    It just means you want the best to happen but have plans if the worst happens so you dont just crumble!
    My Dad is thinking 'when I go to Cambridge' but I am definitely not
    I don't know where I will be this time next year, I will just do the best I can in the A levels to keep my options open
    I am only applying for Vet Med... I am applying to University College Dublin as well.. But I am going to use 1 of 20 options. My dean is going MENTAL! I missed 3 days for the BMAT because I had a total freak out, and going into school would have just made me worse!

    I am scared to tell him that I have to go to England for three days (no other flights) during exams. I was talking to all of my teachers and they said that it is Cambridge and I should do whatever I can to get in... He is just going to say, like he has before, I don't care about UCAS! He just wants me to do well in the Leaving Cert (a levels), which is pointless if I don't have a course. I am kind of wishing that I looked into the CSAS a bit more, but there is no way that I would have qualified .

    Have you heard anything yet?

    No, just two maths interviews. You'll probably get asked a few general questions first to settle you down, but then it'll be straight into maths.

    Hi everyone, I'm a bit concerned about my Cambridge application.

    I've applied for a course at Churchill College. So far they've only contacted me asking for some essays, which I sent off (and received acknowledgement). Considering the fact that interviews are in early december, has anyone received an interview from Churchill yet?

    As I currently live overseas I will naturally need to book a flight for an interview and am a bit concerned that they haven't responded yet. They said not to contact them unless I haven't heard from them by the 6th Dec.

    Sorry if this has been answered in the previous thread. It was rather large and I didn't want to trek through it.

    Cheers.

    I feel ashamed for adding my own queries to this ball of freneticism, but, has anyone heard back about accommodation yet?
