How did you find it? I think it was an alright paper, now we wait


I am not sure if it's genius or complete trash. I thought my Q1 was much better than Q3, but I don't think we're supposed to discuss the content for a couple of days yet because some applicants still haven't sat it yet.

Oh that's a good point, whoops. I think my q1 was better than my 2 as well, i feel like I explained it better. Mine probably reads either pretty insightful or absolutely terrible 😂 ah well. Good job 👏🏼

Anyone heard back from cambridge about interviews yet?
I graduated in Philosophy. I'm glad the discipline has so many passionate applicants this year.

Well done kids, you've chosen a noble path, knowledge for knowledge sake. :smile:

As far as I'm aware Oxbridge only invite for interview 7-10 days before the actual date?

Really? - i've definitely heard of people who already have an interview for December so i I'm not sure that's right. I'm aware that Cambridge have an 'interview embargo' for subjects with admissions tests until 14th november where they're not allowed to offer interviews. However, given that philosophy wasn't an admissions test subject I thought some people might have heard back already

People at your school? Or on TSR? A few people got busted for BS'ing they had interviews already, but if they have I'm jealous of the preparation time

Ah, I'm sure you'll get an interview. Your academic profile is a 9-10/10.

aha thanks very much :smile: Thankfully I didn't have to sit an admissions test which, by the sound of it, would have wrecked my application lol

Although I'm confident-ish that I'll get an interview due to Cambridge's high interview rate, I'm still very stressed out!

How did your AA go?

I thought it went fairly well, I'm certain one of my essays was better than the other but just hope my arguments and reasoning in both were valid & well put-forth.
