Hey, I got 4.7 4.9 2.5A and I was wondering would my sec 1 and sec 2 marks be able to get band 2? My essay won't I know but then I could go for a remark if there is a possibility of getting that band 2.
Guys, were your AS grades indicated in your subject reference, regardless of exam you sat in (internal or external)? I ask as mine includes a B grade in two of my subjects and i worry that it would bring my application down.

Is there such thing as band 3 and 4?

If so, what does everyone reckon these cut offs are approx?


Band 4 is quite low I think for widening participation which you need to be eligible for. (My section 1 was so low so I'm hoping to get an interview through WP #killmeforhoping😂)

If it's for Imperial, I don't think they look at AS (and GCSEs) so it shouldn't really matter. Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

I wish they took AS results into account instead of 100% BMAT for shortlisting

Ah okay how do they decide whether you're eligible for Widening Participation?

Aww hopefully you get an interview, my scores for the BMAT were on the low side especially S2: 4.3, 3.7, 3A :/
such a mistake applying to imperial

Ours are very similar, but my lowest score is lower loooool 3.3, 4.7, 3.5A

And erm things like free school meals, first generation to university in your family, etc.

You did well on S2 and your essay, they're good scores!

Oh I was eligible for contextual data with BSMS because I've applied there so I guess I'd be eligible for Imperial too, no idea how you tell them though :/
But I've applied for Graduate Entry so maybe not lol

Yes your sec1 and 2 would get u into band 2 but because u got 2.5A it means overall u will be in band 3

I don't think it applies to graduates unfortunately :frown:
Tell me about it, I have no hope for Imperial, I expect a rejection :/
Hey I got 4.7 4.9 4A

Will this meet band 2? I know last year band 2 was 4.6 4.6. Do you guys think it will be higher or lower this year?
I don't think imperial look at GCSEs anymore
Hey guys, another imperial hopeful here! Everyone's stats look amazing! Hope we'll get interviews
6.6 5.7 3B
Would that put me into band 2 safely?

Got 3.8 6.2 2.5A

Disappointed with section 1, but nevertheless do you think I have a chance of an interview?

Sorry but the cutoffs have never been that low I'm afraid. Your section 2 score is great though!
Would 5.2, 4.5, 3.5A be ok for this year ??
