hey dude, have you submitted the exercise back? have they made a decision?

I'm about to finish mine off :tongue:

just need to finish numbers 2 and 5 and then done!

Yup I submitted it last Sunday and got a reply from them on Monday saying that they will inform me of their final decision within a month. :smile:

Good luck to you.

could you do every single question on your own? not gonna ask you for answers don't worry, just wanna see if it's actually easy to other people because I find number 4 difficult and 2 troublesome although I have an idea.

and, ONE MONTH??? :eek:

thank you!! good luck to you too :smile:

No. 4 required some logical thinking but No.2 (the graph) was fairly easy. I mean it's just a graph. :confused:

Maybe you have a different exercise?

I probably spent the largest amount of time on 4.

Overall, I honestly think that it is almost impossible to finish it on your own in just the 35 minutes (the suggested time). I definitely took a lottttttt more than that.

But don't worry too much. Just put your head to it and you'll get it. :thumb:

Oh and yeah, a month is indeed a lot of time. But I think I'll probably get their reply within the next 2 or so weeks. (Much earlier than the Jan 15 deadline they listed).

I think if you're a insurance for ICL, then you're not guaranteed anything.

Btw, has anyone got anything for Biochem at ICL yet? Still waiting....

Bump ^

I have got replies from everywhere (Oxon, UCL, KCL and Warwick).
Still nothing from ICL.

Any ideas anyone?

I was looking at last years thread and apparently the department for biochem and biotech are very random when they pick up a set of forms to assess. people who applied in september didnt hear until january while some people who applied in november heard back in december but i reckon your likely to hear back before mid december before the uni closes if you've had your application in early.

ahaha I know it's just graphing, not my favourite since we don't go much into this in IB (not sure about A levels). I have an idea of what it looks like, but the working is just troublesome. I'm always lazy when the working is a bit long :P

logical thinking for qn 4? hmmm... how long is your working though? all I can think about is sigma notation or telescoping, ughhh

lol idk how much time I took, I only did it in my spare time. not more than 1 hour I don't think, but idk if it's more or less than the proposed time.

oh lol good luck!! if you get an offer, will you firm Imperial?

No I just scanned my answer sheets and sent them through e-mail. :smile:

Whether or not I'll firm Imperial depends on where else I get an offer from. :wink:

What about you? Which other universities have you applied to?

Have applied to just Cambridge and Imperial in the UK.

Will be applying to MIT, CalTech, Stanford and possibly a couple of others in the US.

First choice should be MIT though (or possibly Cambridge??? :confused:

)

LOL.

I may apply to one or two more as a backup.

I had my Cambridge Interview just a few days ago (on Wednesday) and I think it went really well...but then again, Cambridge is not very predictable. :s-smilie:

I'll just have to wait for January.

Are you applying to HKU? A friend of mine is applying there.
