Default Corpus Christi
 
I've applied for Law '07. Anyone else apply there for anything? Obviously, there'll be less as it's a much smaller college than the rest, which draw larger numbers of applicants. But anyone out there?

Lol!! I haven't got a clue about how they actually went, but I felt really good about them! Especially the last; I didn't have any real prompting or awkward silences. However, that could be due to me just not shutting up! Whatever happens, I feel that I did my best, so hatever happens, it'll be the 'right' outcome. If I don't get in, I probably couldn't have coped there anyway!

Did you stay overnight or just go for the day?

I'm Dan btw

Exclamation Re: Any Corpus applicants?
 
Hey Sophie,

I've applied to SPS at Corpus too! Had my interviews on Tuesday - How did you think yours went?
I think my general interview was alot harder than my subject specific!

Oh well- We'll just have to see how it pans out in Jan!

Thumbs up Re: Any Corpus applicants?
 
I arrived on the 11th and left on the 12th - Met some really nice fellow interviewees for SPS and also plenty of interviewees for english.

Has the interviewing period finished now for Corpus, and indeed for Cambridge?

Corpus Christi is a touch nut to crack, you need top grades to get a position as a grad or undergrad in a place like that.

Well, you need top grades to get into Cambridge at all, but I wouldn't say that Corpus is any harder to get into than any other Cambridge college. In fact, Corpus seems to be a little less anal about grades than some other colleges. I met people with 1, 3 and 4 A*s whilst there, and the law student I was speaking to had 3 A* and 'only' 3 A levels, having had ABB at AS when applying two years ago. Because they're only a small college, they don't get as many applicants, and thus not the swarms and swarms of 12 A* applicants. I don't see why; it's one of the most beautiful colleges of all, one of the oldest, and from my experiences, one of the friendliest. And they have a 120" TV. 'Nuff said.

Which lawyer were you speaking to? Was it a first year? Did you meet Colm McGrath?

Corpus seems to be fairly competitive academically (from an admissions standpoint). There are quite a few internationals in Corpus and a fairly sizeable chunk of the college is Northern Irish.

As for the TV - yeah, we rock. :P

As an aside, the number of Law applicants one finds around here is extremely disconcerting. It calls my own chances into serious question!

I'm a law applicant for Corpus as well. Don't find it disconcerting Giliwoo...I think Corpus gets a slightly below average number of applicants for most courses, including law.
