Official Imperial College 2024 Undergraduate Applicants Thread

That's just because Imperial tend to misrepresent their true applications to offers ratio. The big spreadsheet shows it's more like a 20% offer rate for UK based students for Computing. Hopefully that makes you feel better.

I think I've seen one person

Whilst I cant give you any decisive information on your situation I can however tell you about my experience so far. Like you, I gave the a-level maths exam and only got an A (242 marks which was 2 off A*) last year. I ended up however applying with 3A* predicted as I am also retaking the maths this year and I got an invite to interview a couple days ago, so in this regard they seemed to deem the other aspects of my application strong enough that the A could be overlooked (based upon my speculation). So is it possible to get an offer? yes. Will you get an offer? Im not sure. Will the A effect your chances? not sure but I believe so yes. But dont lose hope, Make sure to make up for this you have a great personal statement and perform well above average on the entrance exam and if possible maybe get your teacher to comment something about the retake on your ucas reference and perhaps of any disadvantageous situations that may have happened during you taking the exams. I've applied for joint maths and computing which I believe to be just as if not more competitive than aerospace engineering and am doing Maths, Further maths and physics. Other than that, Good luck!

Do you have any idea when they got it?

Hi, was just wondering since you've got an interview for JMC and I've also applied but no further info yet. When did you apply and when did you take the pre-interview test? What do you think you scored on it? When did you get the interview invite and when is your interview day?

That makes me feel a lot better and I thank you for that. But I have one question:

If that's the case, how come there are far more international students at Imperial particularly for my course (I believe the numbers are in the region of 60:40 for international:home) ?

did anyone apply for the aero engineering course before the oxbridge deadline and received their aero mat dates recently(like in the last 2-3 days)?

i applied on the 7th of october and was invited to the eee/aero MAT (I applied for EIE) on the 20th of October, My test is today.

Good luck!

I'm going to apply for the Joint Maths and Computing course on the 13th November. Is that too late? Will I have a lower chance of getting in?

If I recall correctly I think I sent off my UCAS September 29th and I had my pre-interview test on the 16th of October. I believe I scored anywhere from (7-10)/10 probably 8. (Note that they don't actually give you your results). I believe your chances are very low if you score 6 or below (single digit percentage) based off some statistic I read online (no idea if this is true or accurate so take it as you may) and ideally you want 8,9,10 for a good chance of interview. My interview date is on the 8th (November)

Nice, I got 8 November too - interview invite came yesterday.

Congratulations! Perhaps we may see each other on the day.
