for you?
