Chemical Engineering 2020

Thought I would create a thread so that everyone thinking about picking chemical engineering can have a chat :biggrin:

What is everybody's predicted grades and where do you plan on going?

Thanks but it's too much work😭😭😭
I would've taken FM for A2 but I didn't really know what I wanted to do at the start of year 12 so I tried to pick subjects which kept my options open. Hopefully it doesn't put me at too much of a disadvantage. Btw why Magdalene?

I regret not taking the full further maths a level every day of my life tbh. I kinda had no means to eliminate any so I took off few for high rent, few for private to public school ratio, loads more for being too big, then I looked at this website for statistics and just went right I’ll just go for Magdalene. I donno whether I’m gonna change it for an open application because I need to talk to someone at college about that but if i don’t it will be Magdalene.
Why did u choose Magdalene ?

I was considering doing an open application, but some colleges required A2 FM and STEP, so if I get put into those ones I'll be rejected. In the end I looked at which ones gave the most offers the last couple of years and out of those I just chose magdalene cause of sport😅😂😂
In terms of public/private school, I've read that they have a slight bias towards private school students. I go to a grammar school but it's also a state school so I've got no clue how they'll judge me. What's your school like ?

Tbf the private: state didn’t really bother me that much , it’s just I had to eliminate them somehow. I go to a state college, but it’s got a solid rep of sending students to Oxford and Cambridge. Well if open offers might require A2 fm, then I won’t be doing that and defo not step. I’ve been reading around quite a bit but I haven’t heard of step or a2 fm that strictly, do u know where u read that?

I'm pretty sure that in the college requirements trinity said it required STEP. The individual college requirements should be online.
