I have received an offer from UCL. Have you heard of anyone who has received anything from Imperial?
Yh I got invited to the recruitment day on the 27 November.
Hi do you mind me asking when you applied? I'm so scared that I am rejected.

Are you a UK candidate. Have you heard anyone else get invited. Sorry to bother you but Imperial is my top choice.

I only know of one other person, who's in my school. Yes, I'm a UK candidate. I wouldn't worry if I was you because there's a second batch of interviews. You still might get an invite.
It's so weird you have heard from Imperial and not UCL. I got 4 A*s predicted so I don't see why they don't invite me. I applied back in early October. When did you hear back?

Same. But I received the interview email last friday and it still hasn't been updated on track... anyone else having this problem?


It’s the same for me, think that because it’s a group selection day it might not come up as an interview but not sure
*received
what's this maths test. in previous years it was at Imperial right?
