Emmanuel College (Cambridge) Students and Applicants

Nah, there are only about 17 of them I think and they always go to to finalists. There's some more third year accommodation where you get a bedroom and living room, but not on the same scale as the New Court rooms For interview you're likely to be in North Court or South Court, which are first year accommodation (well, North Court has people from various years but it's about half first years...).

Well that's too bad.. haha.

I presume we only find out which rooms we are in when we arrive for interviews? Will you or anyone be in Emma on the 13th by any chance?

I'm really hoping that we find out what room we get next week when they tell us whether they'll be giving us accommodation or not but I fear they probably won't.

Yeah I doubt so too!

What are you applying for and when is your interview?

Signatures disabled? I'm applying for Maths and my interview's on the 9th. How about you?

I have no clue about signatures :P

Law on the 13th. Why does everyone seem to be having their interviews on the 8th/9th and no one on the 13th!!

Don't worry, there'll be lots of people around. I say that but I am a bit worried about being all alone.

hi guys im a prospective medic applying to emma
just got an interview on 5th, anything to look out for?

I'm here on the 5th haha! Good luck. I'm a medic fresher at Emma currently.

Hi everyone I'm new to posting on TSR but I have a question about the accomodation for interviewees at Emma (I have an interview next week). Does anyone know if we'll have access to showers etc while we're there? It's such a silly question, but I really don't know where else I could ask! I'm travelling down the day before so I'd like to know if we can shower there.

OK, this question looks stupid written down, so I'm going to post it before I change my mind and delete it. Good luck to everyone with interviews

yeah, you'll have shower and toilet facilities

What are you applying for?

MML

Awesome. Any specific languages and when's your interview?

French and German (ab initio), and my interviews are Friday the 9th. I'm very excited because I get to stay in college accomodation

And you've applied for Math, right? How does one go about preparing for an interview in Mathematics?

I'll be staying in college on the 8th too!

Panic, relax and ream some more maths questions, panic when you can't do them, try to get advice from teachers, panic when you can't understand the advice. It's a lot of panicking and trying out questions. I do enjoy trying out new questions but there are things like proofs of certain well-known theorems that you just have to know. I mean, I can't really predict how it would be if they asked me similar questions in the interview because obviously they're there to assess my thinking and not whether I know the answer because I've seen it before. But I'm not sure how much help is too much help. Au bout du compte, il s'agit de trop de panique.

What about an interview for MML, is it all in another language?

For MML I'll be tested by speaking a bit in French, though I won't be able to do much at all in German as I know only basic 'tourist' language! I've been studying French history, literature, culture, politics, etc in preparation for my interview, alongside lots of grammar work (which I absolutely love! That is not sarcasm). I don't really like politics in any country but I figured I should know about it. For German I've been doing the same, though as an introductory thing. I do feel like I still have so much to do.
