Hey
(This thread may still remain on applications/ucas-sorry)

SO, is there anybody else applying for this 'awesome' subject? So far it looks like its only me and a friend of a friend. PLease let me know if i am going to be the lone fresher this year

[paneity]

The average entry is 25, and 60 odd people applied in 2007, so I wouldn't worry. For such a niche subject, you'd be unlikely to know anyone on the course beforehand.

I would have loved to have done it.

Out of interest, why didn't you??

I found History more comprehensive and covering a wider range of my interests. Incidentally I have chosen a British History paper that covers the Anglo-Saxon, Celtic & Norse course in a much condensed version. Plus, Oxford is much closer to London's airports.

PS, why am I not in your spoiler ?

If you have any questions about applying, message me! ASNAC is absolutely awesome, and we do have some great social events (more exciting than a Scandinavian slideshow, anyway). I'm the Access Officer on the ASNAC committee anyway, so it's actually my job....

[epitome]

I've no idea how or why, but the ASNaC community is one of the best.

[neebo]

Soooo is anyone else applying for ASNaC 2009/2010 deferred entry?

[ellie_flower]

OK
I've been asked to send in two essays to camrbridge. i'm applying duringmy gap year so it isn't like I'm producing essays. I have 3 'excellent' essays, two of which I would feel a lot better talking about.

I am applying for ASNAC, and they have asked for either a literary, history or linguitsics essay. The three i have are hist, philosphy of hist and world literature. I would feel most confident talking about hist and philosphy of hist, but my literature essay is far better.

Please help: they are more likely to give me an offer based on a great interview and one good and one excellent essay, than with 2 great essays anda ightly stumbing intreview?

need advice urgently! Thanks

[LH123]

I would have thought they will ask you about your submitted work so it is probably better to hand in the ones you feel comfortable talking about.

As far as I know they are not looking for a perfect piece of work, but one that will stigmatize discussion.

[ellie_flower]

they do; I alrwady had an interview last year and both were centered around my submitted work, it's just that with ASNAC Im not sure how happy they would be if i submitted 2 history essays as they want to see a broad range of knowledge etc. And the english essay is WAY way better. But then again out of my comfort zone...

[ellie_flower]

oh hey, my post was moved

[Haz1248]

I've an interview for ASNaC on Monday! Nice to see some sympathisers, I've had too many of the "you what?" answers when I tell people what I want to study...

[Haz1248]

Gonville and Caius, you? How was it/what did they ask you?

[Haz1248]

Anyone heard then?!

[Haz1248]

Yes, I have an offer! It'll come, don't worry!
