people applying to Catz, have you heard from Catz yet and is there anyone out there who hasn't heard from them yet? -
Re: The Official Cambridge Applicants' 2011 Entry Thread MKIIA friend of mine got an interview quite a while ago, although he might've gotten it that early because his is on the first already? He's a non-UK applicant, maybe that makes a difference as well.(Original post by THEALB10N)
Is anyone else applying at Churchill? Do you know if they've started handing out interview dates yet? -

Re: The Official Cambridge Applicants' 2011 Entry Thread MKII
Another day's post comes and goes and still no news from Downing ): Not going to hear until Monday at the earliest now. The suspense is killing me!

Ooh I went to see it last night! Did you enjoy it? I was actually a bit disappointed. There were bits that didn't live up to my expectations (Malfoy Manor, the burrow bits) but then bits I loved (The deathly hallows story, Hermione/Harry/Ron relationship) so I'm not sure.(Original post by hunter'sdaughter)
Hey! Sorry I was watching Harry Potter, so I wasn't on
Quote my first post in the MKI thread to get all the info and best of luck

Re: The Official Cambridge Applicants' 2011 Entry Thread MKIISaaaame. Just saw it. Disappointed. The last one was better I think. This was slightly more faithful to the book but it dragged out the travelling scenes a bit much. They didn't do the Ministry bit or the chase bit at the start justice. The way the Ministry bit was planned out and executed was awesome but it didn't really come through in the film. And no Lupin hissy fit(Original post by Lulope)

Actually I'm not sure they did anything justice. The next one had better be good because watching that was kind of depressing.

Re: The Official Cambridge Applicants' 2011 Entry Thread MKIICan't you stick around a few days afterwards?(Original post by Doughnuts!!)
Anybody with an interview on the 6th/staying in Cambridge on the 6th hit me up! I'm baking some cupcakes for a few friends that are Law students and I wouldn't mind sharing with you guys.
Please?
The train is a lot faster (takes ~ 30 minutes) and afaik cheaper.(Original post by Killyenn)
I'm going on my own. I'm flying to London Stansted from Amsterdam and from there I'll get to Cambridge by bus

Re: The Official Cambridge Applicants' 2011 Entry Thread MKIII think I like the last film better but this one did have good bits in it.(Original post by Scrubby)

I thought that about the ministry bit. And the bit before it in the book, with Kreacher. I like how it showed a different side to him but in the film you don't get any of that.
I wish there had been more of loads of characters. Lupin was hardly in it at all ): Some of the minor characters were great though. The guy who was chasing them in the ministry (Yaxely maybe? Can't totally remember) was amazing. I don't know what it was about him but I thought he was scarier than any of them. IMO better than Bellatrix. -
Re: The Official Cambridge Applicants' 2011 Entry Thread MKIIAlong with Medicine and Vet and Economics there really is no shame at all in being rejected for law, a course that even if I was interested in would never get to interview stage either(Original post by bittersweet16)
Law. I knew it was a rejection letter before I opened it because it was just a sad little envelope. It was a long shot, anyway
Good luck with your application
Good luck with the rest of your application, all I know is that you'll be earning a lot more than I will haha!
Edit: This is also a request for a lot less Harry Potter discussion please.Last edited by comrade_jon; 20-11-2010 at 16:19. -
Re: The Official Cambridge Applicants' 2011 Entry Thread MKIIExactly this(Original post by Lulope)

What are you applying for again? I can't remember
At least it seems like most people haven't heard so fingers crossed.
Yeah, I think the few that have heard were humanities, so maybe they send out the sciencey ones later.. here's hoping

Re: The Official Cambridge Applicants' 2011 Entry Thread MKIIYeah the only two on the list are Law and geography I think so hopefully they've not got on to us science people yet.(Original post by Schnecke)
Maths

Re: The Official Cambridge Applicants' 2011 Entry Thread MKIIYeah they kind of focused on some randomly irrelevant characters a bit much. And I just realised what I missed the most was the theme music(Original post by Lulope)
I think I like the last film better but this one did have good bits in it.

None of that in the film. I just hope that they don't ruin Fred's death.

Re: The Official Cambridge Applicants' 2011 Entry Thread MKII
So, what's everyone doing to prepare for their interviews? I myself have done nothing so far. I was planning on discussing random articles to random strangers and on revising AS stuff as well as reading a heap of books but I cba for some reason.
What was it for, if you don't mind me asking?
Good luck with your application
