Geography Applicants for Entry 2011!

same! Which college?

I'm reading all the stuff i have supposedly read and getting to grips with the stuff i wrote on my personal statement and my SAQ. I am also thinking about how i am going to answer the obvious questions like "why geog" and "why here" etc and what i think of the course lalala

I am doing a sort of mock interview, but i am the first person to get an interview for geography at cambridge from my school, so it won't be all that accurate, but maybe just make me a little less nervous! What about you guys? but yh i agree it is very difficult to predict but i def think that current issues will be talked about

Trinity Hall you??

hmm i hadn't actually thought about Haiti...i've been expecting more standard topics like climate change, sustainability, etc....
What was the article they sent you on?

Hi - glad to meet some more Geography geeks!!!

interview at Queen Mary tomorrow!!

Ahh to everyone who's applied to Durham for Geography, which colleges did you choose and have you got confirmation yet?

I applied BSc and got my offer a few weeks ago followed by confirmation from St Aidan's!

The AES went pretty smoothly for me so that's a bit odd

Hmm do you think so? Well I didntt think Lancaster's course in general had many options to choose from but the course seemed interesting. Anyway this is where I think about whether Ive made the right decision or not for ages! I love sport and L'boro is brilliant for that and nearer to home Arghh! I hate UCAS!
And did you think the lecturers seemed good?

Hey, I'm applying to Girton this year, but last year I applied to trinity hall for geog, and got pooled then rejected. Who do u have interviewing u? One of your interviews will be almost completely non geographical, in my second one I got asked about my other 2 subjects at a level, history and biology. For my first interview I talked mostly about one of the essays I had sent, nd a book I had mentioned in my personal statement. My best advice for you is to rea around you PS nd anything that can relate to it!

Hey, I've got mine next Wednesday (8th) what sort of stuff did they ask?

I applied to Josephine Butler but i'm regretting it now. It's my third choice though so hopefully it shouldn't matter too much. how about you?

Hi, I've applied for Geography at:
Cambridge, St Cats - interview on the 13th
Bristol
KCL
Nottingham - ABB
Durham - rejected, not sure why as they didn't give any useful feedback

Grades at as:
Geography - A
Maths - A
Physics - A
Economics - A
General Studies - A

No idea what my predicted grades are though!

I'm in exactly the same position, down to the interview date at St Catz. I also got rejected from Durham and with no useful feedback. I've got offers from Southampton & Nottingham both AAB I haven't heard from Bristol, my 8 weeks from acknowledgement will be wednesday, and I haven't had one of those emails saying they might take their time, but I'm fearing a rejection as apparently they do for the same reason as Durham - private school, think you're applying to cambridge etc. I got 4 A's at AS and I'm predicted 3 A*s but it really doesn't feel like the replies and offers i'm getting are reflecting that at all But they're saying this year you're lucky to get an offer anywhere, so I guess it's about sitting tight and praying Who are your interviewers at Catz?
