    Cambridge for maths <3

    And you?
    Same lol, wish i'd have picked chemistry now but i guess i'll see what maths is like instead. My choices for uni are down to Natural sciences/(Chemical/Biochemical) Engineering/Maths.
    I'm guessing you're almost certainly down for maths? i'd be 100% backing maths but i can't do A2 FM and i REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY don't want to do STEP.

    Hey, i only found about this scheme a few days ago and was wondering if anyone has applied/going to apply/have participated in the summer school?

    I'm considering applying for medicine. Bad choice i know with all the competition... but i'm a bit weary in applying. Not sure about this whole concept of being on my own and i'd have to fly over on my own too

    Replies and what not would be much appreciated
    I saw a flyer in my school common room. Went and googled it the next day, then saw the entry requirement
    I knew it was too good to be true!
    But it does seem like a really good opportunity for those who meet the requirements. I think it's free as well?

    Yeah maths all the way....I do maths, futher maths, physics and economics so my subjects are tailored towards maths. Im really worried bout STEP too but I guess I will just have to deal with it. I love maths anyway so learning it will be fun in itself but im worried that it will be too hard. But im gonna keep hoping i get the summer school so at least I get to spend a week there if I don't get a place at the uni
