Nope, were you there on the 7th by any chance?


The 12th, did you hear about current students dressing as Etonians trying to put off pupils waiting in the Marshall room by intimidating them/making up Cambridge stereotypes.

I pretty sure it was on one of the earlier interview dates

All the Magdalene fishes still swimming? Wondering when they'll start breaking the bad news...


Not sure I would describe myself as managing to stay afloat but I'm still here. I emailed them and asked for news but have had no reply :frown:

I'm sure it's not a fair representation of every pupil there! Shame I wasn't there, at least I could have claimed my interview was compromised.

Its been so quiet since Monday that I can't help but feel that the next few days will see the brutal culling begin.

Yep they rang me on Saturday afternoon to say they'd like to give me an offer for engineering :smile: but they said they would send me the details but still haven't :frown: is anyone in the same situation?


Do you mind sharing some details about your A Level subjects and UMS averages? and what college you originally applied to?
I'm also an Engineering applicant who's been pooled, and still waiting!

Magdalene friend, I just checked last year's thread, it looks like they were one of the last to communicate, and also their rejections came through the post. There were also a few people who emailed them and were ignored (as I have been so far.)
Yay.

I spoke to 2 international students at my interview, one from Greece and one from Argentina any chance you're one of the two I spoke to (this will be mildly embarrassing if not) in the Marshall room.

Haha the one from Greece :biggrin:, I remember you, although I only saw three other people that day so that's not surprising.
Any other English lit fishes on this thread??
Dear fishies, I have been lurking and making myself crazy reading this thread, and I am just the parent of a little fish (pooled from Clare CompSci, not heard anything yet). My little fish is too nervous to even look at this thread. Good luck to all of you! I really enjoyed all the fishy puns yesterday.

:smile:, how did you find the Physics based interview? The interviewers kept sighing at me and I lost the will to live. (The other two guys in Maths I thought were friendly and encouraging)
