Has everyone's track updated?
I'm starting to worry that the offer letter might have been a mistake :|
Cambridge don't make mistakes though right :wink:

Mine hasn't, and I know another Magdalenite whose hasn't.

Yeah, never had any worries before I got my offer and for some reason I'm now terrified.

I always had it in my head that I'd get at least A*AA and probably more, for some reason my confidence has dropped dramatically...

Yeah I think I can get A*AA possibly? But they specified the subject for the A* as either English and Drama so now I'm worried cos it's the other two I thought I could get an A* in.... :frown:

not fun!

Thanks, hopefully i'll see you there next year. Just the small matter of getting that S,1 in step!
Have to say i dont know much about the college cos they fished me out the pool today, but it looks good in the pictures :smile:

You'll be fine, they wouldn't give you the offer if they didn't think you could make it :smile:

Definitely see you there :smile:

Subject: Engineering
pooled from: Churchill
Fished by: Jesus (lol, Jesus saved me this time)
By post, and it was just yesterday! I have been feeling so anxious a whole week!

But dont know why, my offer is A*A*AA, as so many ppl's offers are just A*AA.
Is that because i've dont my Maths alevel in my first year so they think it would be too easy if the conditional offer is just 2A?
This moment I start worrying about my A* . S:

Same course, same college as me. :tongue:

Well done.
Does your country have any kind of bursaries for higher education / university abroad? I know mine has some that I could apply for, but I'm in the EU so I have home fees anyway.

EDIT: you have good taste. :wink:

Same, this should be a confidence booster but I just don't want to be 'the kid who got in, and then didn't.'

Good luck! :smile:

Hey ho

Name: Irfan
College: Selwyn
Subject: Engineering
Offer: A*AA (A* from F.Maths or Physics, A in Maths)

I was terrified all through Christmas. And now I'm worried about that A* - but oh well, just continue as normal I suppose!

I can't help but feel sad though for the other engineer applicants from my school (which normally has a good track record), hell, some of them I'm sure were better than me :s-smilie:
