    haha! You will be, but I don't think you will get rejected considering nearly everyone voted for you!

    BTW guys, I know this is sort of meant to be a fun distraction but my mum just had to waltz in and ask 'when are you hearing from Cambridge again?' - take a sneak peak at my Windows calendar to see the letters get sent off a week today (as in the 28th, that is )!

    The list is only limited to 5 people, so people naturally go for who they recognise most or alternatively, mathematicians (as our offer rate is like 2-3 times higher than most other subjects ). So basically don't worry about it, it's only a timewaster game - I believe in you!

    True, true. You make a compelling argument. I'm afraid I can't come back to such a grown-up response. You win.

    i wasn't going for mature i was going for factually correct, your lack of response is understandable.
    I would have assumed people would aim for maturity before attempting to reach correct facts, so as not be skewed towards childish assumptions, but then again I am terribly, terribly old, so what would I know?

    Anyway, this old person has to go to bed, so I apologise for not reading any more of your responses.

    Two votes for me. :woo: After all, I may have a chance of getting an offer - who knows.
    Good luck to everyone, including the people who are not in the above list!

    Quite flattered two people think I'll get in. I think I spend far too much time on TSR for that to be realistic..!

    (Fingers crossed though of course and good luck to my entered people!)

    Good point. I bet there reaches a point where the "time spent on TSR" vs. "likelihood of getting in" curve gets backwards-bending

    Don't be silly we already stated that they were directly proportional! Maybe we need to develop a proof so there's no further argument *mind races with ideas which make no sense*.

    I think that most of the very best people don't spend much time here at all. They're too busy actually working. For instance, I find it very unlikely that the person in my year who got 100% UMS in five arts/humanities subjects at AS ever comes here... :P
