Imperial College Applicants 2015

Congrats, what do you think my odds are for mech engineering? Check the previous page where I posted

Will having really good UMS scores in any of the subjects help me in the application, more than the actual grade? I'm really really happy with one of my subjects and I'm wondering whether only the actual grade matters or the points as well.

Well if you put down any UMS you should really put them down for all of your modules, so if all of your UMS are quite good it's normally a good idea. But if you have for one subject like 90+ avg ums percent and then the rest scrape 80 ums and you have an A* predicted for that it can be seen in a negative manner. Unfortunately showing only the good ums flags up to most tutors that there may be an issue

Luckily my UMS are good all-round so is there an option in UCAS to put them down so that unis can consider them?

Feel free to ask any questions you like. I am starting Imperial this October, studying Chemical Engineering.

Hey, congrats I hope to be in your position this time near year. I am a fellow chem eng applicant. Do you mind me asking what your grades were and what your offer was and how your interview was? What you think imperial view most importantly?

I got A*A*A*A*A* (chem, bio, phy, math & further math). My offer was A*A*A*AA (A* should be from chem, math & further math). Last year the Imperial Chem Eng offers were quite ridiculous. Some even got A*A*A*A* offers . The lowest offer I saw was A*A*A.

My interview went really smooth. I was in Argentina during that time, so they called me over the phone. To prepare for the Imperial interview:
1) Go through the ChemEng course content on the Imperial website
2) Go through ChemEng books, journals and be aware of the latest developments in ChemEng researches
3) Go through your personal statement as they will definitely ask questions directly about what you have written on your PS.

I think for Imperial, predicted grades matters a lot. If you have high predicted grades, then your only obstacle will be the interview. If you are predicted lower grades, make sure your personal statement is well-written.

Hi I am considering doing biochemistry with management at Imperial 4 year course.
GCSE's: 7A*, 5A's and B
AS's: Maths (A), Biology (A), Chemistry (A), Economics (A)
Predictions: Maths (A*) Biology (A*) Chemistry (A)

Do I have a chance of getting a place or at least an interview?

I want to apply for Chemistry at Imperial but I have a C in English language does any one know if there is any chance I will get in? (I am aware of the B rule)

No, Imperial have interviews from October to early next year and different people receive offers at different times. Some people got their offers in mid November -- I got mine in late Nov -- and some not until the following year.
