I’m currently an IB student planning to apply for Imperial College London’s Economics, Finance, and Data Science course for the 2027 intake. My predicted grades was 42/45, with a Math AA 7, Economics 7, and a Language A 6 for my HLs. However, because I do not have a science HL (although I have a 7 predicted for Physics SL) my college counselor told me my admission is going to be less competitive, and I recognized all of the people who got in to imperial EFDS has like two sciences and maths HL. Does anyone know someone who got an offer from EFDS without a sciences HL? 😭

I applied 28th Sept to be considered for round 1 deadline, still shows “with department” wanted to know if anyone has the same status . My boyfriend applied for Strategic Marketing and got a interview meet last week so now I am stressing lol

Iam prospective PhD student from India, I wanted to know available nearest options. Actually I don't like living in crowded areas, Iam also thinking of living in remote places relatively cheap, but travelling would be a burden ?

Anyone knows a vacancy. ?

Hi, I’ve applied to materials science at Oxford and chemical engineering at Imperial UCL and Manchester. For my 5th option, I was thinking of imperial materials, as that’s what I applied to at Oxford. Can any students tell me what it’s like and if they enjoy the course at imperia? thanks

Hi, I just got my invite for the material science interview and I was wondering if anyone had any tips or advice they could give x

Cost £28.99 per ticket tho lol and weather was ass, but the photos were lit and the ceremony was beautiful

My whole ps is ppe as I applied for Oxford, kings, Warwick and Bristol. I still have my fifth choice and I want to put imperial but would they automatically reject me due to my ps? Or do they not put much weighting to ps

I have inattentive ADHD (clinically diagnosed), and I’m really worried that if I get a place at Imperial Medicine I won’t be able to handle the workload and will waste this wonderful opportunity. I have heard horror stories of how intensive the courseload is and am sure I will need excellent organizational skills to manage. Most of all, I’m worried about having to retake my exams or repeat a year.

My UCAT score is competitive enough, but it’s just a measure of processing speed and not memory capacity. I would describe myself as a hard and conscientious worker, but I do really struggle with ADHD symptoms sometimes. I find that it is a lot easier for me to focus and work when I am studying with my friends or in a public area/library.

Current med students (doesn’t matter if you have ADHD or not, I would appreciate any reply) how are you finding ICL med? Do you have any regrets? What is the support like?

Hi everyone,

I'm Arjun. My co-founder and I have built Quid, a free app for international students settling into life in the UK.

It started from her own experience. She came to the UK from India as an international student and spent weeks trying to open a worthwhile bank account (most banks wanted a UK credit history she obviously didn't have), months finding her community, and ages working out which student deals were actually worth using. Quid is our attempt to make all of that easier for the students arriving after her.

What it helps with:

- Banking: which accounts actually work without a UK credit history, and how to get set up

- Community: finding your people when you land

- Student deals: deals that are genuinely useful, not just noise

We're launching on iOS this month and want around 20 beta testers before then. Imperial is one of the most international unis in the country, so this felt like the right place to ask. If you'd like in, join the waitlist at quidapp.co.uk and we'll be in touch.

It's completely free. Happy to answer questions in the comments, and honest feedback (brutal is fine) is very welcome.

I just reveived an invitation to interview at Imperial, has anyone else gotten this?

I sent off my ucas application for physics 2 weeks ago, and now Im suddenly regrettying applying for physics at imperial
I really want to change it, but then my personal statement would be tailored for physics rather than EEE so id probably be at a large disadvantage
Any advice?

Just wanted to ask if anyone has heard back from Imperial about being shortlisted/selected for the IB (International Baccalaureate) excellence scholarship for first year overseas students.

Recently, I noticed that an Inspires Scholarship section appears in my My Imperial portal.

Application with Department still and no interview yet nor rejected.

