Applications per College

Thanks for your reply
I dont know defenately if i am to go for Biological or physical since i enjoy all my as levels, but i think i'll go for physical. However Biology keeps getting more interesting.
Yes my nickname is from the known brain part and again yes neuroscience sounds extremely interesting. i have searched some about it in the internet and my mother is a nurse in the neurosurgery ward of the hospital she works in!
by the way i am doing 4 a levels ( biology, chemistry, physics and Further mathematics as well as the Mechanics AS) . hope that will make me a potential cam student

Out of interest why are you doing Further Maths and not Maths? - or both? But either way yeh you're doing all the right subjects for NatSci at Cambridge I reckon!

You can switch sides anyway I'm pretty sure from Physical to Biological or vice versa, so it really doesn't matter tooo much which one you choose now. It's not set. And yeh I know the brain is great! - although I'm not sure how much I'd enjoy the physiology side of neuroscience I'll be starting the degree this Sep if I get the grades! - my sister is studying Neuroscience and Psychology and she says the core of it is physiology... which I don't actually like! - I'm more into the brain itself and how it affects psychology and the pathology of the brain, how it effects intelligence and human behaviour - and blah blah blah

So what options you thinking of taking for your first and second year then, if you get into Cambridge? - cus that was the first thing that really attracted me into applying (unfortunately rejected but hey!)

Hey, i am confused myself about maths. our teacher emailed London University and they didn't know if a combination of c1,c2,c3,m1,m2,m3 could stand as an a level . So i chose the safest way; i will do C1-C4 & FP1, FP2 to get Further Mathematics A Level and i am doing M1,M2,M3 which i will do in June in order to get Mechanics AS Level. ( so this summer i have to do all my as including c1,c2,c3).

I hope you get the grades for your course. You sound very interested in it and it would be a shame not to get involved.
If i get in Cam ( fingers crossed) i will chose Physics, Chemistry and Biology Of Cells which i guess are the most basic and then i ll see what i will proceed with.

First of all though i hope i get an offer or even a matriculate one haha!

Heya,
all i can say is that the admission tutor at Downing officially told me that this year Trinity got the highest number of applicants and then the second highest was Downing which is very surprising coz it's only a medium size college! as a result the competition there was really taugh and the admission tutor told me that for example for land economy there were 9.5 apllicants per place becoz they had 19 applicants and take 2 students yearly. 32 applicants for Geography and they made 6 offers. for engineering 99 applicants for 12 places. history around 50 for 6 places. 35 applicants and 6 offers for SPS. 20 people and 6 Classics students. i cant seem to find the number for law but it's pretty high coz Downing is reputed for law. well hope all these statistics will help

Yep, Dowing was HEAVILY over-subscribed this year. Not really sure why though - I found out the other day that it's bottom of the table for arts subjects...

not sure why???
beautiful college, great location, accommodation pretty much all on site.....
I dont know about arts specifically, but Cambridge has been 8th, 10th, 8th, 12th, 17th in the last 5 years of Tomkins Tables which are based on no of 1sts, 2:1s, 2:2s, 3rds. (this is out of 29)

law, an arts subject, is a particular strength, they have brilliant fellows inc the Rouse Ball professor for criminal law, the best stocked college law library and the biggest law intake.

Don't try to insult Dwoning in my hearing!

Eh?! Still suffering the effects of the wine, Alaric?

As quiet as me? Gosh I'm so shy and retiring. Priya too. Must be something about our flat.

I know, I only had half a glass remember, so I can still read. I was just asking whether you become as quiet as me when you're drunk. It was meant to be ironic. It clearly failed...

I have absolutely no idea how much relatively I was talking though, I've been accused of rambling by my mate's gf before and I think I might have been today, but if nobody else talks I always fill gaps anyway, so I dunno.

I don't think I could keep up with you and Priya though, you're pros.

i used to be the big talker at school *gives vicki evil glare of doom*
