Really honestly js asking if i’d make it to cambs/imperial or how competitive id be

\-in y12 rn (2027 entry)
\-EU national studying in the middle east (Cambridge international)
\-9999999987 at IGCSE (Edexcel and aqa)
\-probably will achieve AAAB (maybe AAAA if i lock in for physics) at AS level and then predicted A\*A\*AA or A\*A\*A\*A at A2 in maths bio chem phys (might take FM in y13)
\-rlly good supercurriculars and ECAs
\-applying for molecular bioengineering (no esat needed) and biotech (esat needed)

obviously i think i would need to aim for the highest ESAT possible, but what would be “good enough” given the rest of my stats? and would the high B, if i dont get my shit together before p3, at AS (in physics which isnt a requirement for either) affect my chances severely even if I can still get predicted an A at A2 level?

im an international student with a dutch passport living in the middle east and i am fluent in dutch and english. I am currently doing a levels and planning to apply to imperial biotech (english degree) and tu delft/leiden’s joint life sciences and technology (dutch degree) bachelors.

is it worth paying £45,000 per year for tuition at imperial for a BSc (i wont have to pay for housing tho cuz my brother’s apt is 20 mins away), or is it worth just coming to the netherlands and paying €2500 a year for more or less the same degree (i also wont have to pay for housing bc i have my family home here)?

It’s just imperial has defo always been where i wanted to go but idk if its worth the paying like 20x more the price bc in reality ig the only difference is prestige. I looked up the modules and courses, i love both of them equally so idrk how to evaluate it.

However imperial does offer a year abroad at leiden in 3rd year which i will most definitely do if i can, and vice versa, leiden/tu delft offer a semester abroad at imperial if im not wrong tho it might be more competitive.

Would appreciate help!

hi guys, im in y12 and currently doing my AS level exams and i wanna start preparing for ucas but im a bit torn between some imperial courses, so these are the courses im interested in:

-medical biosciences
-medical science and innovation (apparently new for 2027)
-biotechnology
-biomedical engineering
-molecular bioengineering

i will be applying to 3-4 of these courses for undergraduate because ill only go to the uk if i make it into cambridge/imperial (otherwise i stay in my home country and do a degree here) so theres no point in me applying for safeties.

i would appreciate if you guys could let me know what each degree is about (bc i did go search on the website and ask around but lowk reddit does wonders) and career scopes + experiences + anything that would be useful to consider when choosing between these degrees.

thank you!!
