I'm still being considered, too - pooled for medicine. It seems everyone pooled by Magdalene are still under consideration. Maybe they only pool people they still might want?
Yep, I still think I'm gonna get rejected too :biggrin:

I thought that I should end my period of lurking here, as I got an offer for natural sciences from Magdalene. So I made an account...

Congrats to those who got offers, and good luck to those in the pool!

I don't think so, but read the summer pool info on the website
:smile:

hi Jucus!

hiiii ems!! :hugs:

Oooh, very quiet.

Lets have some Magdalene talk. Hows everyone feeling? What are they thinking? Anything anyone is worried about?

I'm a bit worried about accomodation... I don't know what to expect. Cripps court is amazing... and the accomodation I saw at open day + interview was OK too. But whats the worst it could possibly be? And how expensive? And how many to a loo? And how many to a kitchen?

Asked all these at open day but got told 'it varies' so any times.

yes i agree, more magdalene chat needed

sorry cant answer any of the questions above, i did stay in a fairly small room with sink at interview, the general opinion seemed to be that i had a pretty grotty room compared to others. i didnt think it was really that bad, compared to other unis anyway, there was a nice beam!

what's the policy on in term time having a friend/ family member share your room- just for a night or two- if they happen to be in cambridge?

i'm very excited, about to confirm firm/insurance on track!!! now we only need the grades ?!? :frown:

I've been wondering about the same questions...I haven't been to any open days nor did I stay in college during my interviews so I have really no idea about the whole accomodation thing.
Now I'm more worried about the financial part of it...I'm struggling with contacting The European Team who are a)the most popular hence busiest people in the whole UK b)just reallly lazy.... :rolleyes:

I'm fine...and lost in my reading lists...I have just no idea how to get all these books here in the middle of nowhere Hungary!
Buying them at amazon is a quite expensive business but most of them aren't even in libraries.Hmm, I have still time...but the letter from Magdalene with some Arabic script learning sheets and the book list just made me scared!
How are you all those other fellow magadelene people?

Reading list... scary thought... I think they send me mine once my offer's confirmed- i.e. in August once (?!?) i have the grades. That gives me 6 weeks to read anything and everything vaguely architectural! and i guess Gombrich's Story of Art- 1000 page coffee table book! Arr well fun times ahead!

Good luck Jucus with finding all your books, i reckon Amazon's your best bet... it's probably worth having your own copies once you arrive anyway.

Have fun!!!

hmm,thanks :smile:

I have Gombrich's Story of Art and read it also- but in Hungarian...
Try to have a look on the faculty homepage they might have some reading lists under the papers section or something similar...I mean only if you want to have fun earlier :p:
