XJTLU? If you don’t want me to send this, then I will delete it.

It's not there but lets maybe not make it a guessing game. (It's totally fine to leave this up though). I just wanted to try give some indication of relative strength of university without giving identifying information.
Is there any post/information about Imperial College Pure Mathematics?

Congrats! I believe that DP is just PAO/essentially guaranteed to get in. Can I ask which stream you were applying for?
