Hello!

Well I'm definitely applying, how about you guys? My friend went there last year and apparently it was amazing, so I'm pretty exited.

I endeavour to study medicine (surprise, surprise) and I'm applying to take the Biology and Chemistry course however, they have two other courses available too, which are the following:

English and History
Maths and Physics


"The GEEMA Summer School is for UK students from ethnic minorities attending a state school. It offers a taste of the wide variety of courses available to study at Cambridge. The summer school will include lectures, seminars, discussion groups and practical work."

You get to stay at one of the Cambridge colleges, in a single bedroom.
You'll eat meals with everyone at the cafeteria
There'll be staff and undergraduates to talk to.
There will also be plenty of socialising including taking part in things such as "theatre trips, punting on the river, tours of the city and a gala dinner."

must be from a maintained sector school or college
