Mechanical Engineering application for 2026

I've applied for Mech Eng for 2026 entry with A*A*A*A* (Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Music) to Cambridge, Durham, Bristol, Edinburgh and Sussex. I've had an interview at Cambridge and offer from Sussex, but I was wondering if anyone had heard from any of the others because I know people have for other subjects. Good luck with your applications!!

I've also applied to Edinburgh. They are famous for taking a long time with stem courses so probably won't hear back for a while. I've had some friends hear back from Bristol but it seems like most people have been told their application is on hold as there are so many applications they are waiting until everyone has submitted. Not sure about Durham tho.

Hi, I'm planning to do the same combo at A level - how have you found it so far?
