The request

For undergraduate admissions cycles 2022, 2023 and 2024, for applicants who presented Advanced Placement (AP) examinations (typically alongside a US High School Diploma), I would be grateful if you could provide data held on offer-holders by course, such as:

1. The number of applicants who presented AP examinations – in the past we have not provided qualification data on applicant declared qualifications as we have not verified these
2. The number of offers made to such applicants; - we could provide data on the number of AP offers made each cycle as this data has been extracted historically and so would only require analysis
3. The average (mean) number of AP subjects held by applicants who received offers;- this is not something that we could provide as we do not provide data on applicant declared qualifications
4. The average (mean) AP grade among applicants who received offers. - this is not something that we could provide as we do not provide data on applicant declared qualifications

Imperial's response, IMPFOI-26-048

The request

From August 2025, you will introduce a reconsideration pool. I would like to request the following information:

i) How unsuccessful applicants are ranked or shortlisted for August reconsideration for the A100 course.

ii) Whether A100 applicants would have needed to be successful in receiving an interview offer to be reconsidered.

iii) If and how the UCAT factors into the selection process for reconsideration.

Imperial's response, IMPFOI-24-561, 29 November 2024

i) Reconsideration places for the MBBS course are subject to availability of seats. A limited number of offer holders who narrowly missed their grades may be reconsidered upon results day. In order to be eligible for Reconsideration, Offer Holders must still achieve Imperial's minimum requirements (AAA with Bio/Chem).

ii) Yes, the Reconsideration process at Imperial's School of Medicine applies to applicants who have received an offer after interview and narrowly missed their grades. 

iii) If reconsideration seats are available, UCAT scores and interview scores may be used to rank eligible applicants.

From the 2022-23 academic year, the fees for continuing undergraduate ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ paying the non-Home rate of fee will increase annually by an amount up to the average percentage change in the CPI from the April of the preceding year to the March of the calendar year in which the session commences, this includes ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ returning from an interruption of studies.  Due to the exceptional inflationary pressure currently being faced by the United Kingdom, the University has reduced the maximum inflationary increase for 2023-24 from 10.0% to 8.0% rounded to the nearest £50.00.  Continuing student fees are also capped at the new-entrant fee for that session and so may increase by less than the maximum amount.

I’ve read on the website that a widening participation student who meets the minimum contextualised MAT score is guaranteed an offer of at least A*A*A for the course BSc Mathematics. I’d like to request the minimum contextualised MAT score for the past 5 years.

Imperial's response, IMPFOI-23-450

The contextualised offer scheme has not been in place for the past five years. The department does not hold the specific information that you have requested and has stressed that other factors are taken into account, not just the MAT score, but they are able to provide the following information (WP stands for widening participation):

2022/23 - contextualised MAT scores for WP candidates who still received an offer went to thirties
2021/22 - contextualised MAT scores for WP candidates who still received an offer went to mid-forties
2020/21 - contextualised MAT scores for WP candidates who still received an offer went to thirties

The request

I would like the detailed criteria that Imperial uses in selecting candidates for Chemistry (F100), including but not limited to the weighting applied to:

• ‘A’ Level results;
• Personal statement;
• Interview; and
• Any other criteria used in the decision-making process.

Imperial's response, IMPFOI-23-185, 24 April 2023

There are no fixed weightings on criteria used as part of the post-interview, offer-making decision process for the BSc Chemistry (F100) programme, nor for any programme.

These criteria include the UCAS application form (including personal statement and reference), predicted/achieved grades, interview feedback and contextual/additional information. Of these criteria, interview feedback is the major consideration, contributing at least 50% towards the final decision.

The department assesses each application on an individual, case-by-case basis, considering all information available, to give an holistic overview for each applicant and maintain a fair, consistent and inclusive process for all applicants. They examine in detail:

• Interview Feedback – which assesses motivation for chemistry, communication of chemistry, engagement in discussion, chemistry knowledge (accounting for different
  qualifications/curricula), and ability to apply their knowledge and to use information (both known and new) in problem-solving, within both familiar and unfamiliar/unseen topics.
• Qualifications, combination of subjects taken, and achieved/predicted grades
• Personal statement – especially evidence for enthusiasm/motivation for Chemistry and for their chosen course(s)
• Reference – evidence for academic achievements, merit and potential.
• Contextual or mitigating factors – includes Widening Participation criteria and other
  contextual data plus additional information declared in the application (including in
  reference) or sent separately to the application, regarding applicant background and
  mitigating circumstances (e.g. health and mental health, family issues, financial issues, educational disruption and significant disadvantage). The department also accounts for any significant stress or nerves that may have been experienced by an applicant at interview.

Offer decisions are also informed by the level of competition within a given application cycle, and the number of places available. There are no specific quotas for each degree programme.
