Applying to Imperial again

What’s your chosen course? Can you call imperial and ask? I know that some courses (like medicine) they’re saying that they’re happy to hold offers for students who missed their grades and are planning to resit so although they have to reapply through ucas they don’t need to retake aptitude tests or interview again, they just need to get the required grades

I'm applying for Electrical and Electronic Engineering. I'm thinking of emailing the admissions office and seeing what they think. I'm just worried that they won't consider me this time.

hey, i missed my medicine offer this year at imperial too (idk if EEE r doing smthg similar to med or not). i was told that i could resit subjects and the offer would be honoured for next year regardless of what happened this year. good luck

Sorry to reply to an old thread, how did everything go? Did you get in? And how did the process work? Is it more of an informal promise and you still had to reapply?

I had to reapply. But I didn't have to do an interview, they just used the same details as the previous application. They increased my entry requirement from A*AA to A*A*A but I got the grades and am now finishing 2nd Year

Well done, those are amazing grades to achieve! I might not get the grades I need due to a bad mental health flare up, and I keep reading everywhere that good unis don't allow resits, but this gives me hope. Should I phone up the Imperial admissions department now well before results day and ask about my options in case things don't go to plan?

They definitely take resits. When I didn't get in, I emailed them and they said they couldn't do anything and I had to reapply. I went through the whole process on UCAS again. The only difference second time round was no interview, no letters, no emails or anything. It was like I took a gap year but had to get an extra A*. But if you're worried about grades, I know people on my course that got a B in one of the grades and they still got in. It is worth to try.

And how did the students with the B get in, if you know? Did they ask to be let in or were their applications strong enough that they were automatically let in anyway?

I believe their application was strong and their interview went very well.
