Should i withdraw my application?

I just got an imperial interview call but i've had an offer from oxford, my 1st choice. many applicants to imperial probably have that as their first choice so it might not be fair for me to hog a place and i'm not even sure if i want it as my insurance as i have an offer from ucl and there isnt much to choose between the two.
does anyone have any recommendations?

I think you should withdraw your application from Imperial to give others a chance - you already have 2 places secured which is more than you need (congrats btw) and its not like imperial will give you a lower grade req.

I say give the chance to someone else who's less forrtunate than yourself

Wish you all the best.

If you are sure that you would prefer UCL over Imperial anyway, then i think that you should probably withdraw your application as you are likely to get an offer from Imperial and someone who really wants to go there but is possibly a borderline candidate may not get an offer. Also you probably wont even need an insurance!! But definitely think about which of UCL and Imperial you prefer as an insurance.

ur choosin ucl over IMPERIAL?!? thats absurd! lol..im teasin...but on a serious level tho, if u are 100% sure that you dont want imperial as your insurance, then i think u shud withdraw ur application.....BUT u gotta be 100% CERTAIN that u want UCL as ur insurance! becasue theres no goin back!! from looking at ur grades, well, it seems like u will make the offer, so most likely u will be goin to oxford....BUT then again, shit happens, so u have relli got to decide (quickly) what u want for ur insurance!

hope that helps!

btw, i think its very nice of you to even think of withdrawin ur application to give others a chance!! its somethin that alot of ppl wont bother doing!!

and congrats on the offers!!!!!!

well this has been pretty helpful actually, i probably will withdraw it since as you all say there's no point taking a place that could go to someone else.
do i ring them up or write or what?
