It's all too easy to get carried away with the prospect of Oxbridge and then mess up the exams! I like to have something to work for though. It gives me a great boost to think that I'm working to try and get into a university in a place that i love!

Hopeful Physical Natsci! Not entirely sure on the college yet, although I have a short-list of Clare, Caius, Jesus and Pembroke at the moment I'll be at the open day on the 3rd though, so that I can choose between them! I can't wait to actually visit Cambridge - it looks so amazing.
Also I really do need to start think about writing my PS - that's the bit which I'm most worried about. Also some of the questions on the SAQ need a fair bit of thought.
Anyway, this thread has motivated me to get off of my extended revision break. See you all later!

It seems that there are no other prospective History applicants yet (). Let it stay that way.

This is too early and just panics me further.

I may be taking a gap year and applying next year however as I've been doing no revision that's unlikely to happen.

Anyone want to do maths at Trinity? I chose it cos it's old, large and not too expensive (originally going for St John's before I saw the average weekly rent).

Heh, guess it's still early days. Still, doesn't feel like it's only 6 months before the applications start.
