Imperial College Global Summer School

An international student checking in :smile:

I was accepted to Imperial's Global Summer School, it seems promising but I couldn't find any reviews of it. Has anyone tried it? Please share your thoughts/experience or any info regarding the summer school.
I'm looking forward to hearing some replies!
thanks

My daughter did the Physical Science track last year. She loved it! They kept them busy with projects, lectures, workshops and trips and the counsellors were current IC students and gave lots of insights into being a student there. She also did some Coding there for the first time and is now looking to apply to do Comp Sci at Uni.

Hi! Congrats first of all! :biggrin:

I had a great time there last year. The diversity tha you get to see and experience is truly amazing. Also, the accomodation was very convenient. Although we stayed in Woodward, the dorms were well equipped and had a common room in which we could stay after our activities. The mentors and Hannah were super friendly and are always helpful. However, the only drawback was that i expected more schooling.. they only taught us the first week, for 5 days. Maybe even 4 if were not counting the first day. If youve got any other questions id be glad to help :smile:

HelloI have just applied for Imperial Global Summer School, and I am a bit worried of not being able to get in.. I filled in my GCSE results, which are all A* except for English Language. My A-Level predicted grades haven’t come out yet. However, I made a big mistake when writing the personal statement: I thought the maximum number of words is 500, so I wrote about like 400words. I just realised they wouldn’t look at any words beyond 200. I’m quite worried about it cuz I don’t think I explained a lot about my abilities that might suit this programme.Can you give me any advice or any idea about how difficult it is to get an offer for this summer school please? Thank you!!!

Imperial Global Summer School was the best experience I ever had, however I must admit it isn't as academecally challenging has I initially thought. You're spending most of your time doing activities, but the lab time for the medical stream is still really interesting.
