Yeah. Standards are rising and it really is tricky to get in to these universities. UCL only recently started doing interviews for chemical engineering and bumped up their offer range to a max of A*AA. Around the time I was applying was when Imperial decided to take me for a mug and give me an A*A*A offer. Ah well.
I study chemical engineering at UCL. Finished my 2nd year exam about a month ago. Little heads up: UCL have a new policy that require students to have a language at GCSE and if they don't, they'll take a course unit in a language during their degree or during the summer.

Ah damn it; the interview will kill me
A*A*A ha, that's ridiculous! That's currently the entry requirement at Imperial or A*AAA, I think.
Oh that sounds great. What's it like?
Ah that should be fine, I did 3 languages at GCSE :L Thanks though. Does it matter which or is any MFL okay? Beats me why they want a language when I'm applying for Chem Eng though o.O

The interview for Imperial was rather relaxing. Maybe because I got a good interviewer who asked me about batch reactors and kinetics. The interview for Surrey *wipes sweat from forehead* Now that was brutal, they pulled down my MEng application to a BEng offer
Chemical Engineering at UCL is decent. We have good lecturers, the students integrate with each other very well but I do feel we could do with better lab equipment since our stuff is like toys compared the big daddy institutes like Imperial.
As long as you have a MFL and it doesn't include Latin, Biblical Hebrew or Ancient Greek, you're good. It's just this new stupid policy UCL brought up to encourage students to take a language at GCSE. Not that taking a language at GCSE is bad.

It really does depend on the interviewer, doesn't it
And luck 
Oh dear
I thought Surrey was easier to get into!Haha, there's no comparison to somewhere like Imperial I'm sure!
I visited Imperial the other day and it looked amazing! But then again, everything looks amazing compared to what I'm used to.
I see, well that's reasonable, I suppose.
Thanks very much for your help (:

No worries. Good luck with the applications
