Ahh of course, you must really love John's - you said it months ago and stuck with it until the end, whilst I seem to change mine multiple times a day lol - don't blame you though, John's is an absolutely gorgeous college too!
I've started the SAQ, but there's stuff about class sizes and such that I need to ask about at school tomorrow. You?

I do. I'm applying for maths. It's so annoying how they have interview prep for so many subjects but not maths.
You?

Mine took 13 hours, other people said 12 so about that.
What are my chances ofor getting an interview for natural sciences?
My GCSES where mostly good 5As l,1A*, 1c(predicted A* in the one c,but goodn't make it to second paper due to a serious problem at the time), and a distinction in BTEC level 2 engineering(not sure why my school encurages vocational courses).
I got three As and a B in chemistry at AS.I also completed A2 maths alongside my AS and got a B, but my grade was brought down by M2 which I plan on retaking
The grade is chemistry is declared extenuating circumstances as my teacher was awful.The averge grade in my class was a U.My teachers are encouraging me but I feel hesitant as there are students in my college better than me
Also I plan on taking a full A-level in further maths this year and I am predicted an A*, I have made sure this is on my reference.This how situation is making me feel really anxious due to the fact that a lot of pressure has come from nowhere in a short amount of time.Please help people, this is really giving me a serious case of isomnia!!!

Does anyone know what you're supposed to put in the SAQ subject content bit when you're doing maths + further maths? It says to count f.maths as just maths in the other section, but there's not enough space in the lil box to put in everything in all the modules? Should you just do an overview, or split it up?

I think it is very hard to say but I believe Cambridge will consider your situation seriously.
You don't need to worry that much. Just try your best in the admission test. Maybe we should all see the Cambridge application as a sort of "adventure"
I am also an applicant of Natural Science this year,so good luck to both of us! LOL 😁

I'm not quite sure which section you mean, but you list all A-levels separately.
And then give the details of each maths & FM module.

Make your photo a good one - it will be on your Cambridge ID card throughout your time at university...
(not joking)
(not joking)
Ahahahaa I made the initial mistake of uploading a bad photo... Or least one that I don't look good in... Time to get a new one taken...
Are we going off passport rules i.e. no facial expression of any sort including smiling?
