Will definitely be firming for French & Brazilian Portuguese unless I get an offer from Cambridge... but I'm pretty much already resigned to the fact that that's not going to happen!
Aww I would definitely be getting in on this thread but I applied for deferred! :/ Will almost definitely be firming for medicine though. See you all in 2013, you can show me round.
I have not received answers from all the other universities I have applied to, but I am sure I'll firm KCL (Physics & Philosophy).
I just have two questions:
1) Is there a lot of young students (because I am just 16, and I don't really know the average age of the first year students)? 2) How is it like to study Physics & Philosophy? And do we need to have read any books before the start of the course?

I think the majority of freshers are around 18. To be honest, I only know a couple classmates of mine who are 17, don't know any 16 year olds, but that's just the people I know. I wouldn'y worry too much about it though-people are really accepting and diverse at King's.
About the readings, I don't think anyone will be able to answer that on tsr. But, if the department doesn't tell you to do any reading then you're not expected to.
