    Re: The Cambridge Natural Sciences Thread
    Is anyone doing/has anyone done the Part II Mechanisms of Disease: From Process to Patient major BBS course? There's hardly any info about it on the site so I'd really love some first-hand details about what it entails and whether it's any good (particularly as I suspect it's heavily slanted towards MVST students)

    To be honest with you, I don't know of any NatScis who do that course, only medics...

    I'm not overly surprised to hear that as I don't imagine it would appeal to that many NatScis, and perhaps the lack of information about it is another deterring factor

    Well, I can actually imagine people trying to, since I have met the weirdest people ever whenever I visited masterclasses for high school students (one guy spent all evening explaining to me in great detail how to build bombs and all.. :eek: ) I never know what to expect now, lol.
    Thanks and good luck to you too!

    My interview is on Monday at Jesus but there's a chance the boat I need to get on isn't going to sail :/ It's overriding any worries about the interview.
