Chemical engineering

I am applying to do med at uni but also really liked chemical engineering, thinking of putting it down as my fifth choice, but wondering if the unis will even look at me knowing that my personal statement doesn't say a word about chemitry....

Just wondering how competitive is applying to do chemical engineering.....

89% chance of an offer if you meet Edinburgh's minimum grade requirements (ABBB @ Higher or BBB A-Level). Got this from their website, official admission statistics.

Are You serious......even if I don't mention chemical eingeering in my PS.....

Ok two corrections to be made: I assumed that only those meeting the minimum entry requirements would be recorded, upon closer inspection this is not the case. Therefore, the actual chance of getting in based on the minimum grades could be even higher!! Second correction: its 91.6% chance for Chem Eng not 89% :P.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page.

So you mean the 91.6% include people who applied and got below the ABB or BBB entry grade?

I will go for it then, cool, I owe you one.......

hiya,
i was wondering what types of extra curriculum activities linked with CE i could do to boost my personal statement for next year, e.g. summer schools etc.. in
thanks

hey! wanted to post a new thread but dont really know how. haha
how hard is it to get intoa good chem eng uni now? im quite depressed as i wasnt given quite good forecast. my lecturers refuse to let me know but im thinking its around bbcc???
din do really well for my mocks exam as i was so depressed after i lost my grandmother...but i definitely bucked up for the real one. but my lecturer's are solely judging my A2 resluts on my sucky AS mocks. any chances of getting a conditional offer at least???my lecturers asked if i wanted to wait for my real AS result so they may be able to upgrade my forecast...but that would mean i hv to apply for the 2011 intake(i dont want to wait for 1 year without schooling! so does my parents..) sighhhh
i'm really interested in ucl as its got all the societies im interested in & i love the place it's at. Any comments on ucl chem eng??? how's the department, social setting and all? also pretty interested in manchester,bath,edinburgh...any advice on good safety schools?
Regarding the chem eng course, i dont take physic A-Level's but i've the basics in middle school...i take bio,chem,math and psychology(i think psych may be of benefit as we'll learn on management, leadership etc )i do like chemistry albeit it not being my strongest subject...math's enjoyable to me although i'm not like, super einstein in it...sooo...do you think its a wise choice to take up chem eng? (kinda not sure what course i wanna take but i think this should be a good course for me???? lol if i dont decide on 1 i'll never get to decide)
AND i heard that i can work in a huge range of career with a chem eng degree right??? i find that interesting...i also read in some article that they may work with the FBI?
sorry for the longggggg questions...just been really REALLYYYYY depressed about the predictions. dont the real results count more?
lol, i last question : is there a significant amout of girls taking up chem eng as well? im an international student & i think its kinda awkward to be in a class/department where all i see are males hahaha i'd like to have some girl friends there!

Hi was just wondering if i need physics to study chemical engineering ? because right now i'm doing Maths, Biology Chemistry and Biology

You don't NEED it but the course is basically maths and physics with a tiny bit of chem, so you'll be disadvantaged without Physics.
