Imperial College- Medicine 2017 entry

I chose the latest possible interview date, March 28th and am seeing that everyone else chose early dates, is there a reason for this I worry over everything lol

I chose 28 feb because i wanted time to go over my ps and check nhs issues, but im too impatient to wait until march (although being the 28th of feb it basically is march).

What were the other dates for march may i ask?

Theres no reason why people pick earlier dates other than personal preference. When you have your interview wont affect your chances of getting an offer.

They had dates for every Tuesday and every Wednesday in March I believe. 28th of March was the latest as I think this is when interviews end.

I think they do but also, it's not just BMAT they take into consideration. They said on their site that it's about your personal statement and reference as well. BMAT and predicted grade requirements are a way for them to cut down the list of people to look at in more detail :smile:

Yeah I think they have more to hand out. What were your AS/ predicted grades if you don't mind me asking?

Don't they give out interviews until March?

Would I be at a disadvantage if I did the interview at a later date? So say I picked 22nd Feb over the 1st Feb - would it slightly harder to get an offer as more candidates would have been interviewed.

Hi,

I applied to Imperial and haven't heard anything yet.

I got 5A* 7A at GCSE, and am targeted A*AA for A-Level. My BMAT was bad in the first two sections (4.9 and 4.5 respectively) but I got 4.5A in the essay. My personal statement is also apparently good, as I have been invited to a first-batch interview on the basis of it on Dec 1st.

Do you guys think I could still get an interview? Does anyone know when they stop sending out interviews? and do they send them out weekly?

Thanks, and good luck to everyone :smile:

Speak with confidence. Remember to pause and think of answers if you don't know them rather than stuttering. Good luck!

Did anyone get that email which they said to send out before Christmas to tell you the progress of your application? I'm a bit worried as I haven't got any kind of email from them for a long time, not even those newsletters.
