Hi,
I applied for Mechanical Engineering, one of my choices was Imperial College London and I just heard back from them saying I was rejected. But apparently they 'reviewed' my application and have invited me for an interview. The bit that I am confused about is that I am being interviewed for Materials Science. I just have a few questions:
1: Why was I rejected from MechEng but my application seems to have been given to the materials department?
2:Is it worth going to the interview? I am kind of set on Mechanical Engineering but open to materials.
3:Will materials science have any significant overlap with Mechanical Engineering?
Thanks in advance for any help

I know that Mech Eng has a lot of materials in it, but it's only one topic of several that we cover. If you want to do Mech Eng, I'd stick with it, but I don't see any harm in going to the interview for MS.

Read up about it, then you can find out about whether it is worth going to the interview. I say why not?
1/It will give you interview experience
2/They might love you and consider you for MechEng again (not likely)
3/ You might love the subject
It can be very sciency and technical (sounds obvious but it's quite a contrast to engineering), although very interesting, it is quite specific. I'm not really sure what you can do careers wise.

This same also happened to me last year. I was rejected for physics but invited to interview for geophysics. It honestly is well worth going, as they will give you A LOT of information on the course etc. Generally happens as they may have a lack of applicants for materials science, but raise awareness by inviting those rejected students for interview.

The same thing happened with me, but except with Physics at Oxford- I declined since I think it is better to do the subject I enjoy, even if it isn't Oxbridge.

Thanks for all the speedy replies.
I think I will go to the interview (bit of a hassle though because I live in scotland) and find out about materials. It does sound quite interesting as a degree but I think it may be specialising too early for me and I would like to keep my career options open and not commit to a life of scientific research (which seems to be the main career for MS graduates) this early.
