    GUYS! Don't get desperate to start a freshers page for 2012 just now!!! The union will make it's own official freshers page once loads of you firm. Trust me, the day will come!

    We made our own freshers page but it was a bit stupid coz the union were like "Get rid of it, it's not official" and we had to convert that freshers group into something else.

    Hold it for now... I know you're excited but enjoy your anonymity on TSR instead. You guys haven't even got interviews yet

    please do! it's fine, let's get all as many applicants in as possible and discussions will eventually flow :P

    there's an Oxford applicants group too and it's relatively active nowadays, compared to how it was when it first started, so don't worry about not having any convo or such :P

    I can't create the group without adding friends to it and I don't know anyone else applying to Imperial, fail!

    A page doesn't feel as exclusive-y though, and there's no monitoring on who can like a page (I'm thinking the whole abuse drama on the Oxford group recently, for those of you who are part of that...)

    I'd recommend you not make an applicants group or whatever but still.... :nothing: Kids these days abusing technology and stuff...

    Just saying coz hopefully you guys will get in but you don't want to start making friendships just now. If someone doesn't get in in the end/if you make enemies already, it'll be hell awkward. Trust me, as a part of a freshers group before, I know these things. It's pretty horrid when someone doesn't get in I mean you start getting attached to the people on TSR despite it's anonymity.

    Having said that...I'm actually pretty tempted to join it you know

    Do you feel old? Wanting the best for your children? But them not listening to you. So you have to watch them make those mistakes and learn from them themselves...
