I'll be the short one who looks lost! Probably not the best quality for a wannabe Geographer

Yay! Interview at Robinson, Cambridge on the 10th of December. Chuffed as I didn't even think i'd get one But now the nerves begin....

Yayyyy! Well done! Good luck with it. Are you getting any mock interviews or anything?

Cheers mate. Well I had one about two weeks ago with a teacher within school, and although it was helpful just to talk about the subject, I feel as if the real one would be much more academic. (They were asking me about skills and stuff which I don't think Cambridge really care about...)

What about you?

Did they go to Oxbridge? It's probably not going to help that much if they haven't experienced an Oxbridge interview. Just be prepared for a challenge, really.

There's a few teachers at my school who have gone to Oxbridge (despite very few teachers having any memory of any student getting in- I think the last one was about a decade ago...) and apparently everyone applying is gonna get a mock interview with each of them. Although in reality it'll probably just be 2 or something. Thankfully one of them did geography at Cambridge so obviously that's gonna help a lot.

No unfortunately they didn't aha...but nevermind! Oooooh that's quite lucky I suppose then! Did they graduate (relatively) recently? If your schools last successful application was 10 years ago I think they'll flag your application so that's all good. Out of curiosity how many in your year are applying?

Yeah I went to a taster day the location is just soo superb!!
Are you doing any like further reading at the moment?

Name: GottaRevise

Anybody got an interview at Queen Mary on 14th November?

Yay! Interview at Robinson, Cambridge on the 10th of December. Chuffed as I didn't even think i'd get one But now the nerves begin....

That's fantastic to hear, congrats

Yeah about five years ago I think! So very recent.

Yeah I think if its less than 5 successful applicants in 5 years you're flagged. 5 have applied this year, which is more than in a long time, and all 5 for Cambridge. There's probably something we're lacking compared to other schools. I guess we'll see if any of us get lucky this time around. How many are applying at your school?

Ahh wicked! :-D
No, I have ridiculous amounts to read for my history coursework at the moment :-( are you?

Hi Bit late joining this, but I have offers for Bristol and Birmingham, bith with a year abroad, and am waiting to hear from Oxford, UCL and Kings

Just thought I'd say, I study Geography at Edinburgh (MA and Bsc are mixed in first year) so if you have any questions about Edinburgh in general or the course you can let me know. (I also do Archaeology and History of Art)

Also be prepared to wait a while, I didn't get an offer from Edinburgh till the 28th Feb!
