Official Cambridge Applicants Thread 2016 Entry

Interviews are different for each college but for Phys NatSci I has one Chemistry and one Physics interview. They both pretty much just had me figure stuff out using the things I had learnt from A Level Maths/Chem/Physics.

Take as much maths as you possibly can.

Hi all, just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Joe and I'm the Access Officer at Trinity Hall, which means it's my job to make sure no one is put off from applying for financial or cultural reasons. I'm also a 2nd year Geographer, so feel free to fire away with colouring-in jokes!

It's great that you're all thinking so far ahead already, it'll give you the best possible chance to providing a competitive application. If anyone has any questions about Trinity Hall, the application process, college choice in general or anything else Cambridge-related I'm here to answer

Do you think itsvworth taking further maths a 5 option? I'm currently choosing maths/chem/bio/phys/philosophy but I am considering changing philosophy?

Hello,

Finally, a thread for us OCD over thinkers and pre-planners. I want to go to Cambridge and study Computer Science, and am already planning which Cambridge College I want to apply to.

My A-Levels are:
Maths (I'm doing this a year early so ail finished the A2 by Year 12, so I can pick up the extended project for Year 13)
Further Maths
Physics
Psychology
Extended Project

Definitely. It's both easier (IMO) and more important for your application than philosophy.

How did everyone's results go? Hope we're all still on track for Cambridge!

Hey again! Are you going to be applying for Law at uni then? We're doing identical A Levels haha!

I've decided to go with Maths and change my A Level options to Maths, Further Maths, Economics, Physics, Chemistry and Critical Thinking and then do a law conversion

Are you not thinking about doing law at Uni then if you're going to do the conversion course?

I'm not anymore I'm too scared I'll dislike the law degree itself, and I've always wanted to do Maths anyway You still thinking about the law course?

How did everyone's results go? Hope we're all still on track for Cambridge!

Do you have any advice on a strong application for courses like natural svience or chemistry?

I think I'm still on track xD I got 11A*s and 1B which I'm over the moon with (if you exclude the B -_- ). So time to smash AS UMS

Well done, they're great

Dude xD If you change to FM, you'll be doing the exact same subjects as me

You may have to tutor me because furhter maths scares me I even turned down my prefered sixth form not to do it and now I'm doing it -_-
Congrats on your GCSEs by the way!
What you planning on doing, apart from geting 5A*s for natural science application ? I'm clueless and spending the next week getting clued up on uni and chizz

I'm slightly scared I won't like it too, but I'm still thinking about going for it Hopefully everything will work out well
I'm sure you'll have fun doing maths

How did everyone's results go? Hope we're all still on track for Cambridge!

Hey everyone! I got 8A*s and 5As in my GCSEs this year. Will the 5As affect my application (if I make one, it's still quite early!)?

I also took Critical Thinking early at AS and got an A. I got 83 ums on the first module and 85 on the second. For A level I am taking Geography, Biology, English Language and Literature and History. I do various extra curriculars and intend to do an EPQ.

I am thinking of possibly doing Geography. Is my profile competitive/good enough so far?

Ahh i'm so scared I want to make the right choice and it's so hard D: Yeah same here

You looking forward to September? I'M SO EXCITED AGH
