Economics "Chances"

My offer is AAB.

And yes tehy can want peopel really badly.

Cambridge give unconditional offers to people still at school.
Trinity Cambridge gave Paul Jeffries, who's been on the IMO team since he was 14 (and for the last few years has been the best by miles), and is also in the IIO team (and is the best by miles on the team), an unconditional offer.

It doesn't hurt that he's probably already done 3 A-levels (he's doing 10 in total) and is, so far as I know, the most intelligent school-age person in teh whole country.

Of course, it could be that they gave him that offer coz he's a nice guy. But I'm not sure that is the answer....

yeh he probably got an unconditional offer as he already had 3 As? otherwise they would have just given him EE as is their tradition i guess

i think someone i went to 6th form with got an unconditional to read maths at cambridge..because he'd already done 3 A levels & got As by the time he applied (Maths & some MFLs i think) & was doing FM & sciences in his upper 6th, 8 A levels in total..

no comment about his social skills though

hehe but thinking about it, im doing 4 A-levels and 2 AEAs (admittedly nxt to no work) and i think i cud do a few more but i spend so much time dossing. we have a "chart" system at school where u have a timetable for the week and you have to fill in wat u did in ur assignment periods , ie politics assignment or history coursework. and the amount that i have to make up (u cant really write chatted, slept, looked at porn) is about half my assignment time and prep. plus i dont have all that much time on the weekends for doing it as i have to do rowing n stuff. though i think its not possible 2 work solidly i think if i had another a-level going i wouldnt find it all too difficult to fit in. though i guess at presssure points like exams, or when all ur subjects have a coursework deadline for the same day u mite feel it a bit. but a bit of plannin n that could be resolved.
so i cud do 5 or 6 and not let my social skills suffer, but then again im an arts student and not a nerdy scientist

You row and have spare time?! The rowers at my school seem to work about 26 hours a day

hehe feels that way, plus am captain which means attending meetings that go on for hours in which i invaribly just sit there eating penguins. Plus spending my meal time finding people to tell them about the training session thats been rearranged plus sorting out everyones social problems. it seems you cant get even 2 people into a boat without them having a huge falling out and refusing to get into a boat together ever again n they've got a race the nxt day. plus u cant bunk anything, they werent even that keen on me missing the last three sessions of term (with no events coming up for like 8 weeks) for my oxford interview!

This girl who was in my school, Jennifer Gardener, the only girl to make the IMO team, got an EE offer from Cambridge to do Maths, she didnt even meet her offer! But she got the place!

How can you not meet EE? Did she not turn up to the exams or something?
