    what gcse grades did you get in with?

    I don't know if there's already a post on this, so if there is I would appreciate it if you would post the link here. (I've tried looking but can't seem to find a post on it.)

    This is to current imperial students or people who have got offers, what GCSE grades did you get into imperial with?

    I would also just like to know whether these grades are likely to secure a place at imperial. I have read the imperial entry requirements (and the following grades fit) but I don't actually know if it is possible to get into imperial with them:

    4A*: English Literature, Religious Studies, Arabic and French
    2As: Mathematics and English Language
    2Bs: Double Award Science
    2Cs: Short course ICT and Geography
    1D: PE :-( I always hate mentioning this lol.

    Anyways, look forward to your replies and thanks in advance.

    Amirah

    in fact..i remember you now.

    you've started loads of threads like this a while back:
    anyone got into imperial with B in science gcse?
    good choice of AS subjects?
    Can I still get in in the future?
    should i decline my D grade?


    a couple of us had a bit of a spat at you last time as well. i'm just gonna copy and paste what i wrote last time..because it still stands:

    stop posting threads on here with questions like "can i get in?" or "is a b in science okay?". these are all obvious questions with answers that can be easily found. stop being lazy and go look it up.

    as someone who applied last year and will be starting at imperial in october, i know how stressful the admissions processs and i'm happy to answer sensible questions. the key word is sensible...don't flood the forum with useless threads and questions.

    and i realise you were asking about the difference between what the prospectus asks for and whether there may be some secret conspiracy theory where you need higher grades..and i've addressed this before as well:

    you should be prepared to accept 4 rejections and then reapply if you really want to do it. if you're looking to take the "i'd prefer medicine but will settle for something else just so i dont have to take a year extra" approach then your determination isn't 100%..which it needs to be for medicine if you ask me.


    please, please, please...stop posting useless threads. i know this sounds harsh and i'm sorry for being a bit of a dick...but you keep doing these posts. i'm more than happy to answer any sensible questions by PM or on the forum..i feel i have a responsibility to help those are in the position i was once in..but sensible questions please.


    i thank thee.

    woah thought my annoying habits had died down, obviously not... i think what i meant to say is that I have searched for threads on this but very few people answer or the actual question isn't answered properly and usually people divert from the actual question asked. When searching for this, there were only 3 threads found (excl. this thread) and out of those only 2 or 3 people answered and I guess that doesn't really give me a good idea.

    If it really annoys you, then sorry for that but I guess you don't have to reply to it if it's that bad. I was hoping other people may reply, if, of course, it doesn't annoy them as much.

    yeah it did thanks...just give that exam enough respect and anyone should be able to pass when you're allowed 20 pages of notes..hehe

    amirah..the prospectus is and should be your only guide. it's filled with facts, not lies or coverups over required grades.

    Amirah, it is perfectly possible to get in with those grades. You just seem reluctant to believe it.

    You cannot 'secure' a place at Imperial, or any other medical school, but just apply and see what happens. You don't need to know anything else.

    Is the hard copy prospectus the same as the online prospectus? Or is there a lot more info in the hard copy?
