Imperial EFDS 2026

Hi,

Has anyone else applied to Imperial EFDS for 2026 entry so far and have received an interview? If not, does anyone know rougly when interviews come out/ when interview season is. I'm worried that my Cambridge interview and Imperial interview will be too close for me to focus on each individually.

Thanks

Hi, I don't think EFDs needs a high tmua? I think your stats will deffo get you in for an interview...

Also applying here, but taking the TMUA in January as I didnt want to apply for a pure economics degree so didnt opt for Cambridge..

No I think it will be fine, EFDs has only recently started to use it and apparently grades including GCSEs, and personal statement matters more. What matters the most is the interview- people got rejected w a 6.9 tmua Last year ..
I was doing the TMUA in October initially so I've been doing prep on and off since the summer but it honestly depends on the day 😭😭😭

Can I have advice for the TMUA? I'm sitting it in Jan and I feel like I'm underprepared.
