Chemical Engineering Applicants - 2017 Entry

I applied to Imperial and Bath on the 14th October and have only received an acknowledgement email from them as of yet. Should I contact the universities? It seems like others have gotten offers/interviews from these universities by now.

... and many haven't.

Just wait... average is 7 weeks. And don't forget the reply may be a rejection.

Yeah, I guess I'm just overthinking it. I wouldn't forget that, as that's what's bothering me. What I meant was that seeing other people getting offers and interviews who applied around the same as I did makes me wonder if I'm likely to get a rejection. I wasn't assuming to get an offer/interview.

I applied two weeks ago and still nothing from Bath besides the acknowledgement email, but I like to think university admission tutors are busy people. I worry about a rejection but it's not the end of the world, I have heard Bath aren't sure about how competitive the course is going to be yet this year, so that might be why they are taking a while. I also think we just missed the first round of interviews.

Thanks for the reply, it was reassuring.
I hope you get the offers you want! Which other universities did you apply to, and what did you get at AS level if you don't mind me asking?

I applied to Edinburgh, Sheffield, Newcastle and Heriot-Watt I only did a couple of As levels as my school only made us do them if they were modular or if we were dropping a linear subject. I got a B in maths (though I am resitting core 2), an A in biology and an A in general studies (which is useless). My predicted grades are A* in Chemistry, A in Physics and A in maths. Could've been an A* in physics but I didn't fancy harassing my teacher for it at the time.

I've got an offer from Edinburgh.

Oh cool, I live near Newcastle and the university looks quite pretty at night. Sometimes they have purple lights around the campus which make the buildings look great. It seemed to have good facilities from what I saw at the open day, I didn't apply though as I'd like to move to a new place. Oh of course, I forgot about the new A levels, I finished mine last year so I thankfully just missed the change. Those are really good predicted grades, well done.

Thanks! I quite liked Newcastle, I would like to go there or Bath.

Just got an offer from UCL for Chemical Engineering MEng
AAA including Maths and Chemistry
Now I got UCL, Birmingham and Warwick's offer in hand.
Imperial and Cambridge to go!

I didn't think Warwick did chem eng?

I applied for Chem Eng in Cambridge, Imperial, UCL, Birmingham and Mech Eng in Warwick (with a pure Chem Eng PS and no substitute PS handed in XD)
In the end it seems fine

What kind of questions do they ask in the interview?

Nothing to worry about. Make sure you have good answers to why chem eng and what it is etc.
You will likely be asked a technical question. I can't say what you will get asked but at my interview I was asked an a level maths question on series. Every interviewer is different
