So glad to find someone else!! XD I know that there'll only be one other student on my course, but I was starting to worry that there was no one else in my year! =L

Vet medicine, my offer's AAA. Since I live in Scotland, I'm doing Advanced Highers not A levels, so I didn't have exams recently. This year I'm studying Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Spanish. How were your exams?


Ah yay!! :biggrin:

My exams were fine thanks..all nicely on track..just can't wait to go now!! Snap with Biology. I do Psychology, Sociology, English Lit/Lang and Film Studies.

I've only got another 3/4 people doing PPS and haven't found them yet but I hope a few of them that I saw during the interviews got in. They were so lovely :smile: Yay, so happy to talk to you!!We've both got nice offers too :smile:

Glad to talk to you too :smile:
And my offer is nice, but I think that part of the reason for that is that in Advanced Highers they don't do A*s (partly because Advanced Highers are a bit harder than A levels). However, they do have A band 1's, which are roughly equivalent, though they don't show up on your certificate and you need to ask your school whether you got an A band 1 or 2.
That said, I do have a friend with a harsh offer from Imperial: 2 A band 1's and 2 A band 2's so I think I got away quite lightly!
So why did you choose Sidney?

Oh my, wouldn't it be creepy if you WERE the only person in your year? :O You go to Cambridge and you're the only fresher and all the 2nd and 3rd years look at you in a strange way xD
How psycho-thriller would that be? :P

Exactly how I feel! =L

hahaha, I'm trying to enjoy the happiness of having received an offer while it lasts... Right now it's one of the things that is keeping me motivated at school :smile:

Hi to you too, my offer's for maths. I would ask you what your subject was, but I've already read just up the page that it's vet med... :tongue:

That would be very awkward indeed! =L
But according to the admissions office, there is one other ved med student in my year. All they would tell me is she's female and from northern ireland but she doesn't seem to be on tsr =(

Me too =s I keep telling myself that I can make my offer, but can't help worrying anyway. But an offer at Cambridge is a hell of a good motivation! =D

Which college and which subject is your offer for?

So glad other future Sidney students exist, was starting to feel a bit lonely =P
So what conditions do u have? Mine is AAA (scottish advanced highers, so no A*'s).

Hold on, I don't remember this, you have a broomstick... :lolwut:


If only this was the first time I've paid for a ride on someone's broomstick... :frown:


Original post by Jing_jing
It's just a temporary broomstick, I don't enjoy riding that much :tongue:

Ah, it's okay, I guess when your own broomstick is inadequate that's what you have to do!


I think I will lend you two 2 of my broomsticks so you can fly to here to chat instead of turning the 2012 applicant thread into a chat thread on an unrelated topic :tongue:

I remain technologically uncomfortable within this field. Is Skype purely video chat?
No offence Portella, but you got owned. Wanna be History buds in October, comrade_jon?

Nah, just messaging. I mean, you can video chat/ voice chat, we just aren't :tongue:
The ones doing HP innuendoes on the other thread are in it too.

Sounds good to me. If you're in on this Skype nonsense then I will discuss it all there, if not send me a PM :biggrin: I've had to pick my papers so would be interesting to see what you've picked
