Do I still have a chance for Physics at Imperial, or should I just accept defeat now?

Hello everyone, I sat the ESAT in October and I've scored horrendously (3.4 in Maths 1, 3.3 in Maths 2 and 2.7 in Physics) <- I'm 99% sure this is why I got rejected without an interview at Cambridge for natural sciences
I'm wondering if I have any hope for Physics at Imperial, as after emailing them, they told me to "wait and see how my application gets on."
I just feel so hopeless and have tried scavenging the internet to see if there's any advice online on what I should do. I'm predicted 4A*s (Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Further Maths), but I know that it means nothing to them as that's what they'll expect everyone to have been predicted/achieved. I'd like to think my personal statement is good, but then again I feel that universities that claim to be "hollistic" only really consider how well you did on the entrance exam and not much more. (I could be VERY wrong though)
If anyone has any advice it'd be highly appreciated and thank you so much for reading this rant.

Hi, I don't suppose anyone has had a decision from Imperial?

Hi! I also applied to Imperial physics and Cambridge natsci. I would say to just wait and see. The ESAT was sat for engineering as well and so the average imperial physics applicant may have a different score to that of engineering/natsci at cambridge for example. I don't think Imperial will only look at ESAT score since it was the first year it was used and I personally found it much worse than NSAA/ENGAA/imperial PAT. Also don't deep it- you seem to be very hard working so you will def thrive academically at any uni. Good luck!!!

Thanks for this. I do hope Imperial look at the scores for Physics applicants separately after removing engineering applicants.
I just hope we hear soon. Does anyone happen to know when? (Other than before end of March, of course!)

Imperial Physics offers are expected to start coming out around early March.
Just out of curiosity, you said you hope that Imperial looks at scores of Physics and Engineering applicants separately, Does this imply that you think Engineering applicants tend to score higher than Physics applicants? Why do you think this is the case?

I think they do separate the physics and engineering applicants as engineering is generally a more competitive course. also i assume each department only receives the scores relevant to their applications

4.6 avg, applied physics MSci.
Not expecting anything with this Esat, but just want to know

Hello everyone! I didn't expect this post to act as a harbour for all my fellow ESAT victims. Unfortunately, I have not heard back from Imperial but I'm not too bothered now as I've received offers from Manchester, Durham and Edinburgh. Obviously if Imperial gave me an offer I would gladly accept, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. Thank you for replying and hopefully we all make it 🙏

but this esat isn't really bad... depending on your modules, you must be in the top 60-65 percentile. Is that not good? I think you have a fair shot if all other parts of the application are balanced!
