It'd be like B1 I'd say. I've done a French homestay and buying food, traveling, talking about my country, about school and such was 'alright'. I could understand quite well, and as about speaking... I could get my points through .

Not too much of a joke then The level isn't that low, just too low for you (I empathise >.<)!

apparently? ¦D
Pembroke does look amazing though. Huge fan of Pembroke. been hoarding Pembroke prospectuses and giving a few out to close friends at school. ?

I trust wcp's judgment Does look good though, must agree. Are you going to their open day?

'fraid not this time. I may go to the one in July for sciences at Pembroke since that's what I want to do, but the distances are quite large so it is unlikely at the moment.

Hi! I'm also a Cambridge Medic hopeful I'm pretty set on Trinity Hall, but I'm gonna have a look around to be sure :P I also entered the Kelvin Science Prize, did the question about philosophy of science. Did you get an email today from them telling us to expect the announcements in late May? In all fairness I am not expecting to win, but I'm glad I got the experience of writing the essay

Ah cool, Trinity Hall looks like a nice college. I did mine on which scientist's life I would extend (chose Charles Darwin ). Yeah, I got the same email. I'm not expecting anything but really want to get commended as you get to go up for a day and it looks good on an application I suppose.

How's your revision going?

Hi prospective 2013 applicant for medicine too!! For me its between Emma and Christ's.. Just can't decide which one!! Any opinions? Feels weird that we'll be applying in a couple of months...

Emma has ducks, and Christs is really academic. That's pretty much all I know. Also, this guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a8XLBnFdKc) goes/went to Emma, not that that will affect your choice

I know right, it feels like we have such little time left.

Got any wxp this holiday?

Congratulations on the 100% on the politics exam- no mean feat! I reckon you'll still stand a good chance at getting a Cambridge interview if you get the AS grades you're predicted.
Just so you know Cambridge don't use the LNAT, they use the Cambridge Law Test
(and for some colleges they use their own version) but you don't have to sit that untill interview day.

Much obliged. How different is the Cambridge Law Test?

Hi thinking of probably applying if I get the grades at AS.

Does anyone know if Cambridge cares a lot about your gcse grades for linguistics or is it if you do well at AS they will overlook it sort of thing at all?

It's very different, for the LNAT you have a multiple choice section and then you have to write an essay. I didn't do the Cambridge Law Test (Clare set their own) but I think you can get either: an essay, a problem question or a comprehension paper. If you look on the Law Faculty's website they've got more info on there

I personally found the Clare Law Test a lot harder than the LNAT but then I know people who've had the exact opposite experience! There are practice LNAT tests on the LNAT website too so there's a lot of information online for you to take a look at and get a good idea about what to expect.

Wow, Cambridge will love the Nuffield thing. I'm a hospital volunteer as well (on an Oncology ward)

I'm thinking about Bristol, Barts, Durham etc. I'm considering applying to another BMAT uni (Imperial) but am not sure, as it's quite risky. If I get a great UKCAT score I'll only apply to Cambridge, if not so good I may give Cambridge and Imp a go.

You?

Ooh I'm thinking imperial too! As for the others I'm thinking a Scottish uni (maybe Edinburgh) and then not sure for my last one thinking B'ham/Leicester/Queen Mary but I'm really not sure..trying to balance where I'd LIKE to go and where I would get in.. But cambridge is the dream.. Only worried that I'll get my hopes up too high and completely go into a depression if I don't get in.. let's hope for the best!!

Here here, what you've just said pretty much sums up what I think about this. For example, I don't really like PBL courses (just don't think the course layout would suit me), but I don't want to limit myself purely to the 'traditional' med schools (which may be more competitive).

Paha, lets keep our fingers crosses for Cam...

Well....it's better than not trusting it at all

Where are you thinking of now? I haven't found the link to the open day booking yet despite it saying: "booking opens in April." I suppose it doesn't necessarily mean the first. (Not that I'm eager)

I've just found out that Pembroke prefer deffering......looks like I'll have to apply elsewhere.
