Imperial CS Interview on the 28th Feb

Original post by AP20061327

caught me off guard with my first question cuz it was about my epq but I had a bit of knowledge. second part is a diagram and u think about what is going on and then u proceed with a calculation so have ur calculator and sumn to write on.

I would be worried if you didn't know much about your EPQ. Hasn't your EPQ deadline passed yet? Our school set us a deadline for Jan 26th. People got extensions but it means that their supervisor is going to dock marks off them for the delay. I handed mine in on the day and I didn't invest too much into it (I did like 3 or 4 drafts?) but I don't actually need it for any of my offers. Durham CS doesn't reduce on EPQ and Imperial, Edinburgh and Manchester don't mention it in their offer conditions.

I don't think you are allowed to bring anything with you. I didn't bring anything with me and I was fine.

Ah ok...wish my school started earlier. Y13 would have been so much more chill.

They can potentially. I got my offer on a Monday but on the official applicant thread, there were many people coming out with offers on a Saturday (but mostly for different courses).

What are your 5 A levels? Trying to piece together your chances. Do they all link to the course as per the recommended and preferred subjects lists on the Imperial website?

Have you received any other offers from other reputable universities for CS?

6 is a tough point because you will have to have an EXCEPTIONAL application and I mean EXCEPTIONAL, looking through past FOI data. People who get 7 or 8 and above have a decent chance of securing an interview (~60%) but as shown by the figure, it's not really a guarantee. I mean, you know chance of interview isn't guaranteed when you see in the data that there are people getting full marks on the admissions test and still not securing an interview afterwards.
