Manchester usually replies fast, my friend applied for biochem there and got an offer in less than a week. Imperial is more competitive so would probably reply in January-March

It really depends on the courses tbh, for me, I personally like the flexibility of the NatSci courses, being able to pick modules that relate to biochem but also being able to pick modules outside of my course eg at Durham I would study bio and chem but have credits to take classes in maths, earth science or econ to really broaden my degree. I hope to go into biotech one day so modules at bath for their biochem degree really appealed to me 😁
heyyy guys anyone have any offers? :smile:
