Imperial or Bristol for Aero?

As places, I like Bristol tbh, it seemed really nice when I visited the cities a nice size. But London is London... it's gotta be just as good if not better than Bristol!

It ain't.

Bristol isn't a nice place? Or London isn't better than Bristol?

Firmed Bristol in the end. Always new I would but there is still doubt in my mind whether Ive done the right thing by rejecting Imperial :/ still

BRIZZLE 2011!!! DD

You have not in anyway disadvantaged yourself my friend.

If Bristol is the enivronment that you will suit you then it can't get better than that. At least you know now that you will be motivated to study at a place your comfortable with for 3+ years.

Even though Imperial might have a better reputation, It will only win against Bristol marginally.

Well done for getting offers from both by the way.

But what about your maths retake? Since you will not be attending Imperial anymore.

Cheers and I plan to retake it anyway. I was so close to an A* I may as well

Hey, quick question, what sorta extract stuff did you do get such places and what grades did you get in what subject? I want to apply for Aeronautical Engineering at Imperial, Bristol, Cambridge, Southampton, Bath.. well something along those lines.. I'm in year 12 and I wanted to kow. What kind of wider reading did you do? If so, could you reccomend me some ideas?

Thank you.

In Year 12 I did Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry and D&T Product Design. I got AAABA respectively and dropped product design at the end of year 12. I was only 2 UMS off the A in chemistry so my predict grades were A*A*AA.

Extracurricular stuff. I did quite a lot really but neither Imperial, Bristol or Cambridge said anything about it at all when they interviewed me. So im not sure if it mattered but i still did quite a bit. I did the Engineering Education Scheme, Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award and I also volunteer at a youth group too.
Extra reading I did get asked about at Imperial and Cambridge. I read Flight without Formula by A.C.Kermode but they said they'd rather me read a book with maths in it. And Fundamentals of Fighter Design which was a book i just picked up in the library and never actually read properly. Lucky they didnt ask about it! lol The book I should of read and is the maths version of the flight without formula by the same author is called Mechanics Of Flight. I think a lot of people read that book though so it might not make you stand out.

Your Welcome aero ftw

Thank you so much for this information, you don't know how useful this information is to me.

Btw, what is this Engineering Education Scheme?

Thanks.

Prospective Aerospace Engineers feel free to ask me about any of the application procedure etc aswell considering Ive just been through it
