Imperial maths 2024

I think most imperial offers are out now - either grades only or with STEP ask if lower.
In previous years imperial have tended to do a bulk rejection. It may be slightly later this year owing to MAT issues.
If you haven't had offer with STEP then it's probably going to be a rejection. it wouldn't be fair for them to delay asking weaker candidates for STEP when others with higher MAT etc are already prepping for same.
You can wait but Imperial are known for not really caring about rejected candidates - and you could be waiting months for a final rejection. I'd recommend considering firming and insuring other choices - especially if accommodation etc needs to be sorted.

Two things: you don’t know this for certain, especially given all of the MAT issues this year. And the other thing, why say this in the knowledge that it will only stress people out, well before the Imperial 31 March deadline?

Also you can’t firm or insure choices until after all decisions are received unless you withdraw from the ones you actually hope for. It would not be sensible to do this.

You can wait for the deadline but high scorers have had offers with no STEP conditions; lower scorers have had offers with STEP conditions. Worse performers have not heard yet. I'm basing my assumptions on how imperial have behaved in previous years. I've just withdrawn and firmed warwick and insured bristol but fine if you want to wait until end of whenever their deadline is to reject you that's your choice.

To anybody considering this, it is not a good idea. You can only be rejected by universities on ucas or by email or something like that (direct communication). Imperial’s deadline for offers is the end of March so if you haven’t heard yet, there is still time!! In any case, the ucas deadline to pick CF and CI is in June - ages away. Benefits of withdrawing early are marginal/non-existent as unis only tend to start allocating accommodation in May/June (after they’ve heard back from most people about CF/CI).

Stop being patronising and insulting. You are 'a happy offer holder' - well done you. I'm not.
So show some compassion and understanding rather than being judgemental and accusatory of others - who don't have an offer and who are very stressed dissapointed - who are you to tell us what to do? It's our personal choice. You are not in our shoes.
Other TSR users, who don't have an offer, are entitled to have a different opinion to you 'a happy offer holder' - you are not in our position. You're coming across as patronising and self-important.
Imperial open day is coming up why would I go to that without an offer? Why would I cling to false hope they might throw me an offer weeks after everyone else has received them, already asking for STEP on both exams - and to those who did had higher MAT than me. Why would I wait when imperial have previously bulk rejected late in the day.Those are facts. Stop being passive aggressive when the facts don't fit your 'happy offer holder' world view. Our view and position is not the same as yours
I think you 'a happy offer holder' are just getting off on others desperation and want them to wait for some far distant rejection.
That's emotionally damaging - Warwick is better uni in my opinion than imperial - cheaper more supportive and I prefer campus set up. After attending warwick offer holder day, Imperials ongoing delay helped me make my decision, hence I rejected Imoerial as warwick is my first choice and bristol my insurance
Perhaps you 'a happy offer holder' can stop sitting in judgement of non-offer holders and being exactly what you accuse others of - rude, patronising and aggressive. Show some compassion - you don't know what non-offer holders are going though as you're not one of us.

Yes it is a good idea for me. Again, why is your world view the only right one? I clicked the button on UCAS to withdraw from imperial. Took 1 second. My choice. I'm in control. I rejected Imperial As in my opinion Warwick is better choice for me.I can now move on emotionally - focus on Warwick as my firm and my A levels. I feel a weight has lifted and I'm really pleased and excited about my choices.
I no longer have the stress of waiting for an offer, and even if I'd got one I would've firmed Warwick as I prefer the uni. There's no benefit to me in choosing Imperial.. Who are you to demand others wait weeks or months, in state of stress, when they have offers from unis that are just as good and that they prefer.
I have a disability so can make arrangements with warwick on my accommodation and start to plan and look forward with excitement. For me it's been an excellent decision.
Maybe just focus on your own situation as 'a happy offer holder' rather than preaching to others who don't have offers and insisting your view is the only right one. It's not. You're just another TSR user and other users are just as delighted to be offer holders at comparable or better unis.
