    Class of 11 dropping in to say hi! Looks like a lot of all-nighters and caffeine which brings back (not-so) good memories. And yet, everything seems different - I don't recognise lecture halls, and the food looks way to good to be from the imperial cafe. Keep up the RUclips channel!

    Why does Imperial call it computing and not computer science? I feel like the name just throws it off.

  • @varunnayak5369

    Hi Alex! Really nice video. I applied this year to study CS at Imperial so who knows? We might meet (if I get the offer that is).
    I have a few questions about the Imperial Computer Science interview. I know it might have been a while ago but any help at this point would be extremely helpful.
    During the interview, will they ask you to build a program using a programming language that you have mentioned in your personal statement? I have mentioned several in my statement (Python and some modules I learnt in the language, Java and C) and so I would need to learn a lot of content if I am to nail this.
    What were the programming questions like in your interview?
    Furthermore, several people in other forums have said that the questions they ask are similar to the Oxbridge interview questions but slightly easier. What would you say that they are similar to?
    Also, what sort of Maths is asked in this interview?
    Will I be required to brush up on my A level Maths and Further Maths content?

    Hey man, really cool vids.
    I'm also wishing to get into Imperial College. You are probably so happy you got in :)
    Well done!
    I have a couple of questions if you don't mind: what course are you doing? and did you need further maths for that?

    • @AlexLiu1
      @AlexLiu1  2 года назад +4

      @@Mike-vj8do It's just computing, the something in brackets doesnt have an effect on your first 2 years of computing. Every computing student does the same thing in year 1 and 2, in 3rd and 4th year everyone has to chose from the same pool of modules, but you may have to take Machine Learning for example if you are on the Computing (Machine learning) course

    Hi Alex! Just subscribed and I'm loving the content :) Am I at any disadvantage since I did not take Further Maths A level, and would this impact my application? (I'm in Y12 at the moment.) I also plan to take a gap year, so would it be worth touching on any topics that would solidify my knowledge before I began the course? Thank you !

    • @AlexLiu1
      @AlexLiu1  2 года назад +3

      Hey! I don’t think it impacts your application that much, I wouldn’t worry about studying new stuff over your gap year just make sure your fundamental A level knowledge is still there :)

    Your video was really insightful, and I’m working towards getting here. Unfortunately my school didn’t offer further maths but I am in year 12 studying Maths, Physics, Economics and Chemistry. Do you know what i’ll have to do to get in, in terms of maths or if I even have a chance? Also, are there any people you know who were in similar situations to me? Thanks!

      I wouldn't worry about not having further maths since your school didn't offer it. You'll definitely need to get an A* in Maths and maybe take STEP 1 and/or 2. Arjan's answer is very accurate!

    Hey buddy Hi... I got some queries for you. Have been following your videos am a great fan. I would love to join ICL for my computer science program. I'm Luka from Kenya.
    Is there a specialization in software development. I can see that you are really interested in developing financial and fintech stuffs, i got my interest rooted in forensic science and semiconductor technology....
    How do you strike a balance between your social life and academics. I can feel like CS is so demanding....work, coffee breaks, assignments, projects and internships?
    I love discrete mathematics and C++ as a language being that I attended college units for 3 years as an IT student after my high school though I didn't graduate. Do you think without A levels but with my experience and skillsets I may have a place at ICL in as much as acceptance ratio of 20:1 is really crazy and daunting
