Would you like to do Physics and/or Biology? If yes then pick UCL. If not go to Imperial.

Personally I prefer Imperial to UCL but I don't know the details of your courses. Take a look round on the days of your interview, find out which you prefer?

well the thing is I just odn't know! Imperial has the rep but UCL is far far more fun and the course is (arguably) more interesting. there's always Cambridge...its funny how I always forget about them when I think where I'm going near year. are you a biological Natural Sciences person?

The rep won't matter when it comes to keeping you interested and enjoying your course and time in the environment :wink:

Imperial Chemistry department was very good when i visited earlier this month, but it really does depend on what you want, if you want to do biology and physics as well then it is an easy choice....choose your degree above your uni

Hoping to be a Bio NatSci :smile: I've also applied to Imperial and UCL - but for Biomed, so I don't know about the NatSci or Chem courses. However, I did go to UCL's Chemistry department with my school and one of the PhD students said she'd advise us to go to UCL rather than Imperial if we wanted to do a chemistry degree. But she would say that. :rolleyes: Besides, you have plenty of time to decide which one to pick :p: Good luck for your interviews.

Hey guys. I have offers from both UCL and Imperial too. It's UCL natural sciences vs Imperial medicinal chemistry. Frankly I have no idea what I want to do, but Imperial does have a better rep for science...Would appreciate advice. =S
