Hey!
Yes! I mean Adv. Aeronautical Engineering. Well, that bothered me. But I figured that since this is Imperial's first shot at the MSc, that there may be glitches and patch-ups here and there to structure the programme well. And since I got an offer for MSc Mechanical Engineering from UCL, I thought it wise to do that first and then go to Imperial next year, with the hopes that the program will be better structured and that it would be accredited by then, hopefully. But as it is right now, I can't even go to UCL, cos' of visa issues. So I have deferred both. I now need to decide which one to forfeit next year. That's why I asked for you guys to 'keep in touch' so that I can monitor progress and know how to make the right choice next year. The accreditation bothered me indeed. But I visited the website and saw that there's a cool flight simulator there. This, among others, still makes me want to go to Imperial nonetheless. And besides, Imperial can be a very good name on your resumé/CV.
I'm still confused though. Hopefully, this gap year will help me weigh the pros and cons and make the 'right' choice eventually. And once again, hopefully, the course will get accredited before the end of the academic year!
Regarding deferral, all I had to do was to send an e-mail to the department and I also copied Engineering Admissions at the Registry in the e-mail, stating that I wanted to defer my offer, if possible. The department replied few hours later and said they had no issues/reasons for me not to defer and asked Admissions to update my status to 2015 entry, which was done some 2 or 3 days after. It was that easy; they didn't even ask me why I wanted to defer.
Ok, I've written a ****load essay
. I'm sorry.
I wish you good luck in whatever decision you eventually take. And I would definitely like to know what you finally opted for. Please send me an e-mail later:
