Super informative - need more people like you. Thanks for sharing your experience and keep up the hard work!!
Thanks for the support Daniel! Really appreciate it :))
Rock on!!! so proud of you.
Thanks so much Ethan for sharing! It really helps!
Oranh indonesia yaa
thanks this was really reassuring!
Love the imperial's focus on academics, I have been here for probably two months, this is much better than my previous university. I am very substantial every day.
Lol what does that even mean mate
@@jermainej1746 think he’s saying that he likes the academic focus and that helps him be more productive. Probably a foreign student lol
Great video! :) Looking forward to more!
Thank you!!
Have to be honest, some courses at Imperial are harder, especially at the Masters level. MSc CS or Maths at Imperial takes over your life.
Awesome content! Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
!
Xephrozia thank you so much!
@@theethanexperience6097 Honestly don't know how you dont have more subs! I am doing a series on my channel which could maybe give you the boost you need to reach 1k subs in the future! Just head over to my channel and watch my latest video. I look forward to seeing you!
Good words, thank you.
I’m going to study Chemistry in imperial in a month, thanks for the video!
Thanks for your sharing 💪 very informative
Thank you :)

I know the hustling and struggling when getting from scratch!! Keep up the great work, my friend!! !! Looking forward to your growth and more great uploads on UA-cam in 2020 and beyond!! Have a nice day!! 😀🌟⭐️✨💕❤️👍👍👍👍👍
cheers mate! appreciate the support!
Thank you for your video! I am in the midst of deciding between UCL or Imperial to do my Masters? But I am in two minds, I am currently a UCL student and thinking it would be best to stay or have a university change for my master's. Do you have any advice?
I want to go to imperial now... SOUTHSIDE!!!
Yesh Chandiramani thank you!
Here is my experience being friends with ethan for the last 6 years.
Imperial college, Britain's MIT.
But with good theoretical physics and pure math programs
Cambridge >>>
What is MIT?
It is hard but very rewarding. If you want to do it you will. :)
Facts
Thank you!! I’m hoping to apply this year
Hope you get in!!
@@theethanexperience6097 I got an offer! Hopefully I get the grades
Thank you for making this!! I really need to watch this. I will be starting at Imperial this October studying Chemistry. A random question. Do you hang your wet clothes in your room? I am an international student so I am unsure how washing & drying works
Hey! Im glad this helps. I hung my clothes in my room because they shrink in the dryer. However, most people just use the dryer. I use a drying rack i bought on amazon. Lmk if u have any other questions! Or you can DM me on insta
HEy Jasmine, i don't recommend you do this because my encik in the army warned me that i would get pneumonia. Cheers :) Its definitely better to use a dryer
Hey I'm gonna be starting Chemistry as a 1st year next month, very excited! Just wanted to ask, how much and what kind of physics do you learn in the course? Also, which ancillary module did you take and how did you find it in comparison to the core modules?
I didn't really need any physics to be honest. I have only taken the basic physics course in high school and I was fine. The only thing you need is probably wavelength and frequency equation which will be used heavily in spectroscopy.
I took medicinal chemistry instead of maths and physics. Medicinal chem was my worst module, I really didn't enjoy the content. I would recommend doing something else in the horizon course for your ancillary, such as language, business or philosophy. However, if you're interested in the ancillary chemistry modules then you should try them!
I'm glad you're excited about joining Imperial chemistry :) if you ever run into any problems feel free to reach out.
@@theethanexperience6097 Thanks v much. I don't really know much about either of the chemistry ancillaries atm but the horizons do look pretty interesting. what made you dislike the med chem option? Also what was the general impression surrounding the maths and physics option regarding the teaching and content?
It wasn’t very interesting, a lot of bio and i think it would have been better to take an easier course to reduce my workload. A lot of ppl who took M&P have taken physics and maths A levels so i think it was generally fine. Didn’t hear much complaint, the grade distribution was a lot better than med chem.
I have an offer to study mechanical engineering but I'm not sure if I should accept it as I don't know enough about what it's like to live in London as a student. Could you tell me what students do on weekends ect...? Can students afford the pubs and clubs?
Hi, I'm going to be studying chemistry at Imperial too this October, and was wondering if you had any tips, and also how intense the workload is compared to A Levels?
Hey Adam! Congrats man! Well my tips are definitely try to meet new ppl and just have fun. However, you still need to find time to study. I did the American highschool system which is easier than A levels and i spent about 3-5 hrs a day studying the first term. If you did A levels you’ll definitely be fine. You’ll get an average of 2-4 hrs of lecture a day so be prepared to spend an extra 30-60 min to absorb your materials.
Thank you both for the replies & the advice!
@@adamcurry824 what grades did you get and what in>?
Plan to pursue my master degree in entrepreneurship at Imperial, but I'm afraid to become a small fish in the big pool :(
Thanks very informative!
Two questions:
1. Do you guys get to interact with other students from M.Sc or MBA
2 what's the cost of internet there?
Umm not in the course but you do get to meet MSc and MBA students in societies and clubs. Cost of internet is free, if ur asking about sim card then it depends. I recommend THREE they offer unlimited DATA
Hey. Hey
I know you just pause but not stop.
Watching from Thailand.
Hey I am planning on applying to imperial for my Msc, any tips and advices for my interview and in general
Hey I think for your interview just relax and if you’re applying masters and continuing on what you’ve been learning in undergraduate then I think you’ll be fine.
Just be prepared to be asked some questions and try to work them out to the best of your ability. Some questions you’re not supposed to get right but they wanna see your process of solving the questions!
Hope this helps!
I want join in imperial for my second masters degree in human genetics. Guys if you’ve any suggestions for me on choosing between UCL, Kings college and Imperial.
Ethan, when you applied you gotta to send them all the documents?
Yes
Hey, thanks for this video. I am from latinamerica and i really don't know what means A-levels. I am still in high school, i graduate of school next year and i want to apply to Imperial, un Chemistry degree. I search and there are like two types somenthing like Bsc? And MsC? (Sorry If write it wrong, My English is not good). It will very helpful for me if You reaply this message. I have more questions anyway... Also, which type of grades i need to apply? The stuff of A-levels. I am thinking on traveling to UK mostly for July,to search that university and other one which is the UEA thats on Norwich, maybe You can tell me anything else i can do when i arrive there. Thanks a lot for reading this and sorry If it's too much (I am 16, on July also i will be 17)
So you will be applying to BSc which is a bachelor degree when you apply after highschool. You need to check what grades your school is using and if imperial accepts that grade. I don’t know what grading system you’re doing right now so I can’t answer that. Traveling will be harder right now due to covid but I would suggest just walk around the schools that you are interested in.
In addition, there are english exams that you’ll have to take like IELTS and TOEFL to get in, so you might want to study English as well before you apply. An adequate english level is crucial to your studies in university.
A-Levels are the exams taken by most 18-year-olds in the U.K. before they finish high school. They determine whether you get into certain universities or not. Most people taken 3 subjects whilst some do 4 and they are measured using the grading system A*-U (A* being the highest grade you can achieve)
Imperial is the next best thing to Cambridge
Prospective student here. Why did you not join any clubs and societies? Did they not interest you or did you not have time because of your studies?
Hey Charlotte, thanks for asking! I actually play a lot of tennis but i had a surgery on my wrist last year so i wasn’t able to play. Last year i didn’t really find anything that interested me and also i didn’t feel like the societies were worth the time. However, next year i do want to join some clubs that do volunteer work.
Here’s the link for the ICL societies www.imperialcollegeunion.org/activities/a-to-z I hope this helps! :)
Thank you for your response :) Truthfully I’m really nervous about going to imperial, none of the students I’ve reached out to have responded to me. I’m not the smartest person it can take me a while to grasp something, I don’t want to sacrifice my happiness for the imperial name. I’m not doing chemistry but civil engineering. Also you said in the video that you would show an example of your timetable but I didn’t see this. I would be really grateful if I could see please.😊
Hey dw you’ll be fine. Like i said if you’ve gotten in you should be able to complete this journey. Ik things seem daunting but you shouldn’t worry about something that hasnt even happened yet. A lot of happiness comes from within, you’re bigger than your environment :). Do you mind DMing me on insta so i can send u my timetable? Sorry about that, i forgot to put it in the video.
Charlotte H I’ll be doing civil eng too! Maybe I’ll see you there
but is it worth 40k pounds per year？
How seriously does Imperial take extenuating circumstances? For my predicted grades, I'm one grade off the minimum requirement for electrical engineering, but I had mental health issues in year 12 which meant I didn't do as well as I hoped. Does Imperial care about extenuating circumstances at all? Could I still potentially get an interview, give that the course isn't that competitive and the rest of my application is good? Thanks!
Hey Rodin,
Im sorry to hear that you had mental health issues that you had to deal with which resulted in a score you didn’t want.
Unfortunately, Im afraid this isn’t a question I can answer for you. Only admission will know and I believe you will have to email imperial yourself. However, If you have mental health issues you might be able to apply with disabilities, which will put you in a different category when applying? Im not 100% sure.
I hope this helps and good luck with the rest of your application!!
I like that Imperial cares the most about academics, universities should care about academics than student health 👌🏻 that is the way it is, otherwise it will be a mess
It was really helpful, but as an Arab did u guys face any racism?
Hey. I would say I have not really experienced any racism here besides only one occasion but that wasn’t even racism exactly..hard to explain. However, in general London and Imperial is super diverse. People are generally very open minded!!
@@theethanexperience6097 thank uu , i have to say im a bit relieved
Imperial is very dead this year unfortunately- 1st year medic
It’ll get better! Join more clubs and societies!
