How Hard Is It To Get Into Imperial

Yeah ive heard a lot of people rejected from cambridge/ them not filling up the spots.. and same with imperial going though clearing with BBB required because some of the applicants are that **** at computer science :|

Well thought I wouldn't get a even an Interview for chemistry however I end up getting an offer. I got BBC last year in chemistry, maths and physics however did better in january exams. My P.S was alright with my reference being very good. My target grades were A,A/B,B and they gave me offer of AAB. .

If they give you an interview, then your more or less in unless you really come across as a bad person. My chem interview went quite bad seeing that I failed to answer the more difficult questions but still they seemed impressed with me --- some how

To quote what was said in another thread "Imperial takes almost anyone".

Just to add to the quote, "anyone who couldn't/didn't want to get into oxbridge"

Strictly speaking though, that's not necessarily true, coz a few of my friends as you might already know, were rejected for Mech Eng. quite a few though, but well, at least I know that one of them wasn't anywhere near Imperial level.

Yeah I don't really believe this whole "imperial - wow" -effect. Because as I said they seem to just hand out offers right and left not doing much differentiation between applicants. I had an absolutely massive **** up during my interview WHY oh WHY did they give me an offer, surely that should be an indicator of my inability to study chosen subject?

But how many of your friends DID get an offer as opposed to those who did not?

I know, we sort of get that feeling too, however take this, around 4 of us applied for Mech Eng, some others for other subjects, i.e. Medicine, Biological Sciences... etc. and out of the 4 Mechanical engineers I was the only one with the offer (and not taking it for now either) whilst the rest of them got rejected. The rest of the applicants, I know of only 1 of them who has been given an offer, the rest, I'd assume either rejected or not replied yet. So you can imagine...

And they never used to ask for Further Maths for Mech Eng, now they seem to do... at least for me..

It'll always remain a mystery

so as long as you have AAA, your in ?

so as long as you have AAA, your in ?

Not necessarily.

Well I'm predicted more than that but yeah.

What I mean though is that many people apply with AAA and get rejected. Apparently the acceptance rate is 20%....according to wiki anyway
