Got an interview on the 15th with Dr Emma Hunter and Dr Andrew Bell! So excited.


I'm afraid I don't really know either of them; as far as I know Dr Hunter isn't part of the ASNaC department, and I've only had one lecture by Dr Bell. He seemed really nice though!

It'll be such a tough decision for them then! Good luck, my competition...

Hi Guys Nimrod100's mum here, Nimrod is in Cambridge today so I am stalking her page :colondollar: Good luck to all of you, just relax and enjoy the day, and remember ASNaC's are special people who else is going to put themselves through 3 years of obscure languages!

They were pictures from an Anglo-Saxon religious book.
Hello, I haven't posted on here before but did anyone else get an offer?
Hi! I know this thread is a bit dead, but I'm planning on applying for ASNC in October, entry 2017, Trinity college. I love medieval history and literature (literature in general, really), and also studying languages so this seems like the perfect course for me. I visited Cambridge in October and met some DoSs and current students, I'm also reading a lot (just finished the Mabinogion and Ganz's Early Irish Myths and Sagas, starting on Tolkien's Beowulf with commentary on advice of various people I met there) and teaching myself welsh, with a gaelic course on Skye lined up in the summer. I'm predicted 3As at A level.

Does anyone have any advice? Thank you!

I got an offer to do ASNAC at St Catharine's, but so far I haven't been able to find anybody else who's received an offer for ASNAC.
