good luck guys!
i graduated from cambridge this year; now working as a part 1 architect in london.

as for portfolio, just remember quality not quantity, anything that shows you can actually draw is good, and show a variety of media. photograph 3d work.

I got my interview today as well...but gahhh its 3rd Dec!!! scaryscaryscary
its so soon!
I'd love to stay at their accomodation, but they wrote that only if you REALLY REALLY need to between the dates 3-5th dec then you can. And I dont really. gutted, ah well never mind
i think i'll stay at their accomodation anyway cos my school is about 4 hours far to Cambridge....>0<

@ scarlet ibis

What sort of things did they ask you (if you can remeber) at your CAM interview. I really dont know what to expect, ive got a mock one at my school next week, but no one really has a clue about Architecture at my school.....

Cheers.

Heh, same, it seems to be like that almost everywhere..

that's the point of the interview ... you can never prepare for them .. you just got to live with it, you many collect bits of experience from the mock interview but i'd reckon you can't really do much more about that ..

i was a little worried about that .. but just by worrying about that don't make any difference ..

also they could ask any question .. if some one told you one questions that has been asked, then they has set a limit . i think we needs to think beyond the question

Good luck guys and gals (: Go in as confident as you can, smile, be generally nice... portfolio- know it well, really well... think problem solving... development... quality. It's your one chance so go for it! Nothing at all to loose (mmm... thats not meant to scare you...)

Oh and by the way I'm a first year Architect here in Cam.
