You also need to remember that more offers are made than places, so there may be 300 places but maybe about 600 offers made - so it's not quite as dire as it sounds. Even so, like Zaynab said... if you want to apply to medicine, you really do need to get used to those stats, because everywhere is that competitive. In fact, Imperial has better stats than others. I think Bristol got 4000 applicants this year for a similar number of places.

The best advice is to do as well as you possibly can. The grades mentioned before will be fine for Imperial - but generally the more A*s you have, the more secure you are. This is definitely the case for Birmingham, and remember the calibre of people applying to Oxbridge and Imperial. You need to give yourself the best chance, really.

To be honest, it's pretty standard that one will require at least 15 A*s. Having said that, I do know someone who only just managed to scrape into medschool with 14.

Hope that helps.

You know, its not nice to be sarcastic with people who are applying - they're vulnerable!

If people are good enough to get loads of A*s, then they'll be good enough to filter out the true info from the faux. Bo.

It's more advanced, I'll give you that. However, just because it's more advanced, does it necessarily make it better? I'm going to stick to my guns (or should that be electrophiles?) and back Electrophilic Addition.
