Got an interview at Cambridge (on 13th Dec), but no offers :frown:

That doesn't sound particularly fair! Yeah, I did the SMC; found out my results today :smile:

Where have you applied? It sucks, I know someone with 5 offers now! Sweet, how did you do? And I guess all of those things could have easily been avoided by myself so I guess it's my fault lol, how are you preparing for interview and stuff then :smile:

I have new levels of hate for spam-mail. I'm constantly going "oooh, email. Perhaps it's an offer"

I have seen that haha. There are some funny email addresses one including 'midget gem'. Could be a tad awkward if thats yours and your name is Midget Gem haha...

I'm not midget gem. TRL are kind of my initials so you could work it out if you were super logical! I do like midget gems though....

Anyone qualify for BMO1? My school just got the results back but they haven't told us yet... people in close cahoots with Maths teachers are rumouring who got Best in School. Just shows how geeky my school can be :tongue:

Does anyone know what BMO1 is like? What kind of marks are expected :s-smilie:

Yeah, got the confirmation today that I'm doing it and its my 1st time as well :biggrin:

but I am really, really worried that this will be the first Maths test ever in which I score zero!

I doubt many people will have made the effort to go to California.

I've applied to Cambridge, Imperial, Warwick and UCL, and have still left a last choice blank as I'm still not sure about it! I think it's going to end up as Bristol, or maybe Kings, or possibly LSE.

Did okay - got 80 marks, which is only just a gold! I was hoping for BMO though... Its a bit gutting actually, 'cause after the solutions were published, I realised that there were two questions that I'd got the right answer for but put down the wrong letter, and another which I got wrong due to a small arithmetic mistake :doh:

Ah well, no time to dwell on it :biggrin:

Preparation? Um... STEP papers, BMO problem books and generally reading round the subject a little. Also rereading the books that I put down on my PS; some of them I'd read over a year ago! How about you? And what did you get on the SMC? :tongue:

Well done! :biggrin:

Thank you

How's the workload at Kings?

Haha, at least it wasn't spam from UCAS "Share your views on the future of university admissions". As soon as I saw UCAS I thought ooh offer :s-smilie:

It's unfortunate that it actually corrected it to another university.

How was it?

I got the STEP/AEA offer from Bath :biggrin:

It's probably going to be my first choice as well so I'm absolutely delighted!

i just wrote combinatronics, modular arithmetic and probability.

I am a bit worried about what to write down. Do you think these are what the questions will be based on or will we be expected to talk about such topics and what we know of them?
