2015 Physics Applicants

My friend has an interview at Exeter- I'm assuming that's as standard! She got a straight offer from Lancaster though

Have any of you had your interviews from Imperial?

I just had a physics interview and found it really difficult- was asked both academic and PS- related questions and this person did really grill me into going into specifics which I couldn't answer- the academic part was similar to the Cambridge ones I've seen on their website. Not sure if it was supposed to be like that or maybe I was just being stupid

Yeah it seems to be I've seen a few say the same now. Do you know what the offer was? I think A*AA is the standard

For Lancaster? AAA, but unconditional if she firms it! She's predicted A*AAA and got AAAAB last year (dropped the B)

Wow, I can't compete with 4 really - that's probably why I've got to have an interview! I think I'd love an unconditional offer

My bad, you're just going for straight physics right? She applied for Maths and Physics so that may be why!!

Where have you been all this time? This thread is fantastic!

I'm from Spain and I'm doing the IB but my school didn't offer Maths HL or Physics so... I'm taking the national qualifications and Physics and Maths exam and the SAT Subject Tests. I also did my Extended Essay on Physics, but I still feel at a disadvantage and I'm scared they won't accept me because of my unconventional grades...

I'm interested in everything physics related (except the more mechanical stuff) so: quantum mechanics, astrophysics, particle physics, dark matter, medical physics, acoustics, relativity, electromagnetism... but I also love arts and humanities so I'm looking for a University with a flexible course structure.

If you know about any universities that do that (apart form the Physics and Philosophy courses, which also sound very appealing) please please please let me know!!

CONGRATULATIONS by the way to everybody that received offers!! I'm so happy for you!! I still haven't finished my PS and can't decide which Unis I will apply to besides St Andrews and Edinburgh, maybe Sussex and York? I wanted Durham but it's a fool's errand...

Aah I've not noticed any foundation applicants here aside from myself.

Keele seem to offer a HUGE list of physics and "insert any random other subject" including humanities; maybe check them out?

Just got ABB from Sussex if I firm, and I've already got an A
Sooooo I just need BB in FM and Physics!!
WOOP WOOP ������������������������������

Anyone received an offer from Sussex?

Yeah, MPhys Theoretical Physics, they want AAA. But I was early entry so they've had my application for quite a while. Also their IT admissions system was being upgraded or something and theyve not been able to put offers on UCAS until recently

Thought I'd start a thread where us Physics buddies can share about Universities and courses we're looking at and interested in etc!
A few questions to get started:
-Where you live?
-A Levels chosen and predicted/hopeful AS and A2 grades?
-Branches of physics you're interested in?
-Universities you're looking at/favouring?
-Specific course(s) you're planning on applying for?

Have any of you had your interviews from Imperial?

haha, well... My requirments are probably just the obvious and usual ones

Nice city/location if possible, good department, and a focus on astronomy or astrophysics if possible

I'm really happy:
One offer from Birmingham (A*AA)
3 interviews from imperial, manchester and exeter

And still waiting on Oxford. Xxxx

Are any of you going to be 'preparing' for Oxbridge interviews in any way?
