Cambridge Applicants Game 2011

Can I suggest that the choices are made anonymous? So instead you just have a list of people that have taken part in the competition rather than including what people have chosen. Otherwise it does seem a bit ostenatious Or at least include spoilers or something?

yeah, this does work better anon. it's pretty interesting to play and certainly will be reassuring for the few who do find themselves opening rejection letters in january- they'll have the consolation of knowing that to somebody, they were an absolute safe bet! it's so important to bear in mind that offers are subjective and just because cambridge don't have a place for someone, this doesn't mean another excellent uni won't fall in love with their application and want to make them the easiest offer ever.

i had trouble narrowing my list down to 5. some have immaculate grades, some show incredible passion for their subject and some... i just think they'd take to cambridge like a duck to water. i've tried to be fair and not just limit myself to people i've spoken to at length/ met in person and particularly liked, however everyone will be a little biased i guess. the better you know someone, the stronger an opinion you can form about them

but gah, there are so many people on here who deserve offers

I think that by doing that I may have made some omissions I am feeling pretty bad about, because there are certainly more than five people on here I am fairly confident will get an offer.

Someone predicted me, I'm honoured, I hope I don't let them down!

What about somebody that's been on the thread once in the past but isn't a regular?

Yeah that should be ok.

BTW, how is revision for Jan exams going? did you find that thread with the C3 paper?

Yeah, found the C3 paper in the end. Funnily enough, C3 is the least of my worries. I'm more worried about Econ Unit 3 and S1!

What about you? How's the revision going?

Not sure about Econ, but I can tell you that S1 isn't that bad! Its practically just a paper full of number crunching with some probability (which I found the most interesting bit )

This Christmas, actually at my tutors house doing all my work, as he can help me with Physics and also I get less distracted. But apart from that, revision is going well!

Heard from Nottingham yet by any chance?

Someone predicted me, I'm honoured, I hope I don't let them down!

I hate probability! But yeah, S1 as a whole isn't too bad.

Nottingham are gonna be the last uni to get back to me. They said that Law applicants won't hear until February.

Three people think that I'm going to get an offer?!? I'm glad that somebody believes in me, but I fear that you may be disappointed.
