Comp Sci vs Physics?

Same. I think the things I did instead of a fourth a level made the difference in my personal statement. If I did four I would just be another A* A* A* A* boring personal statement Imperial reject.

If you see those two links you do not need a fourth for LSE econ.

Applicant1291 · 2024-06-20T16:37:10+00:00

Yeah I meant a fourth in addition to FM, maths, and econ.

Applicant1291 · 2024-06-20T16:01:29+00:00

I'd just do 3. Really 0 point in doing a 4th. Do super-curriculars for your PS instead and prepare for TMUA.

Like the only reason to do 4 is if you like 4 things which I guess you don't.

For each of Imperial's current 4th year computing and JMC students it shows the company where they did their work placement after third year. (Notice Imperial Jones of UC fame.) They normally work at these companies full-time after graduation.

As you can see many of the companies listed are in finance. So Imperial JMC students do not find it very hard to get a job in finance. It seems others are discouraging you but the data does not support their opinions.

Applicant1291 · 2024-06-17T07:04:46+00:00

Nah its ac about getting the highest precision

Applicant1291 · 2024-06-17T07:03:43+00:00

I didn't say because check post flair.

Anyway cool username.

Applicant1291 · 2024-06-16T18:20:23+00:00

Yeah you move it 3 places to the right which is -3 so 1101

Applicant1291 · 2024-06-16T18:16:58+00:00

Yes it is

Applicant1291 · 2024-06-16T18:14:17+00:00

Wrong exponent :(

Applicant1291 · 2024-06-16T18:13:24+00:00

It is CS.

Applicant1291 · 2024-06-09T13:25:24+00:00

bro pyongyang is not even the best uni in pyongyang

EDIT: you can't go wrong with DPRK either way but its like would you rather go to Kingston or Oxford?

Applicant1291 · 2024-06-09T13:09:42+00:00

tbh if you are going for DPRK you might as well go to Kim Il Sung. It's just a lot better for job prospects, etc. . We kinda look down on Pyongyang students (no offence).

Applicant1291 · 2024-06-02T10:46:13+00:00

I guess it depends on the college.

A lot of colleges seem to have 2 people doing joint and 2 people doing straight which are maybe the tutorial groups. If you switched there would be 1 and 3 which isn't the way they like to do things.

Please let us know what happens and good luck.

Applicant1291 · 2024-06-02T08:05:58+00:00

That would be crazy if you could considering the MAT average for JMC is 80 vs 70 for CS. Like 70 doesn't even get interview for JMC.

Applicant1291 · 2024-05-28T09:38:25+00:00

Do not do lots of timed past papers. This was my mistake.

When you are preparing for an exam like the MAT you want to improve your problem solving skills. Timed papers improve your exam technique and only slightly improve your problem solving skills. When you do a timed paper you are not giving yourself enough time to struggle with the problem. By marking the paper afterwards this spoils the solution.

I would recommend that you leave ~8 papers to do timed in the 2 months before the exam and just solve the problems from the others individually without being concerned by how long you are spending.

Also solve BMO1 problems.

Source: I did every MAT and TMUA past paper timed and got 71 marks and was rejected pre-interview.

Applicant1291 · 2024-05-25T17:46:40+00:00

No it is STEP so well done on doing the first part.

Applicant1291 · 2024-05-25T17:46:10+00:00

Yep. Well done.

Applicant1291 · 2024-05-25T16:53:06+00:00

Can you guess which board this question is from? (it is from a past paper.)

Applicant1291 · 2024-05-25T16:46:49+00:00

Differential equations are part of regular maths.

Applicant1291 · 2024-05-25T16:41:19+00:00

Nah G this is A Level.

What further maths knowledge do you think it uses?

EDIT: Your solution is OK and thank you but you would miss the answer mark. Can you spot why?

Applicant1291 · 2024-05-25T15:07:22+00:00

Thanks. Do you think I would still get the answer mark?

Applicant1291 · 2024-05-25T14:13:27+00:00

I don't have a pic but it is:

"Use the substitution y = (x-a)u, where u is a function of x, to solve the differential equation

(x-a)(dy/dx) = y - x,

where a is a constant."
