Cambridge further education summer school 2012

There probibaly is already a thread about this but I couldn't find one so here it goes. A long story made short, I applied to the sutton trust summer school to do chemistry and got a letter saying that I wasn't really suitable to go (as one of my parents went to uni and Leyland isn't really classed as deprived). It then said that they however would like me to come to the fe summer school to do the same subject.

My question is, does that mean I'll be doing bio or physical sciences there (as I would like to eventually do chemical engineering for a degree) ?

BTW, who else has been accepted to it ?

I think I'll be doing biological, but I'm going to email them to see if I can do physical.
I'm doing Biological, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to go as I have something medicine related (Yah I one of those) and I will have to check the dates don't collide. if they do then i will be doing the medicine related thing instead.

I just emailed thepersob saying whether I could do Physical rather than Biological sciences and they emailed back saying it is fine. I'm sure if you just emailed them to ask to do what you want then they'll probibally arrange it for you to do that subject :wink:

Late april, but that was the letter for the sutton trust saying I can go on this. If you applied dircetly to the FE summer school then I recon that letters have not been sent yet as they changed my course very easily when I asked, so I recon that people have not been set to courses yet. Although saying that it is still probibally best to just email them :wink:

Might see you on the way there :smile:
So is anyone else going on this? It's getting quite close now and I haven't had my train tickets through :smile:

I'm staying at Newnham college, which is funny because it's an all girls college and I'm not a girl :teehee:
