Applying to and going to Imperial is a dream come true for many ambitious students worldwide. As an alumnus and someone who successfully got an offer at Imperial, here’s my step-by-step guide to smoothly navigating the application process.
Step 1: Choose your course wisely – personal match matters more than acceptance rate
First and foremost, selecting the right subject and course lays the foundation for a strong application. Imperial is transparent and releases acceptance rates for each course every year. While you can refer to this data in your decision-making process, I’d advise you not to fixate on it.
