Filling in the CAF - sorry, another one!

Our school only sent them off TODAY, so...no. They've paid £208 for a courrier to deliver them...all because of the bloody strikes!

Well, at least your schools paid for couriers. If I let my school post my CAF they'd have posted it by Royal Mail on Friday - when I suggested they use a courier service they looked at me like I was stupid or something

does your college look at your SAQ, and thus find out the reasons why you applied to cambridge/that college/for that subject? Or is it for general data collection/surveying purposes??? If the college does read it, I feel tempted to leave my CAF personal statement blank

That's pretty sad, why would you not just dump it at the plodge?

I waffled on (in an organised, succinct manner, of course) about why I wanted the Cambridge course, why I wanted to go to Trinity and how I would love to study in such a great institution... it was sort of corny but I actually did mean it. For my subject it was useful as the ps is spent going on about how much work experience you've done and your communication skills and teamwork and so forth - this was an opportunity to say why I was applying, especially as for Medicine the Cambridge course type is now quite unusual.

If you have something extra to say about why Cambridge or why this college, go for it. But don't feel you have to write something.

Hi, i was just wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing your experience, applying to do medicine at trinity, as i am thinking of doing the exact same thing and would really appreciate your advice
