Imperial College

Hi everyone.
I'm thinking of applying to Imperial College next year (I'm in year 12), but I want to apply to chemical engineering and take Physics, Maths and Chemistry.
I wanted to ask; if I get 3 A*s, what additional measures should I take to ensure my place is secured (i.e. supercurriculars, extracurriculars or any sort of enrichment activities). I know taking only 3 A levels doesn't help my case, so I want to maximise the chance that I'm accepted when I apply.

Thank you very much ^^

First read the application process. You get an offer and THEN sit your A levels. Prior to that, just be good at your subjects. lf you not yet good, get good.

Grind supercurriculars.

Take FM?

My school won't allow me to because I'm too far ahead in the year now, however i might do edX imperial further math but idk if that's sufficient enough

Self study and take AS FM? Do well on SMC? Arkwright fellowship?

i would really, really recommend that you self-study at least as level further maths - the amsp might be useful with this. also the compos follow-along programme would probably be good for you. the british physics and chemistry olympiads would be good too
