Chemistry offers for UCL and Imperial

From what I have heard from Imperial they are not giving out offers for the chemistry department until all interviews are done in March time.

hii, has anyone received any offers/interviews for chemistry at imperial or UCL?

I have a UCL offer AAA

Oh I heard that it was until mid Feb have you received any interviews for imperial I'm still waiting for a response

Yeah I was lucky and got first week of interviews back in November. I don't think when you get the interview is any real indication of strength of candidate though, I just applied very early (September).

Oh okay thank you what were your predicted grades? if you don't mind saying

A*A*A* in bio, chem and maths and an A in EPQ. Had some good olympiads and work experience and things under my belt too so idk.

oh I'm predicted A*A*A in maths chem and bio, I don't have an epq and not many work experiences like that but I did do a lot of courses and read a book would that be okay?

The grades definitely sound fine to me at least, and I doubt they care much at all about an EPQ unless its something to talk about at interview. I wouldnt worry too much and if you read relevant books then it definitely sounds like you have a good chance at interview!

okayy thankss did you read and include the disappearing spoon in your ps I included that one but it has a lot of different stories about elements in it so i havent finished it would they ask me about a specific topic not in my ps about it or let me choose a topic in the book i would like to speak about?

Not one I read personally but ive heard good things, I mostly read some like first year textbooks. In my interview they didnt explicitly ask about my reading but my knowledge from them was useful to answer their questions so I would focus on getting a good understanding. The actual format of the interview was half asking about my interests in studying at Imperial and why chemistry and then the other half was just technical with a brief question about something I mentioned on my ps.

Yeah I had similar reasons, I talked about a couple of their modules which I found interesting. I want to go into drug discovery so the med chem modules sounded particularly interesting to me and I linked that to my work experience when I was working in a drug discovery lab. I think as long as you can articulate your reasons then no reason is really better than another but I'm not entirely sure.

Okay thank youu hope you get in!

Hi when did you apply if you don't mind saying and what course did you apply for + predicted grades?

I have 3 A*s predicted Maths Chem Bio and Chem with a yr abroad F105 also applied back in October jst before oxbridge deadline
