I've emailed Imperial about this and as they've yet to respond, I thought I might as well put my question on here
I'm applying mostly to Biomedical Science courses therefore have written a biomed-centric PS. However, the Imperial Molecular Engineering course appeals to me far more than their Biomed course. Honestly, if there were more courses like Imperial's Mol Eng, that would be my most common choice. However, the course is pretty unique (unlike Biomed Eng, it takes a bottom-up approach to engineering, building upon biological principles, which I really like), hence the biomedical science applications.
How likely is it that Imperial will read my Personal Statement and reject me straight away based on the fact that it doesn't mention engineering at all? I have mentioned my aptitude for coding, love of research, have a chunk on radiology/physics principles and talk about multi-pronged approaches to problem solving, all of which seem to align with the mol eng curriculum, but I don't think it's as specific as they'd want, and in all, it's still clearly a biomed statement.
Imperial is my 2nd choice (1st being Oxford Biomed). I love the vibe of it and I don't want to waste the choice by applying to the wrong course. Despite liking the mol eng course way more than the biomed, I'd apply to biomed so I can still get into Imperial. Can someone tell me if I should go for Mol Eng or play it safe with Biomed?
(btw it's really the PS that worries me. Academically I'm secure, with 12*9s at GCSE and 4*A*s predicted. I just need to avoid an immediate rejection and get to the interview stage tbh)
