Waiting list

[Nitha]

I need some advice. Imperial rejected me but said if I don't hold any places in August with Ucas they will reconsider as long as I get ABBa. I have two other offers but Imperial is where I want to go and I think I'd rather reject those other offers. Is this supid? Are there any imp med students who got places after being put on the waiting list?

personally i wouldn't take the risk..it's up 2 u..if u won't be happy anywhere else then decline them..

nitha dnt decline them, well personally its not easy getting into medicine and im sure there are 100's of prospective students out there who would give ya anything for the 2 offers u hold already where are they from?? including me i dnt hold an offer and im applying after i got AABb for my a levels! and ive been rejected by 2 already! its a risk!

They are from Kings and Birmingham. Its just I've wanted to go their since I was like 10. I knew I wanted to go their before I even wanted to do medicine.Plus I wouldn't mind taking a gap year if I didn't get through. I don't want to regret it in 5 years time. Doesn't having a gap year give you a better chance of getting in? Where were your rejections from?

I know someone who got no offers at all, got put on Imperial's waiting list and got a place having got AAAa.
If I were you, I wouldn't take the risk but ultimately it is your choice.

you have to decide what is more important to you.....to be an Imperial graduate or a doctor.

If u really want to be a doctor go to Kings, u'll still be in London and you'll still have a fabulous time.

If u want to be an Imperial graduate, decline the offers. Be warned, you still might not get into Medicine, but after all is Imperial u want, not a medical degree. If u miss getting into medicine in august, try sometinhg else in clearing, like Biochem, Biomedical eng, or even Chemistry. I suspect u'll like these better anyway.

I feel for u, I really do. I was exactly the same. But I decided I wanted to be GP more than I wanted to go to Imperial, even though I have an IC mug and T-shirt (I know i'm sooooo sad) in my room.
I have my interview next week, but have come to terms with the fact I might not get in. I applied to both Birmingham and Kings and have heard nothing from them. I figured as long as I get Kings I should be happy and can't let some unfounded obssession with IC ruin me and a potential career medicine.

If you want to me a doctor may I'll see you at KCL, if not then..........
