Tbh there are so many posts on the whole Cambridge grades "am I good enough?" thing. The answer is almost always it's worth giving it a go. You have to have academics, extra curriculars in a wide range of interests, passion for your subject and a good application.

I do agree with the posts on here that taking extra grades shouldn't compromise the other things but I like my subjects and want to carry on with things that interest me.

Hello,

I'm hoping to apply to Cambridge to study History of Art and wondered whether anyone who is either studying the subject there or has friends studying the subject could give me an insight into what the course is like? Is it enjoyable and is it quite a demanding degree? Also, I wondered what professions you intend to go into after with the degree. Any insights would be very welcome.

In addition, I wondered what the extra-curricular art opportunities were like at Cambridge, if anyone has any experience. I have seen that there are societies at Christs as well at Kings (life drawing ones). Which one is better to attend?


Thank you

Hi guys,

I left school in June with 4 A levels, which i got A* A* A and B in, for History, Politics, English Lit. and Art, and started at a very well respected (within the top 10 in the country) uni.

However, I've been here a few days and I've realised I'm doing the wrong course, at the wrong uni, and I'm not enjoying it. Having worked in an antique shop over the summer I've realised I'd love to do a history of art degree, but the uni I'm currently at does a course too specific for me.

My question is will I be penalised by the admissions process for dropping out of university this year? Yes, I know its expensive to go this following September, but i'm not happy where I am, and I think its as big a waste of money to do a course I wont enjoy for 2 years as it is to reapply.

Thank you for your advice!

Anyone considering applying for 2013 entry around?

My friend has just been invited to Corpus Christi to attend an interview for History of Art, and I'm still waiting to hear from the college I've applied to (Kings). I wondered if anyone else applying as part of the 2013 cycle has heard from their college yet, or if they have applied to either of these colleges?
