Why is Imperial in Clearing?
Can someone tell me why Imperial is in clearing? and the courses they require 3 az for are they going to give them to just about anyone or what? I just mailed them and they offered me Elect Eng and Information Systems even though im committed to SOAS for eco ..

What are your A-level grades and subjects?
Apparently, Imperial is in cleaning not from a lack of student but because they want more students with "overseas" fee status. Those courses in clearing tends to be heavy lab ones that are high expenditure and hence needs a greater share of "overseas" fee students.

You can't say that without any proof, no matter how true it may be
The courses available in clearing this year are either undersuscribed or a load of people have missed their offers. So rather than take someone with ABB, I think they can ride their luck and snag someone with AAA (Come on, they have a 1 in 4 chance nowadays...)^ Source?

I stand correct. The point I was trying to make was that the chances are still awfully high, even at 1 in 10.
But you must understand that most people applying for Imperial are predicted AAA++.
asattar9
if the probability of 1 A is 1/4 then for 3 az shudnt it be 1/4 * 1/4
*1/4 =1/64 like in Statistics lol
*1/4 =1/64 like in Statistics lol
Stop doing that, it is wrong!
Those students who an get A tends to get more As. Those students who drop out of school tend to get straight fails.

yes, pretty embarrasing only getting AAA :P
Edit: no seriously...

What re you talking about? AAA is quite hard...
Yea its more likely to get a second A when you have a first A.
Anyway my source was the department of education website. Cant be bothered to find the link now. However, you have to take into account that any A-level is an a-level as far as they are concerned, and so they also include subjects like media studies and general studies, which are total mickey mouse subjects. Thus, from this I think we can conclude that those people getting AAA or better who have only respected science subjects are much rarer than 1 in 10. Infact, I only know 2 other people in my school who got AAA and their subjects werent total ****e.

yes I was mostly being sarcastic, but tbh, if about 10% scores AAA/AAA+ of UK students (as I've read on THES, but I can't link to it since it's not free) then it isn't really hard lol. Hard would be to score in the 99'th percentile.
