Missed Imperial Physics offer, what can I do?

How do you have your A-level results now? Did you do IALs in a different exam session? For the current summer session I believe results day won't be until August.
In any event, they will review it as a near-miss application and it will be at their discretion whether to accept your or not. So see what outcome you get in UCAS for it - until it's listed as unsuccessful/a rejection, you're still under consideration.
Debatably A-level Maths/FM is more indicative of degree level physics than A-level Physics anyway so I wouldn't worry overly much about missing the A* in it if your goal is to pursue physics.
Not sure if @Sinnoh has any sense how likely they may be to consider a near-miss applicant in this situation?
Note if you have a fully funded offer from UToronto I'd probably personally suggest going for that anyway unless Imperial are matching the funding levels offered by then.

It would be worth checking with admissions at Imperial whether a) they’ve received your results or need some official confirmation and b) whether they’ll be able to make a decision shortly, or if you’ll need to wait until they see the rest of this years AL results.

I emailed them and they have informed me that I can a) send it for re-evaluation and update them if it comes back positive or b) wait till August for the final decision.

In that case not much else you can do. Have a word with your teachers as to whether a re-mark is likely to be worthwhile, otherwise it’s a wait until August.

Hmm what about my offers at USC and UIUC? Do you reckon I should leave them be?

Hi everyone,
I recently got back my results for my A levels.
I have gotten A* A* A A with the A*s in Mathematics and Further Mathematics. I got As in Physics and Chemistry. I was wondering if anyone knows how likely/unlikely it is to still get an admission into Imperial despite missing the offer condition. My offer was for Physics with a Year Abroad for A* A* A with the A*s specified in Physics and Mathematics and A in Further Mathematics. I feel kinda stupid about this given I plan to be a physicist and scored an A instead of A* in A level Physics but I can't do much now. So what exactly are my options besides waiting till August for Imperial to confirm? I have offers from UIUC, USC and UCL otherwise which are all confirmed. I also technically have University of Toronto with a full ride on hand in case...

im not sure about the whole imperial thing but OH MY GOSH WELL DONE!! those are AMAZING grades, i am taking the same alevels and its no light work at all, really congratulations on such amazing results🥳, wherver you go im sure youll do great, but best of luck with imperial!

Hmm what about my offers at USC and UIUC? Do you reckon I should leave them be?

I’d personally go with USC. In terms of American universities it is consistently top ranking. I’d avoid UIUC with your grades though.

Why would you avoid UIUC? Isn't UIUC a powerhouse for Physics in the US? Or did you mean my grades are too low for UIUC? They hadn't asked me for any specific grade conditions. They'd just requested grades be over an A.

No I mean your grades are great. UIUC is good but I think that the networking opportunities that come with USC are unparalleled. Also I think the physics/science dept gets more funding but I could be wrong.

Just thought I'd update this thread, I was rejected by Imperial. I'm going to UCL.

The problem with UCL, and London universities in general, is that you might feel a bit miffed by the fact that most students don't live together, so it feels harder to foster a sense of belonging with the student community. Personally l would have chosen a US or Canadian university over UCL or Imperial (l did my MSc at UCL), but then l cannot be certain of what the student experience is like in those countries, but it tends to be more rounded than at the top London universities. At UCL and Imperial the typical day involves lectures and lab classes, going to a library and / or cafe, then either heading to a club / society, then going home to a privately rented accommodation away from the student body. That might be fine if you aren't the most extroverted of students, and just want to focus mainly on your studies to score top grades, but if you are looking for a more fun, inclusive and leafy environment, perhaps the leading US and Canadian universities will offer that.
