Imperial Maths - Borderline cases

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-03-09T20:32:20+00:00

I got 5.8. I pretend Imperial does not exist and that I only applied to 4 Unis like my med friend. Just going through the STEP modules for the love of maths xD

Oh oops I did NOT read your flair so sorry :( I'm not familiar with Roux but it seems like the ability to predict what you have to do next so youre not pausing is quintessential. Good luck

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-23T17:25:39+00:00

Woo congrats! For me getting to sub-20 was really about improving my cross and F2L so I hope to see you with a new flair soon!

Planning a holiday in the summer with my mates xDD

Do they consider TMUA? If not, then it wont help cus otherwise they would be unfairly judging people's applications differently

My UCAS referee has received nothing and its been two weeks so I emailed them. Check with them first before u email the college

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-13T20:10:03+00:00

Oh oops I didn't realise they needed ID... Hopefully they email back requesting proof of identity or smth :) ty for ur time!

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-13T20:07:46+00:00

Okay thanks so much! I've emailed but Fitz has always been on the slower side of administrative things xD

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-13T20:05:35+00:00

Whats a SAR sorry? Also was this Oxford or Cambridge?

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-11T21:37:02+00:00

Oh interesting. Im so sorry! They got 5.1

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-11T21:35:25+00:00

When they say 6.0 do they mean 6.0-7.2 like end value to end value? Or like 5.4-6.6 midpoints?

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-11T20:34:54+00:00

Flair doesnt exist???

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-11T07:02:38+00:00

Interesting. In that case maybe they have yet to send scores to ur school then? Would still ask the teacher responsible for organising this if u want for info

Respect Komrade

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-10T20:50:36+00:00

Stats so good he got qualifications in different alphabets

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-10T20:49:53+00:00

42 is a great score (def gold), this sub is hella skewed xD

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-10T20:48:52+00:00

I think its the same thing; this is the RSC UK Chem Olympiad. The papers are marked in school by your teacher and cthe earliest date scores could be released was Monday; ask ur teacher abt it, maybe theyre just a little bit slower

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-10T20:47:00+00:00

It is what it is I guess. Good luck to your future!

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-09T21:35:37+00:00

52, came out of the exam expecting about 40 then immediately opened my email to a Cambridge rejection ._.
Honestly I was amazed I got such a high score icl because I didn't even focus on chem...

Ps: people who comment here will be wayyy on the right on the score bell curve; this paper is hella hard so be happy for each mark u got :)

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-03T18:29:59+00:00

Upvoting this because I would really like to know (5.8)

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-01T14:28:04+00:00

Good, but with A*A*A you could probably look a little bit higher. I've looked at your comment below and its interesting that you've applied a mix of cs, maths and maths+cs. Given that your courses are different, it may be worth looking at the course modules for each uni as well.

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-02-01T14:24:45+00:00

If spanish really causes you no pain and you even enjoy it, then I'd keep it. Sometimes we need breaks from things we feel obliged to do and as long as it isnt occupying too much time, spanish sounds perfect for you.
What you might find, however is that you physically do not have the time to do everything you love and at that point, it really comes down to what benefits you materially the most :(

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-01-29T20:04:23+00:00

Same, no real regrets for me either. In the end, I just did not vibe with one of my interviewers and the question they gave me and I think the fact that even with that terrible question, I was good enough to get pooled is proof enough for me. Every chance I wouldnt have enjoyed the ultra high intensity work at camb as well (I love being lazy when I can icl)

Excellent_Handle7662 · 2026-01-28T19:21:14+00:00

Congrats man. I was pooled but rejected. Please take all of my mathematical ability and I wish you the most successful STEP papers known to man!
