Especially considering they don't even always give STEP offers to their mathmos. I haven't been able to come up with a better reason than 'don't insure us'
They always give STEP to mathmos. I've never heard of mathmo with no STEP unless they've already done it.

As far as I know you only get a non-STEP offer for maths at Imperial now if you do alright in the MAT.
Ah ok. They can't claim the reason 'oh we need to see if you're good enough by setting you STEP' as a lot of people DON'T have STEP offers. Ugh hate them.
Oh sorry just read previous posts. I thought you were talking about Cambridge. Only reason they give out A*A*A ones to top mat scorers cause they know they prob got offers from oxbridge. And if its cambridge half of mathmos miss step offers and end up at insurance which would be imperial for A*A*A.

I don't even think you need a top MAT score to get a non-STEP offer from Imperial. Wasn't there someone on the MAT thread that got an offer with a score of 50-60?

I dont think so. Doubt it. Most of them have scores of 70+.

I think oxford use it more to shortlist then guve offers. That can be seen by 1/5 of people with 90-100 getting rejected 😁. I have no idea how imperial use it. They are just weird. Who gives a **** lets go Cambridge 😉

Yes, how Imperial conduct admissions for maths has always been a bit odd, even back before it was standard to give STEP offers. There are good reasons why people with high MAT scores don't end up getting places. Let's just say the MAT doesn't measure potential for some subsets of applicants as well as it does others.
