I have applied to 4 Chem Eng and 1 Aerospace.
I've applied to Cambridge, Imperial, Bath, Southampton, Sheffield (aero) and the first 4 as Chem Eng
I only applied Aero at Sheffield to make use of my AS in Further Maths as none of these (except Bath dropped grade requirement) including Sheffield Chem Eng but drop for any other type of Engineering.
My A levels are Maths, Physics, and Chem and I took AS Further Maths. Got 3A* as predicted and an A in the AS.
GCSEs 9999999887- Maths, Triple Science, History, Business, Eng Lang, Eng Lit, Food Science, French.
However I'm not too sure about Southampton. Bristol and Leeds are tempting, but since I live close to Manchester, I don't really want to go there.
Anyone else?

Hi! I'm going to apply for robotics/mechatronics engineering at Bath, Leeds, Sheffield and Liverpool (I'm still deciding on the last university to apply to). I'm studying Maths, Economics and Physics and so far I'm being predicted A*AB but it may go up in the next week. For my GCSE's I got 777766655

Hi I was wondering what you got in your sciences for GCSE’s?

Did u get into Cambridge? Also do u feel chem eng is a dead course?

Why would “chem eng” be considered a “dead course”

Is it boring and dull? And no jobs

I wouldn’t say it’s inherently boring but that’s personal - if you find chem eng boring there’s a good chance you would also find other engineering disciplines boring.
Well i work with chem eng grads who seem gainfully employed in good companies & the main markets for chem eng I don’t see drying up personally.
Hi!
I’m applying for Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
I’m thinking Imperial, UCL, KCL, QMUL and Brunel, but I’m not sure about Brunel. I have two safe unis so I think I should change it. (If anyone has any other good London unis for EEE, I’d appreciate it!)
I got an A* in A-Level Maths last year and I am predicted A*s in Further Maths and Physics. I got 9999999988 at GCSEs!
Applying tomorrow !

no, ive applied this year 23, so I haven't got in, to be honest I don't know why I have chosen Chem Eng, it looked cool researching it, plenty of jobs compared to aero eg and really good job prospects following university, but it does look a bit difficult now I read more into it, idk we will find out

Exactly it looks hard and it has a lot of maths. Personally I’m just worried if we’re allowed to use calculators during the chem eng exams because I ain’t doing mental maths
Also did u sit the NSAA, I guessed half the math answers; it was so difficult. Don’t think I’ll get in

You'll be allowed a calculator in your exams. Maybe some universities might have a non-calculator maths paper, but I'm not aware of any.
I need help. I applied for Aerospace Engineering at Uni of Liverpool but now I am thinking of substituting it for Uni of Manchester after seeing its graduate employments arent great. The only thing which is deterring me is Manchester city itself since I prefer Liverpool City over Manchester. What do you think I should do guys?
