Come on Imperial, give a bright young boy a chance


Majid Ahmed has four As at a level, is eighteen, from Bradford and has had his offer from Imperial to study medicine withdrawn. Back in 2005 when a 16 year old, Ahmed made a catastrophically stupid decision and gone done for burglary. He put this behind him, worked hard, got his 4 As and wants to be a Doctor. Imperial think he'll be a risk to patients. Not only do people need second chances in life, but those who've had harder lives than others need these chances more readily, especially when they've demonstrated ability, drive, and tenacity to succeed.

Please Imperial, re-instate Majid Ahmed. Let him come to London next October, study medicine, become a doctor and put himself in a position to help himself and others.
