Congrats that’s amazing!

I've applied to chemical engineering at imperial, ucl, Manchester, bath & Nottingham (w sandwich years at bath and nottingham). I'm predicted A*A*A*A in physics, chem, maths and further maths (A in further). My GCSE's I got 11 9's.
side note I only sent in my application to UCAS on Monday and yesterday I got invited to a virtual interview at Manchester in TWO WEEKS. has anyone else been given such little notice?

THIS IS WHAT IM SAYING!!! Imperial literally gave me 10 days notice. I panicked but now I’m calm.

I’ve gotten an offer from Manchester for chem eng!
Congrats on your offer too

Congrats! Still didn’t receive mine for chem eng and energy course

Lancaster and Sheffield for mechatronics, Lancaster, Newcastle and Leicester for mechanical engineering. Mechatronics at Lancaster is what I want to do so hoping ill get an offer for that, almost done with my personal statement, should send the application off in a few days.

Haven’t even had an interview yet. They’ve sent a “thank you for applying email” and nothing after that unfortunately

I’m not sure then, they could just be taking longer due to more applications. What A-levels are you doing?

Math, bio and chem, and predicted A*AA and also I applied to Chemical Engineering with Energy and Environment and not just chem eng

That’ll be it, I applied to just chem eng so the wait will most likely be different.

Hmm should I email them? Or just wait because I don’t think it should be taking this much time

Applied for electrical & electronic engineering and general engineering
Universities: Cambridge,Southampton and Nottingham
Predicted grades: A*A*A in Physics Electronics and Maths.
GCSE's 9988777655

Offers for Southampton and Nottingham both AAA.

Can’t decide between Cardiff or Loughborough as a safety, any advice?

Also loved Warwick but it’s got such bad reviews on the Guardian rankings I’m second guessing myself. Does anyone who does engineering at Warwick have any insight please?

Many thanks 😊
Has anyone else applied for Biochemical Engineering at UCL? its quite a niche course but I want to be accepted so badly. I applied for Chemical Engineering at all my other choices.

Me! And I’ve applied for chemical everywhere else - Nottingham, Birmingham, Loughborough and Manchester. It seems niche but it’s accredited by IChemE and i think im gonna specialise in chem eng in the fourth year! Biochem eng just seems much more interesting to me
