Ok, quick question. I'm applying for 2013 to Cambridge/Oxford, UCL, Warwick and another two. Should I add to my PS that I was the leader of the team which represented my school at Junior Achievement Romania: Banks In Action?

Bit early to be writing a personal statement no? You haven't even sat your AS exams yet...

Well, I was watching it late at night on a plane so I might be wrong, but it seemed cheesy and generally quite a boring critique of bankers' lifestyle. Acting wasn't exceptional, though I expected Spacey to pull it. The only thing that surprised was how much the junior analyst actually earns...

I'd rather recommend Moneyball, statistics in action! :smile:

Also Drive is really good, probably film of the year for me, but I haven't seen the acclaimed 'The Artist'.

Warwick, ucl, bath and Nottingham, chasing gap year schemes now though, what about you?

By the way everyone, I thought margin call was pretty good :P

I don't take A-levels. I take Romanian Baccalaureate in my country. I didn't start writing my PS yet, was just curious if writing that down would be a good idea.

Sure why not :P

Thanks.

Nope, but considered HKU for a while...

Most of it is fictionalised apparently though :tongue:

yay fellow oxbridge rejectees. I think Tacteco is in the same position but he was pooled at Cam, so don't you worry emily... becca... whatever you name is :dontknow:
