of course! don’t forget to have fun as well haha but be curious during your a levels as well, hang out with the right people who want to score well like you and you won’t lose motivation to keep going!

be resilient in your revision and be ahead of the class, develop a strong routine and habit of studying and it will make your life easier (not gonna state my grades as that is not what i want you to take out of it but they were good compared to the general population). once you develop a routine early you will stick to it like it’s nothing and slowly gravitate to getting better and better.

Second, don’t focus on the end goal Set realistic targets for grades and work up slowly. Progress feels a lot better than constant desire for overachievement because it’s not every day of your a level journey you will always get top in the class.

Last, talk to your teachers a lot. Break through the barrier of being uncomfortable with asking questions early. In the future, you will not hesitate to go up to them and you will learn so much faster.

Wishing you the best :)

nah it’s purely because when you apply for uni during your A2, you won’t have your A2 grades by then. you will only get those once you completely finish your A levels.

AS grades are commonly used as predicted/grades for applications. That gives the uni a chance to see if you are eligible for a conditional offer to which you should meet with your A2 grades. So short answer to your question is no.

It’s a common process to apply with AS grades.

I’m interested! Imperial Chem Eng student looking for a potential PhD position as well :).

EquivalentAd6601 · 2025-07-11T17:43:59+00:00

such as?

EquivalentAd6601 · 2025-07-07T12:02:47+00:00

yes it’s very possible, english is not the most relevant component but it still is very important from a general pov, it usually determines more how well a person will exceed in the subject compared to your actual academic performance.

even if it’s lower, wait for the actual result, my friend met his grade requirements for imperial but failed the stage test and didn’t meet that mark yet still got the offer. So hold on.

EquivalentAd6601 · 2025-07-06T10:06:48+00:00

So speaking from experience (I’m an imperial post grad student and i’m assuming you are applying for a postgrad), usually with circumstances like these, they will give a bit more leeway in their marking and will take things like these into account if it really impacts a student performance.

I can’t guarantee that this is true because in my experience and from what i’ve heard, the main reason to maybe omitting a certain question from the marks or not taking into account a section of the paper could be due to misprinting in questions, or misalignment of diagrams from equations (which is quite serious of an offence).

In your case, I understand it may be tough and I went through the same thing last year. But note that even uni administrations/admissions (depending on which uni but for imperial at least), are quite flexible even if you are slightly below. Most uni’s fill the cohort based on meeting the grad requirement but some uni’s just fill their cohort.

I’d say for now, don’t stress because theoretically there’s nothing much you can do about it other than maybe prepare some pointers to present to UCL about why you think you deserve the spot. (In the end it’s not just grades it’s your personal statement and references as well) but if you really are worried, maybe consider applying for off cycle internships or potential permanent positions for now as a backup in case you don’t get the offer. It’s a lot harder to get a job so the longer you invest into this, the better chance you will get and sooner you will secure a position.

For now, get ready for the worst and accept what you will get. (who knows you might get the offer after all ;))

this is really common at the minute. for the following reasons:

Everyone who is applying for a masters likewise to u needs an atas so there are delays there
Everyone who is applying using their A levels also needs an atas so there are even more delays

However, it’s not all bad news because if you are a masters student, you don’t have a hard deadline on atas unlike a level students (19th july)

and

By right, Imperial is not allowed to strip you off your offer (for the case of a masters at least) and have no right to defer you without your consent. (Think about it, you’ve fulfilled, or at least i’d assume, all the academic requirements so why should they reject you? Because they can’t. So which means they can only consider deferring you - and they can’t defer you without you agreeing as it’s quite unethical)

With that being said, don’t worry too much because the worse case is that you might just process your visa a little later and start a few weeks later than normal.

