Imperial College Applicants 2015

Hi guys, I got into the JMC course with A*A*A*A (Maths, further maths, physics, chemistry) and 3 in Step III. Looking forward to meeting you guys soon. (Also have A* in an unrelated A level and B in EPQ and general studies AS, but I don't think they care about that).

Can someone tell me the differences between the JMC and computing course please, I'm seriously contemplating doing just straight computing.

Hi I've just got my AS results and hoping to study chemical engineering. Is it really worth applying to IMPERIALS?
Grades: 10 A* s and 3 As for GCSE
AS:
Maths:
A with 272/300UMS

Further math:
A with 252/300 UMS

physics:
A with 260/300 UMS

Economics
A with176/200 UMS

Chemistry:
B with 239/400 UMS

They are not really going to care too much about gcses. But that B in chemistry might be a problem seeing as chemical eng is extremely competitive.

Oh right, yeah i definitely didn't expect it. Do you think i would even get an interview because I can still get an A* at A2?

Anyon can technically get an A* at A2 tbh. Applying for Chemical Engineering with a B is very risky. Tbh you will have a very good chance of getting in for Engineering other then chemical since rest are A's and great GCSE's!
Also mention you were 1 mark off an A in your reference(ask your teachers to).

I got an offer for Imperial ChemEng (didn't make it but...) so I could give you some advice
Unless you haven't done so already, I would definitely go for a remark in chemistry as you were literally 1 UMS off the A. Bear in mind Imperial's offers almost always require an A* in Chemistry, so unless you have an A at AS it is unlikely you will be predicted an A*. Always go for the course you like, but if you are torn between, say, Chemical and Aeronautical engineering, it is more likely you will receive an offer for Aeronautical.

Literally can't wait for Maths at Imperial College!!! I have been (rather keenly) working on some undergrad books in preparation SO excited

I thought you were going to LSE?

Hey everyone
I also want to apply to Imperial for electrical and electronic engineering.
AS results:
Edexcel Maths : 296/300 UMS
Edexcel Further maths : 92/100 UMS (just fp1 for AS, but got 93/100 UMS from C3)
OCR Physics: 258/300 UMS
Edexcel Economics: 159/200 UMS
AQA Business studies: 170/200 UMS
Also, gold, best in year and best in school certificates from uk senior maths challenge.
So, what would you suggest?Do i have a chance to get offer from Imperial or is it worth applying? Thanks

Definitely go for it

Definitely go for it

I got one more question if you don't mind. I decided to drop Business studies in A2 as it is among "not preferred" subjects for leading universities. I am now wondering whether i should drop Economics or not(i was 1 mark off an A in AS).
Do you think i would be in a disadvantage in competition among Imperial applicants without the fourth subject and is it a significant difference? What would you suggest me to do?
Thanks, your help is much appreciated!

Don't worry about it. I got an offer for Aeronautical, which is much more competitive than EE. I didn't have any extraordinary grades, AAAB. Just make sure you do well on the test at interview.
