It was very similar. I loved how straightforward it was - pretty much the whole thing was impossible to prepare for, just an extract of case/statute and they asked questions on it. And they told us exactly what the interviews would consist of several times. It was the exact opposite of the stereotypical weird Oxbridge interview.

Yeah it was quite big - I just stuck to the main routes and followed other people Thankfully some of the other applicants had a better sense of direction than I did.

Well I applied for History last year, which I didn't really want to do and I hadn't thought out. So I think the Cambridge interviewers just saw through me rather In a way it was a good thing, because with hindsight I'd much rather be doing Law than History

Where else are you applying?

GCSEs: 9A*s, 1A

Cheers buddy

Yeah, I noticed that. Same GCSE grades and v similar A level subjects. I thought about E + M, but love the philosophical side that PPE brings...

it made it really easy to just copy and paste my info on the wiki :P, balliol looks lovely, very nive gardens

Yep, I know...

It has a ridiculous number of applicants for PPE though (I think it's the highest...), so I'm not too confident

done

any body want me to add them to the stalking page? Also i know its not necessary but does anybody want me to add AS UMSs?

Cheers, it's you again

Please could you add me?

Anyone know if there's a dead set method for choosing interviewees for Maths?

I know for Physics they just interview the top x amount from the aptitude test.. Is this the same for all subjects?

i think they choose the top x from the MAT as well, maybe combined with GCSEs? im not certain, but i think it the latter

I believe it goes like this: Each year a MAT score is determined, which acts as a kind of cut of point. Candidates just under, or just above, are carefully looked at, to decide whether inviting them for interview would be useful.

Ok so the MAT score is the main determining factor, but if you're around the cut-off then you may be given an interview if you have excellent GCSE/PS/reference etc.?
