Imperial College- Medicine 2017 entry

That's true, modular exams are much easier to handle. Look at maths for example!
I am glad though that for AQA, with the new spec, we no longer have controlled assessments, so there is a silver lining.
I think if we work at our absolute best, then the odds of getting our dream grades is in our favour

Wasn't control assessment an easier way to bring your grades up . Also I personally think the required practical is even worse not only does it not count as our final grade ( through we have to waste time doing it anyways) but to make the matter worse it may also be integrated in our normal paper ....

Yes that's quite true, controlled assessments are an easier way to bring up your grade but I really don't enjoy the long dreary weeks of doing it! But that's just me personally.
I guess I am just resigned to the whole idea of the practicals being integrated into our papers

Trust me ! I seriously have no idea what they will ask in our practical .... I'd really appreciate if someone could post similiar type of question that may come up or resources to help me prepare for it .

I fully second that! Is there like a thread for AQA A level Chemistry/Biology? I'll check

Does Imperial send out interview outcomes by email or Track updates??

How can private school , grammar school and underperforming state school like mine all get same offer . It's not fair !

Seems unfair but you'd be surprised how many bad private schools there are - they aren't all good! Imperial admissions have the ability to make an AAA offer so I'm sure they do if they feel it's the right thing to do. They may also use it on results day e.g. If someone from a poorly performing school misses their offer and gets AAA they still let them in vs someone from a grammar/private school who misses there offer maybe?? Im sure you'll do amazing anyway! Is imperial your first choice?

Yes... but A* in a science is a killer . If it was maths it could have been possible ...

True that would be easier 😊!

I go to a grammar school, the new students who joined our sixth form wanted to go back to their old school because the teaching at mine was absolute sheit compared to their old comp.

Our school thrives off the success of the student's own effort, simply put, you cannot rely on the teaching at my school to get you even an A, yet we have 99% A*-C at GCSE.

I go to a sixth form where there is 40% pass rate let alone A*/A . But let's see if the hard work pays off now .

Whoever has gotten an offer, when you get a ucas update did it tell you via email?
