    Rejected from Cambridge maths. Apparently there were 4000 applicant for 400 places. Thats 10 per place so its actually harder to get into the summer school than the uni. But i got a place on this 'cambridge new initiative' hingy. Its where you get set a task and you have to complete it in 3 weeks with a load of othe maths applicants and discuss via a website they'll giv and then you go to cambridge for one day to experience lectures and group sessions....kinda disappointed but at least i get to do something

    Well done!

    Few hours til I find out yet, what criteria did you meet?
    Thanks! Really hope you get in as well.

    I met all 6 criteria, so lucky me

    4000 applications for 400 places. Gosh that is really tough.

    Unlucky. I was hoping you were going to get in because I'm doing maths and it would be nice to know someone from here.

    Hello I'm doing Languages but still I am going to Durham, I'm so excited I never thought I'd get in!!! Slightly nervous though are you?
    Okay so now I know someone doing languages, on top of others doing maths, English and history, but nobody else seems to be studying the same thing as I am! I'm nervous but god I'm excited to meet you all, its gonna be so fun

    I got a place for the Biological Sciences at Cambridge

    Genuinely didn't believe I would get in, matched only 4/6 criteria, well done to all others accepted and commiserations to those who didn't get a place on this occasion :-)

    Rejected by Cambridge for Medicine, but I've been offered a place on their Experience Cambridge: Medicine event, with group working for 3 weeks and a day in Cambridge for sample lectures etc. so I'm not too annoyed xD
