Cambridge Applicants for 2012 entry

LMFAO don't worry, I googled their names and found an article. I think the Linguistics girl went to Cambridge for her interview

I know, it's kind of stalker-ish

This has been the most expensive application ever, and if it totals to $1000, I think we would have both broken a world record lol
I hope it is worth it for both of us!

Hopefully we will get a reply from Blyth tomorrow. I know, I feel like I am going to be all "Mommy.... Daddy... I love you!" to my parents and negotiate them with my savings from my part-time job. I'm still undecided about the interview though!

Is it my imagination, or has there been mention of Skype interviews for people who can't get to Cambridge and can't be interviewed in their own country? Because if so, it's not exactly ideal, but maybe you could email King's and ask for that? I think it's silly of them to expect you to fly from the other side of the world for one day of interviews - quite apart from the cost of flying, the jet lag would be horrible and not at all a fair basis for comparative interviews.

Mega excited!!
I've just checked my email and I've been invited to interview - woo! On the 23rd November at Christ's for Law. Just very nervous that it's so soon

That makes me feel less on edge, thanks. Congratulations on your offer btw, are you doing any exams this year because your sig still has it as conditional?

oh thank god, i feel so much better now thanks a lot!! when was your interview?

Did you get the Imperial open day invitation. As an intl applicant, will you be excusing yourself or will you just ignore the mail.

I am an international applicant， from Singapore
I applied to Natural Sciences Physical ，in St Catharine’s College，which does not requrie TSA.

However, as international applicants, we are all supposed to take the TSA.
Cambridge Website says if you are interviewed in cambridge, then no need to take the TSA, if interview elsewhere, then should take it...that's why I am confused...

Anyway how important is the tsa?

So will the college I applied to take my TSA result into consideration, or
the TSA is just for a backup in case I am pooled to the college that requires TSA?
I feel my TSA is completely a disaster but my other aspects are fairly well.
So how important is the TSA? Will my prefered college (catz, which says they do not require TSA, on the website) look at the TSA result at the first place?

My email to Blyth was for naught, since I just realized I've been rejected for the Blyth scholarship

When was the deadline on returning the forms, because i haven't been sent anything yet? Do you think that because I'm applying deferred that I won't be sent them?

With all the issues and concerns from international applicants, this thread is becoming increasingly irrelevant, chaotic, and boring to everyone in the UK.

Why can't we have 'International Cambridge Applicants for 2012 entry' and 'UK Cambridge Applicants for 2012 entry'? Has this been suggested before?

does practically everyone who applies to Queens' apply for deferred entry? I applied for 2012 and would like to change to deferred if this is the case (Queens' encourages deferred). Will this affect my chances of getting an interview cos i didnt defer?

I think this is a bad idea. This is a thread for everyone applying to Cambridge. Sure some of the international guys have more hoops to jump through but in the end we're all applying to the same place and hoping to study at this university together (with as many of us as can make it).

I didn't catch any explanation there as to why it's a bad idea, just a motivational 'we're all in this together' speech which we've heard too many times.

Yes, in the end we're applying to the same place, but during that process I want relevant people who are in a similar situation saying relevant things that are interesting to read and that I can relate to.

This thread has turned to an international cry for help / make me feel better / ask questions that no one can precisely answer thread.

I've seen frequent posters disappear and even I'm posting less and less because this thread is turning boring. Hard to sort through all the posts and find who here in the UK has had invitations/responses/etcetc.
