Hello there,
do u know how to access the MEI website (Integral Maths) because our teachers dont give out the access information for that website (since they want to set HW from it). But I want to be able to access it to practise my maths over the weekend. If you have access info, pls can you help me in some way?
thanks

Thanks!
I was undecided between St Catz and Trinity Hall
I've been to St Catz and loved it, but I was a bit concerned about the lack of open space
Thanks for the info. I love how cambridge emphasises the science behind medicine. I guess people might argue that we'll gain an insufficient amount of clinical skills during years 1-3, but I would rather have a strong scientific exposure and extend my knowledge before entering clinical practice which made cambridge the perfect place to study. (they also offer a PhD program alongside the clinical for those wanting to enter research which sounds brilliant).
The University accentuated that prospective applicants should be reading outside the AS/2 curriculum
The book "life at extremes" was an enjoyable read so was "the man who mistook his wife for a hat" (all about neroscience). I thought these books were just brilliant but there are millions of scientific books and articles on the market...
What I also would advise is to undertake research projects, publish papers etc. EPQ can be a way of demonstrating research and independance.example, carrying out an extended report on the advantages nanotechnology has on the patients prognosis.. something along those lines rather than "The changing face of the NHS" which I would encourage you to research, but wouldn't really benefit you in your cambrige interview will mainly be focused on science
I'm telling you all this as I've noticed that many unsuccessul cambridge applicants in my school all had amazing UMS's and academics but didn't show this extra reading and enthusiasm, (95+), but I vividely rememeber an applicant who got a B in AS chemistry (79 UMS) but did a lot of reading, published papers and did some research with a university hospital. He applied to cauis and received an offer :O . So research and demonstrating academic curiousity is the key alongisde your UMS/ BMAT.

I wish you all the best with your application and I'll hopefully see you next october!
