Hi Adam,

I am a Chinese applicant to study land eco at Robinson and I have got an interview invitation with Dr E Silva on December 4th. Actually all the land economy interviews this year at Robinson should be scheduled before December, I asked them to put off my interview bacause I could not get my visa before
November 30th. Now I am really worried because now it seems I will be taking the horrible TSA test and interview with Dr E Silva all alone without meeting any other applicant . I really don't know what to expect at the interview and how I should prepare during the last couple of days. Obviously you are an expert and you know Dr E Silva pretty well now, can you help give me some advice. Thanks a lot, you will be a lifesaver

Hi!

I found you on the LE thread and saw that you'e both Swedish and a former IB student, just like me. If it's okey, I want to ask you some questions about life at Cambridge (I'm applying for HSPS there).

Where did you take the IB? Do you feel that it prepared you for Cambridge? And what's it like being a Swede there?

Don't know why I wrote in English, haha.

I'm preparing for my interview now, including everything Maths,Econ,Environment etc...Kinda get lost now,which aspect of the course do you recommend me to prepare more? Also, I read that you said Clare is a bad choice for Land Econ interview, how about St John's? I know it's famous for its awful reputation...but how about the professor Dr. Baum?? Please tell me more about St John's students in the same year in your department, are they nice?intellectually genius? (I'm also Chinese, English writting isn't perfect,will that be a huge disadvantage of my application?) Thanks a lot!

Hi Saelie are you online now? I am a student who is applying to Land Economy in St John's this year. I read your posts and you're in Robinson now?? WOW, one of my friend, Luting Chen,the Chinese girl also just started Land Economy in Robinson! Such a coincidence!

Hey thankss !
So you also have a conditional offer ? Congratulations and yeah hopefully next year !! Where else have you applied if you don't mind me asking ?