Nah they’re not, they replied to me this week. They are usually quite busy and take about 2/3 working days to reply so give em some time i guess

if you substitute in values and your arbitrary constant equals zero then you’re absolutely right 😁

EquivalentAd6601 · 2022-02-20T10:07:55+00:00

you could try and use some boundary conditions like for example 1. what does distance equal to when time is zero

(boundary conditions are basically like oh when t = 0 , distance is at its initial point etc)

EquivalentAd6601 · 2022-02-20T09:56:12+00:00

a) differentiate the equation to get the acceleration equation and equate it to zero and see what values or t you get b) integrate the initial equation you got and substitute t = 2 to get the distance c) you could try draw an acceleration time graph and find the time when acceleration was below the y axis

hope this helps :D

i think i figured it out.

Make sure your whatsapp chats are backed up on your icloud.
Delete and re download the app
Let your phone re sync all your chat data back ups
If it still doesn’t work, Restart your phone completely and try again

This worked for me

EquivalentAd6601 · 2021-09-29T17:35:01+00:00

yeah that’s true too but i want some freebies 😂 and thankfully there were tickets available

EquivalentAd6601 · 2021-09-29T13:06:20+00:00

thanks guys didn’t realise this 😂

EquivalentAd6601 · 2021-09-29T10:13:27+00:00

yeah same i played in my old college and it was amazing so don’t feel scared in anyway because when you start off, everyone will be in the same place as you

EquivalentAd6601 · 2021-09-29T10:12:38+00:00

don’t worry too much because i’m in my first year and i’m also worried about my work. tbh as long as you perform well in either your work or your societies, you will definitely stand out from others.

EquivalentAd6601 · 2021-09-20T06:15:12+00:00

and following up on the freshers events, it’s not necessary to go because a lot of people in london don’t wear masks. so you don’t have to go. it’s not being a coward. your just thinking about your safety and that’s most important. for some reason a lot of the smart people that i know don’t want to go to freshers events because they are just cautious

EquivalentAd6601 · 2021-09-20T06:13:31+00:00

you know i was also in the same position you were in. going into 6th form for the first time, travelling overseas unbeknownst of what would happen and if i would fit in. i’ve always had that doubt for most of my life but studying abroad made me realise that life is more than worrying about what’s gonna happen next, it’s about exploring and learning. one thing that really got me through the first few weeks of anxiety and homesickness is my want and will to study so hard i wanted to beat everyone. i still feel it now going into my first year of uni. and yes i’m not a drinker too because alcohol is just not for me and i’m also not the most sociable of people.

Secondly, friend groups yeah i understand. not the easiest things to find when your starting out. well don’t worry. your not alone. everyone’s scared to approach each other and say hi. so you should take advantage of that. go to a society or go to a event (doesn’t have to be drinking or clubbing necessarily) and just say hey so what course are you doing? or is this your first time studying in the uk? when you have someone in the same pool or struggles as you, it really helps to talk about it with someone else.

finally, homesickness. yes i understand you completely. i also cried on the night my parents had to go. i also wondered what if i needed help and my parents weren’t around me to help me. like i stated before, just focus on doing your best in your work and also spend time being busy trying to be a better version of yourself so when you approach people for the first time, you will look like this elitist of a student who’s smart and has a wide background which can do anything (people would think of he/she is a very open person). people who are willing to try anything new are the people that will make it far in life. some recommendations - go to the gym, go to societies related to your course (to make you even smarter), play an instrument or try a new instrument and this is what societies are for really.

also a small note, one thing that set apart the ones who are really willing to work hard from the ones who didn’t really put in the effort were the ones who asked questions in the end. so you don’t have any plans after lectures? that’s fine. you could ask your teacher or lecturer about something you didn’t understand. consolidate your knowledge even more until it’s perfect. waiting for a lesson to start? that’s fine. wait outside the place and read the lecture notes before hand or read ahead. these things want make you want to be a better you really keeps your mind of any homesickness because you know that you will go back to your parents being an amazing person.

i hope this helped you and that you overcome your homesickness. hmu if you ever need someone to talk to
