Cambridge 2011 Freshers Chat Thread

Yeah, that's my offer. Joy of joys. But my school can't do anything for STEP, so I'm hoping to get an invite to this Easter STEP malarkey

What date was your interview? Mine was the 9th December - it's weird to think that I might actually have met some of these people already and just not have noticed

I was on the 10th. Luckily, my school can give me a hand with STEP, but I'm sure you'll be okay, it's not exactly the kind of stuff you can be taught anyway

Yep it was! A*AA. Am so happy!

Well I'll see you there in October then
What was your offer?

Same I was so shocked when I saw the letter! I was sure I'd messed up my first interview!

Wow well donee! I've got an offer to read Law as well but from Corpus!! What are the conditions??

Maybe see you next year!

I'm doing IB instead of A-levels, and they asked for 41 points and 7,7,6 in my highers

In their prospectus, however, they'd said between 40-42 points, so at least they didn't ask for 42!

Super-stressed right now!

How about you? What grades did they ask you for? Did you get pooled into Corpus or was that your chosen college?

Ahh that sounds hard yeah, could be worse then I guess!!

My offer is A*AA so it should be okay if everything goes to plan

Aww don't get stressed, just thimk of how lucky we are

Corpus was my chosen college so I'm really happy about that!

Ah it's good that you ended up where you wanted as well! Congratulations and good luck! And definitely hope to be seeing you there next year! eek! x

Ahwell at least it's the same college!!
What are your conditions? and more importantly, feeling good about the offer?

Well it looks like you didn't Mine was all a bit of a blur to be honest. When was your interview?

OMG offer for Economics at St john's anyone else???

MathBoy has an offer for A*AA + Step grade 1 x2
His offer EXCLUDES his Maths grade. This seems a bit odd - anyone else come across this? Presumably they are wanting him to demonstrate that he can cope with 3 A levels at once (he has already done 5/6 Maths A level modules and will do the last one in a few weeks time).
A deep air of gloom is pervading the household.

9th December, how about you?

Sounds a bit unusual, but I guess it's because he's already done 5/6 modules, and if he's done well in the previous 5, he may already be guaranteed an a/a*. The STEP condition is fairly standard, and although the rest of the offer is a little harder than most, STEP is, and will remain, by far the hardest part of the offer, so I wouldn't fret too much about the other conditions. May I ask which college this is for, which maths modules have been done, what the marks were, and if there is any particular reason for the offer e.g. young applicant/CSAS? Having said all this, it could just be a typo, and it is probably worth consulting the college admissions office
EDIT: There also appears to be a rather large elephant in the household, which is that he did get an offer, so i don't really understand the gloom!

I got an offer Medicine at Emmanuel.

A*AA for any of my A2 subjects.

I'm an international student. Anyone else going to Emma?

23rd November. Seems a very long time ago now!

Hello fellow Christ.. uh... fellow Christee? Fellow Christ person?
Well hello, anyway!

It was A* AA... I still can't really believe it! I'm waiting for them to email me and tell me it's not true and they emailed me by mistake :P But I'm excited! And scared, and nervous, all at the same time

What are your conditions? How do you feeeeel?
Well I hope to see you next october
