Imperial College Medical Applicants 2015 entry

From what I have seen, some people with low BMAT scores and got interviews have completed A levels (safer bet for unis imo) and done rlly well (I.e. In one case even 6 A levels getting multiple A*s and A's...) or got amazing GCSE's (over like 11 A*'s and many A's). Now this isn't always the case, but generally speaking. Also, once u get an interview, it's pretty much about ur interview performance with Imperial. So I guess having a high BMAT for someone with not so good GCSE's or A2 predicted, relatively speaking, will be an advantage as it shows the uni that they can do well, it's just annoying for someone who got gd GCSEs and A2 predictions but a low BMAT cuz it limits their chances... To an extent I would agree with u as there are just so many factors that play a part but once u get an interview, From what I know, there don't rlly seem to be very many advantages of a high BMAT....
Regarding the 2 weeks after interview, I have emailed the admissions officers and they said:
Applicants following interview are notified via UCAS within 14 days.

hope this helps!
did u get an interview btw?

Thanks for this...booked the interview for 16/12. I have good BMAT, GCSEs and AS grades.....people from my school with lower bmats (in the 4 band) are also being called for interview.

So not sure if bmat is a consideration any more.

Congratulations on the interview!!!

Yh, interesting really! Imperial used to take BMAT very srsly... Mayb those people from ur school had amazing GCSEs/AS/predicted/ps?

im still left hanging...

anyways, gd luck with ur interview!

Oh sorry to hear abt Oxford, hopefully ull be fine with the rest though!
Congrats on getting the Bham interview!! How was it?
If u dont mind me asking, what were the rest of ur stats like?

I applied to Cambridge, Imperial, Kings and Queen Marys. Cambridge sent me an interview invite just over 4 weeks ago (abt an hr after i sat the BMAT lol), interview is in 6 days, nervous as...!! The rest havnt said anything.

Gd luck with ur remaining unis!

By the way did any international applicants receive an interview?

Received interview on 16th Dec. Anyone with me?

Yep, interview on the 16th here too

Nice! When's your interview and how's your BMAT?
I also applied for the tour as well, hopefully see you there

Interview is at 2.30, and my BMAT was: 5.1 6.3 3.5A
Yeah going on the tour too, probably see you there

I selected the 2.15pm slot. Is this guaranteed?

I can't tolerate receiving rejection from Imperial for the second time without even getting an interview.

yeah I think so? Pretty sure they remove the time slots from the survey once theyre taken, so should be fine

Oh ok, it's just that on the confirmation email, it said something like if you get contacted in the next 7 days your interview time may change. Has yours said something along those lines?

Why has everyone decided to get the earliest interview possible!? loool

I've booked it for the 28th of January
