I have been asked to submit two essays by my college this morning - due on 31st. Seems like it can be on anything at all, and no indication of a word count is given either. Anyone else been asked this or have experience of this?

Which college was this?

I have to submit some essays for History @ Corpus Christi. I was told 1500-2500 words. Best to check with your college administrator though.

Was that STEM subjects though? The Pembroke website says 88% for STEM, but 70% for Arts.

Yeah I guess. Still though, that anybody with over 95% gets rejected is a scary statistic. Particularly for me as I'm pretty sure no-one with 0 GCSE A*s has ever got in.

The Pembroke website, the Churchill one is really similar!

But you've surely not read nothing about your subject... Maybe it's different with science.

Possible, but the Arts stats are similar and they have no such standardised tests. But yeah I figure interview is most important!

i dont think cambridge care much about gcse's. Btw people have got in with 0 A*s at gcse.

Cambridge definitely care about gcses, they just care more about aleveld and ums, and care less compared to oxford

In regards to qualifications; I have 6 A*'s 3A's and 1B which in comparison to many elite applicants is less than usual. However, I have a 96% ums average - would this make up for it?

thanks a lot,

:smile:

In the email I received from King's, they mentioned invites (at least for King's) will be issued in the latter half of November.

If I tell you you'll choose the other date :tongue:

12th for me.

I chose chemistry! Well I forgot to tell them chemistry so I had to send an email to someone... Idek Who

Turns out my band's got a gig on the 12th so I'll be going on the 19th. :tongue:

(Not avoiding you at all...)

Haha, I think I'm probably going to choose Chemistry. If you're going the week before you could tell me what to expect and whether it's actually worth going down for. :redface:
