Chemical Engineering Applicants - 2017 Entry

People are on the course with much less than ABB I imagine!!!!!

Nope.

None have less than 144 points - equivalent to AAA (although that doesn't factor in EPQs, 4th A-levels, etc...)

Some of my mates got much less than AAA and are on the course.

But they completed a foundation year, that's what I meant.

Can any current chemical engineering students (preferably UCL) tell me how much further maths is in the first year? Things like complex numbers,matrices and further calculus? And wether I should look into it all before the start of the course as I didn't do further maths.

I am a third year Imperial ChemEng. Feel free to ask anything

Do you know what the typical entry requirements are for Imperial? From when you applied or is the high grades just for show?

Mine was A*A*AA. Some people even got A*A*A*A. However, I got A*AAA and got in. I was pretty lucky cause I know one girl who missed her offer by one A* as well last year but didn't get it

Thanks for the answer. Does it matter if you don't have further maths?

Complex numbers? This is the real world pal

Odd as it may sound you still use complex numbers in engineering mate

Wow!

some people don't have further maths and still get in so it's not a necessity but it will be very useful to do it if you could

Could you give like a rough background of ethnicities in your year. I can't find it on the website. Thanks for the info btw, really want to go imperial.

This is a very rough approximation from my memory. Holiday was so long I just couldn't rememeber. 50% international (asian, black etc) 30% EU 20% home. this is a very rough approximation so don't trust me on it. Good luck on your application to Imperial though!
