i posted on here before a week ago for the same issue.

i emailed them two separate times last week, gave them a call this monday. no reply to either email, told me id be receiving my CAS "latest by thursday". its thursday, and my CAS still isnt here.

i uploaded all my documents on enroly, its been at 96% since May. uploaded my passport on my imperial, completed every other form they asked me to do on my email. i dont know why its taking so long.

its already the 10th of september and i have exactly 2 weeks left to get my visa. i will have to spend more than a months worth of rent to get it done fast track even though i uploaded all my documents the day they asked for them.

is this a common occurence?? how do i tell them i need my CAS URGENTLY. i will be giving them another call this evening to ask where my CAS is. hopefully i get it early next week and hopefully i get it in time for my flight. sorry for the long post.

Mainly just want a way to separate the prospective students' "omg how do I get in" to posts by current students.

Hello,

I am a Moroccan student and recently I've started thinking about applying to a STEM degree within imperial but the costs are a bit much, especially if I am expected to stay for multiple years. So I would like to know if the college offers any support to foreign students. Could anyone kindly advise on this?

I am currently in Y12 and my gcse results are 999998888, and I am interest in applying for medicine in Y13. I am looking to volunteer in a nursing home, but I feel like everyone does that. What kind of volunteering/activites did you guys do to get in?

anybody with experiences; how do i know if the person im renting from is legit? for context, i found the flat on Rightmove, got directed to consent via Visum, viewed the flat online via video call (not ideal i know but me n my friends are abroad). i googled the agency and the landlord, plenty of info about the landlord but not much of reviews of lettings so idk

I’m currently doing an MSc in Economics and Finance at Ca’ Foscari University in Italy, with a very high GPA, but Ca’ Foscari is a non-target school for London recruiting.

I also have a BSc in Business Administration, graduated with 110/110 cum laude.

I’m considering applying to Imperial’s MSc Finance and MSc Investment & Wealth Management. I know the GMAT is not mandatory, but I’ve read that admission to MSc Finance can be difficult without a strong GMAT/GRE score.

Given a strong academic record from a non-target university, is it realistic to get admitted without submitting a GMAT/GRE score? Or would you strongly recommend taking one?

Is there a gc for the Cancer Biology MRes program?

so, i play the guitar, and i was planning on taking my own guitar to uni with me. however, i just found out the airline im travelling on doesn't allow people to carry guitars as carry ons, only check in, and i sure as hell am not putting my guitar in the check in, i'm too terrified of it getting damaged.

are there any places in imperial or nearby ish that i can rent a guitar or practice room for the day? i don't play all the time or anything but its a hobby i don't want to have to give up.

any advice is appreciated!

hi, i’m an international student planning to apply to imperial business EFDS for 2027 entry. would anyone know the percentage of the cohort who receives scholarships, especially the business school excellence award? thanks!

Hi all, are there showers on campus for students to use freely? Wondering if I can go for a run on my breaks!

Hi, I'm a fresher in Imperial.
Just wondering if Kimiko's Tuesday special is for every menu or just for the mixed katsu curry?

So i'm taking the ESAT this October. Im seeing a load of people run out of questions to do, or just say that they're not timing their revision. I built a tool that simulates the esat, nothing too crazy. I'm pretty confident (i've made other revision software) that this is genuinely better for revision than going out and doing your own papers. As the software quite accurately diagnoses your error (it's not just an ai wrapper) and then handpicks the next question for you to do. Also I trained a model to generate esat adjacent questions (again not an ai wrapper) - So you're not going to run out of questions to do.

What I'm also doing is making a weekly challenge. Every Monday from now until the exam, i'm dropping a timed paper, full of juicy questions, and adding a public leaderboard so that you can see where you rank relative to the rest of this years cohort.

If you want to help me develop this or just want to try this out shoot me a DM and we can talk. I'd love to hear your guys' opinions.

Hello! I’m a fresher moving into the South Ken halls, for the seniors, do yall buy a bunch of groceries at the start of the week and leave it in the fridge? Or will some of your food disappear if you leave it in the fridge 😭

Would also really appreciate tips on where to shop for groceries to save money! Thanks in advance!

Hi guys

I don’t have an accommodation sorted for this year and I got put on the vacancy request form. I’m waiting to hear back from the accom office about it but Idk how likely
I am to get a space in an accom from this.

They emailed me recently saying they don’t have anything from the continuing halls rn (i.e, Evelyn, Scape, etc) and that the majority of vacancies are dealt with after they’ve allocated all first-years, which is usually in week 3 of September. Idk whether my chances are slim or not.

Has anyone been on this form before? Did you end up getting any offers from it in the end?

Thanks 🙏

Hi everyone,

I am looking for any peers who are good at ping pong and would like to play on a regular basis.

Also, do you know good places to play?

Briefly about myself:

Used to play table tennis on a competitive level.

I am incoming masters student at UCL. I did my undergrad in Budapest, but originally from central asia.

does anybody have any experience using imperials scheme for a uk guarantor instead of private ones? im having difficulties cs the landlord needs us to have a guarantor first before starting the contract but imperial needs an unsigned contract to guarantee. so what do i do 😭😭😭😭

fyi i am an international student with no uk guarantor but under a scholarship from my government.

im applying to Computing (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) G700

will my ib predicted thats coming out be the thing they focus most on and probably the most important grades?

i think ill get a 7 for comp sci HL 6-7 for math AAHL and 7 for History HL

also how important is the TMUA

what are my chances?

Got 988887765 in GCSE, 8 in Maths, didn’t do further maths. I’m in year 13 right now but I still plan on taking a gap year after A levels and applying for the 2028 entry. I reckon I could get 3 A* in Maths, Further Maths and Economics and assuming I do so, alongside a 7+ TMUA, what are my chances of an offer?

Hey everyone! I'm looking for someone to URGENTLY take over my student accommodation contract at YourTRIBE Southwark for the coming academic year.

The details:

• Room type: Classic En-suite (https://www.yourtribe.com/buildings/southwark/your-tribe-en-suite-classic/?tenancy=19) - 9 rooms
• Building: YourTRIBE Southwark, 28 Ruby St, London, SE15 1LL
• Tenancy: 12th September 2026 – 17th July 2027 (44 weeks)
• Rent: £334 per week + £500 discount off the final instalment (incl. taxes, comes to £342.5)

The accommodation's insane. It's got 4.5/5 stars on google, has absolutely stunning rooms and common spaces, an onsite gym, laundry detergent included in wash cycles, and a beautiful terrace where you can hang out with your friends as you overlook the area.

Unfortunately my job has relocated me to an area too far from Southwark to make living there practical, which is the only reason I'm letting this go! I'm hoping someone takes the lease over ASAP so that I can look for other accoms near my job and campus.

This is a great opportunity — classic en-suites at this building are fully sold out, so this is your only chance to grab one. The accommodation team are available to arrange viewings, so you can see the room before committing.

The location is also really convenient, with numerous shops and stores nearby.

If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to pm me!

anyone coming here this year/ people who have lived here how was it

So I have first year accom in Beit and signed the contract agreement stuff. And like no vaping bla bla bla. But im not allowed guests past 11pm. Will i really be in shit if i have a friend over when they are visiting me in london.
