    You're a beast though - just too smart!

    I got 76%. :dance: Apparently the mean result when the test was used was 63% so I'll take that... I have a feeling they're lying to me though.

    Oh by the way, since you got accepted by ALL the universities, fancy giving a couple of personal statement tips?

    I don't know how much extra-curricular stuff to include; all I really have is an RES essay competition, the Chance to be Chancellor competition, wider reading and running county championship level sports... once. Two years ago. :lol:
    Explain how they give you independence? leadership skills?

    I did that whilst watching Federer play in Wimbledon last year. It's best to sit down properly focused.
    I did mine at 11 at night :facepalm:

    He quotes you and writes a huge reply but all you reply back is that!

    Also, loving that arrogance about your personal statement!

Two years ago. :lol:
    I made a submission to RES when I was interested in economics. Those extra-currics all sound quite impressive.

    The earlier you submit it, the quicker you get it back. There will be very few statements around at the minute!

    After emailing the admissions at Trinity a few times, and discussing things with my brother, I've decided to apply for Maths at Trinity College.

    Anyway, hope you all have a nice day~

    I must point out, that I partly agree with the former.

    I must now fend off Etoile before she eats my face. Oh dear.
    Maths is NOT just a memory game.

    :mob:

    I can't remember which guy I mentioned, so it might be but it might be someone else. Oh wait, it's the one who I said was being difficult. Which is why I said think, because I'm not entirely sure how he's seeing it. I don't know what to doooooooooo >.<
    No rush



    Just a guy :blush:
    Night



    Me too! Except linguistics, the best science :teehee:
    Woah woah am I behind here? Do you have a new boy interest? Tell meh...

    A good exercise I picked up somewhere is to start out by forcing yourself to make friendly eye contact with every person you pass. They have to be the one to break eye contact, and that gets you used to automatically making eye contact. You have no idea how much confidence it conveys, and it makes everything go better to be honest.
    Keep reading and you'll learn faces with ease.

    Very slim, I know! Not a psycho, just a slut complex and zero self respect.

    I like that, thanks.
    Teach me in the ways of people, master. :adore:

    :hi:!
    If there's actually stuff you want to know, feel free to ask me in either the thread or PM.

    I am in no way claiming to be an expert on social behaviour by the way. Just pretty passable. :colonhash:

    I like the way that we reduce social interactions to textbook stuff on this thread.

    Oh gawd. :getmecoat: I already stood no chance and now I definitely stand no chance.

    Maths then? :five: Hopefully I'll see you at interview maybe... probably not after that though... :sigh:
