Hi, where did you go? I am going warwick ifp this september and I want to enter imperial college as well...
Does Imperial and Oxbridge accept foundation for entry into undergraduate study? There are lots of universities that will accept Manchester's foundation. Which foundation is it? They have a couple I believe.

Depends where you want to live. Warwick is a rural student campus and Manchester has a campus on the edge of the city. I went to Manchester and the prestige and quality of education is as high a standard as you will find anywhere and there are many students who go on to further study at Oxbridge after they graduate from Manchester.

Enviable position for you to be in! Good luck! :smile:

I didn't accept any offer yet but its 75% gonna be Warwick ifp for me to get a shot at top unis. So see you there maybe
PS If you don't mind me asking, where are you from?
I Don't think it's about prestige but rather the people and opp that you get when you go to an elite college
On imperials website they say they accept only 2 foundation years UCL and Warwick

Well that's quite interesting cause, on one hand, this proves that there's a chance to go to imperial but on the other, only 11 in the past 5 years means it is quite rare cuz I think batch strength is in the hundreds or something, then again it is IMPERIAL so..

actually science and engineering class is really small, only about 30 people per year......Therefore the ratio is not that bad......most of students went for business class and imperial only accept students learning science and engineering related in warwick ifp

Did you go through warwick interviews? The mathematics questions they asked me to work out are really really easy, so I think 80% may not be that hard for me.

Or may be they just accept you directly, while they asked me to do an interview before accepting me😂

Oh, I didn't have to do an interview I just applied and got a conditional. But I don't think those math questions can really be indicative of the course's difficulty.
Was this interview through skype?

Of cause the course won't be that easy, but they told me that I may be the fastest one to answer those questions, so that kind of tell me I have a chance to be a top one 😂
