I applied for Music at Sidney Sussex and got pooled, but I was fished by Churchill today. These past few days have been incredibly stressful. Good luck to all of my fellow fish!

why is getting pooled from queens' particularly a massive achievement? that's where i applied, i just though a pool was a pool haha?

have you also been pooled for interview at Murray Edwards from Queens Bionatsci? I think it's an achievement as so many people apply to queens' so a small amount are pooled...? And it shows you are of 'cambridge standard', very few people are reinterviewed as it is

Yes and no, it would be funny to say I got fished by Jesus when people ask me about Cambridge, but I just really want to get fished :frown:

I only did 4 before hand and then 1 more in the interview, now you just made me really nervous.

I also got pooled by Trinity for maths - no news yet.

Does anybody know how many problems people who got into Churchill solved at the interview?

I don't do geography but could you not say that shoppers are like people migrating from the EU, any £s spent is there contribution to society if they come to work and the goods purchased is money sent home? As I said working of geography GCSE but just curious if this could be near correct...

That would be okay for GCSE level, I started talking along those lines but he steered me towards talking about the financial crisis and how this affected migration into/out of the UK and consequently what effect this had on supermarkets.

Hey guys, Downing pooled me for Economics on Friday and just emailed me today saying that they will offer me a place anyway! Really weird, but so thrilled!

Best of luck everyone!

Could we get a letter tomorrow saying we've been fished or is it more likely by email/phone?
