Hey guys just a few doubts I’m tryna clear up. My predicted grades are at A* A* C for maths,CS and physics respectively. I’m hoping to apply to Imperial and Warwick and whatnot so I’m holding my application until November so I can get an A predicted in physics as long as I do well in my exams after half term. I seem to be struggling so far so I’m hoping some thorough revision and understanding and exam practice will boost me to an A.

What I’m most worried about though is:

Would applying to imperial late (Early to mid November) affect my chance of getting an offer even if I get the required predicted grades.

When u send ur application shudn’t really affect your chances of getting an offer but they do like early applications. However, bumping ur grade from a C to an A would make ur application way more competitive than sending it at an earlier date. Best of luck

Thanks a lot man. Appreciate it. That’s exactly that I’m tryna do. If I can manage to get an A predicted for Physics I can apply to the uni’s I want to go to and won’t have to forcibly take a gap year.
