did you get an email from st john's regarding interview availability?

it was meant for only non-EU/EEA applicants though. I was very excited when I saw the email.

That's right, I almost forgot you were the chief stalker :biggrin:

assuming they interview 75% of applicants for your course and the percentage hasn't changed from last year for mine, there is a 56.925% probability you will))

Assuming we actually see each other during the interview period... (seeing as we're not at the same college :frown:

, although Univ would have been my 2nd choice if I could have one)

keine ahnung sorry xD

how do you know all the answers are right :colone:

(of course you do, you're amazing :emo:

)

Oh, I don't know at all, it's probably all completely wrong, but I feel it is too late in the day to worry about such eventualities :tongue:

I still have no idea what they mark on - there are so many different equally valid translation possibilities: what are they actually looking for?! Do they want literal translations or do they want us to use our initiative? You see, I don't bother thinking about grammar, I just obsess about the examiner's mental state :tongue:

I have also got a weird bee in my bonnet about irregular Konjunktiv forms... like, did you know that the Konjunktiv II of schwimmen is technically SCHWÖMME? With an Ö?! Ich schwömme deutlich lieber, wenn das verdammte Verb regelmäßig wäre. :colonhash:

I'm glad I've finally found people who are pro-fountain pen :biggrin:

This is my favourite fountain pen (even though I rarely use it) simply because it was my great-grandmother's. This is an heirloom. People will not be handing down their bics through the generations!

Ahh it's lovely! :lovedup:

Writing that's come out of a fountain pen is just that much more panacheful... :biggrin:

Thank you

I totally agree. Writing in biro cannot possibly rival fountain pens. They automatically make your handwriting more pretty :love:

It's Maths and CS. I looked up Computer Science and Philosophy in the undergraduate courses page and there wasn't mentioned anything about the percentage so I assumed it's 75%. :s-smilie:

For 2010: 0.73*0.53 = only 38.7% chance :mad:

Yeah, we have even decided the place where the ghosts of C.S. Lewis and Tolkien will keep our company. Maybe uncover a crime or two, what do you say? :wink:
