Re: The Cambridge PGCE ThreadYes, the interview pack followed a few days later I think... got sent information on what to prepare etc... for me it was a group discussion, presentation, individual interview and written assignment... naturally I was extremely nervous but despite that I heard back within 48 hours that I had got in. Go for it!

Re: The Cambridge PGCE Threadwow that was very quick, they must have really liked you! how many people were in the group discussion? and did you get to prepare the presentation beforehand? I still haven't received my info pack, but mine isn't until the 17th Jan so suppose there is still a while.

Re: The Cambridge PGCE ThreadCongratulations. I had my interview in November at Cambridge and was accepted the same week. Did you receive a letter to send off your CRB check and Health checks? Are you awaiting your College Membership?(Original post by bionic07)

Re: The Cambridge PGCE ThreadI have an interview that day for Primary too! No letter yet though, I think it's meant to come about 2 weeks before the interview date!(Original post by Jasongal)
Can anyone give me any advice as I have an interview on 30th January for Primary PGCE and need calming down? -

Re: The Cambridge PGCE ThreadI'm the same, just want to know now!(Original post by bionic07)
Let me know if anyone hears from their colleges... it's silly but I just want to feel settled!
What did you choose as your first and second choices? What subject are you specialising in? -

Re: The Cambridge PGCE ThreadI did it differently to the GTTR one, and just wrote a list of my hobbies, e.g. my experiences singing, acting, dancing, writing, playing sports etc...basically all the main things I enjoy. I think it's just so they know you're willing to take part in college life. Good luck for your interview - hope it goes well(Original post by lh90)
Hi =] was wondering if anyone can help me please: about the college application form?? Regarding the personal statement section...I don't mean to sound daft but what do we put in it? Is it different to the GTTR personal statement?
It says "Give details of participation in sporting activities and other interests (eg music, drama, social and religious activities or travel abroad). Please also give details of any other relevant professional qualifications held." Is this really just what I have to talk about...
I got offered a place to be a member of Homerton yesterday. Think a few other people on the Primary course did too, according to the FB page. They don't know about applying for accommodation yet though. Hope you hear something soon.(Original post by bionic07)

Re: The Cambridge PGCE ThreadWhat is your subject? You should have already received the article which you can research and annotate.(Original post by Charlieboii)

Homerton vs Hughes for Cambridge PGCE 2012/13Hey,
Anyone with experience of life at Cambridge as a PGCE student, or future students opinions on where the best accommodation is, please comment:-) All comments are great, but please stay on topic.
Please consider:
> Cambridge experience versus PGCE-centred accommodation such as Homerton/Hughes (Homerton which is opposite the Education Faculty)
> Distance of amenities such as train station, gym, supermarket, clubs, local shops etc
> Ease of transport system (bike, bus, walking)
Cheers and good luck all PGCE students.
