Specifically, my PS will have some stuff about propulsion(a jet engine project and a chemistry/rocket propulsion book). I don't really want to apply aerospace, I would much rather apply to mechanical engineering. Will the admissions team mind?
I am hoping to be predicted A* maths, A*chem, hopefully A*phys, A further math
​
I want to apply to cambridge for either natural sciences(physical) or chemical engineering
​
I want to apply to imperial for either chemical engineering and materials science.
​
(I am also considering applying for a second time to imperial for chemistry, as a backup, but im unsure)
​
As I am an international student, ive calculated the tuition+rent+living costs to be 80k eur (70k gbp) per year at cambridge and 70k eur (60k gbp) at imperial
​
​
If i do not apply oxbridgeimp, i will apply to engineering(with late specialisation) at other UK universities.
For other UK universities(manchester, glasgow, warwick, etc, the total yearly cost is around 50-60k eur (40-50k gbp)
​
​
The salary estimations for oxbridgeimp seem to be inflated by the amount of students that go into finance or oil and gas. I am not interested in either.
​
Do you have any advice as to whether the higher salaries of any of those courses compensate for the extra cost incurred?
