That’s great! I got admits from Warwick, Manchester and Durham.
I got the email for the wait list just today itself. I applied on Jan 20th and took my interview in first week Feb. How about you?

Will you be firming any of the other unis? I am thinking of doing so for Warwick in March. What programme did you apply for at Warwick?

I applied at Imperial on 15th Jan and took my interview on 8th February and got waitlisted today, so same ish time as you.

I am 100% going to reserve my seat at Warwick if I don’t hear back from Imperial in the next two weeks. I applied for the marketing and strategy course at Warwick. How about you?
Also, are Warwick and Imperial both at par according to you? Because I’ve heard really good things about Warwick too but I know Imperial has a slightly better brand value.

I applied for the same programme at Imperial as well. I really want to get into Imperial, but ;_;

I wouldn't say that Imperial and Warwick are at par w each other. Imperial is better than Warwick, but Warwick is a really good uni as well and is considered as one of the target unis by recruiters alongwith oxbridge, lse, Imperial, lbs and the likes.

Yes that’s what I’ve heard too. Do you plan on reserving your seat at Warwick though?
I’m not sure how long Imperial would take to get back with a final decision. I read somewhere that they could make an offer even one week before the start date.