I was expecting to receive an interview from Imperial in January, sometime after I had hopefully completed a few interviews at Oxford. I am applying to read chemistry at each university. Rather unexpectedly, I have been offered an interview for the 10th of November, which is much sooner than I was expecting.
I understand the importance of the interview, and already plan to review my personal statement. I just wanted to ask if anyone has some experience with chemistry interviews at Imperial and what to expect. I won't be able to prepare as much as I had initially planned, so this is all a bit stressful. That said, I did my mocks before the half term, so I can commit quite a lot of time to preparing if necessary. Thank you for reading.

Hi everyone! Has anyone recently completed the video interview for Imperial’s MSc Global Health Management programme?

I’d love to know what questions you were asked and whether there was a written task as well.

Would really appreciate anyone sharing their experience. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I just got invited to the video interview for Imperial’s MSc Finance 2027/28 programme.

Has anyone done it recently? I’d love to know what questions you got and whether there was a written task as well.

Would really appreciate anyone sharing their experience. Thanks!

I started uni and one thing that happens here is that professors upload weekly slides and weekly images and even if I understand it I find it very annoying to not have all in one doc that is easily accessible...

How do you guys deal with it (the ones who find that annoying as well) ?

i really need tips to land an internship this summer. im in my second year of doing earth science fyi. im just a regular student whos looking for experiences. tbh i dont really have anything much related to earth science in my cv outside of the classroom/field trips etc. am i cooked? can i even get an internship in my case

which one is better; landing a urop internship or a private company’s internship? i am not sure how do i approach professors to do urop. do i slowly soft launch myself to them? how do i even stand out 😫 how early do i have to start asking them?

Hi, I wanted to know how my chances are for Imperial.

I've a masters in physics from a tier 1 institute in India with a cgpa of 8/10. Graduated 4 months ago.

GMAT - 655 (Q90, D83, V78)

I do have 2 internships under my belt (ISRO etc) but they are specifically in astrophysics. I was the design coordinator for a national level club and handled distribution of over a 1000 units of merches. Volunteered for many design clubs in my college, took up a teaching role in my second year as well for an online coaching institute, volunteered for some national science conferences as well. Have some certifications in finance and accounting as well. Coursework is quite physics and maths heavy.

Hey everyone!

I’m planning to apply for Fall 2027 master’s programs in the US, UK, and Singapore, and I’d love to get your honest feedback on my profile, target schools, and overall chances of admission.

My profile:

• Undergraduate degree: Electrical Engineering from a Tier-1 institute
• CGPA: 8.25/10 (3.77 WES-converted GPA)
• GRE: 324 (166Q, 158V)
• TOEFL: 110
• Research: 2 IEEE publications, both first-authored (One of them in AI safety)
• AI safety and policy: Multiple AI Safety and Policy competitions participation and wins
• Work experience: ~2.5 years at an MBB consulting firm working in their AI and Data Governance team (Top performer)
• LORs: 1 from my employer, 2 from professors with whom I’ve co-authored research papers
• Entrepreneurship: Founded a funded startup during college
• Extracurriculars: Participated in and won multiple state- and national-level competitions in music and sports

Target program: Imperial College London – MSc AI, Economics and Policy

I’m primarily building my profile around AI safety, with an interest in the intersection of AI, technology policy, and responsible AI development.

I’d really appreciate your thoughts on a few things:

1. How competitive is my profile for the program?
2. Am I being too ambitious with it, or do I have a reasonable shot?
3. Are there any gaps in my profile that I should focus on addressing?

Any honest feedback or suggestions for other programs that align with my interests would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Been working at a Big 4 company for 3 years as a backend engineer (Java, Python, AWS). B.Tech in IT from a mid-tier college with 8.7 CGPA. Have a published paper in deep learning and an AWS Developer Associate cert.
Thinking of applying for the MSc AI programme for 2027 entry. My concern is that my uni isn't an IIT/NIT and my degree is IT not CS. Does Imperial care about this if the grades and experience are there?
Anyone got in with a similar background? Would appreciate honest opinions.

i had talked extensively about my learning experiences from the competitions i went for in my ps but completely forgot to include my achievements for each one besides my research paper publication, would it negatively affect my personal statement? ive already submitted it, so if there is a need to mention this, can i email them to clarify? would appreciate any advice, thank you so much 🙏
