The Cambridge 2013 Results Day Discussion Thread

Depends - what sort of facts?
I'd hope so. I'm looking forward to becoming even more sleep deprived

The 4th of January I think! I'm so glad our college emails in the morning of results day, I don't think I could have waited until the Tuesday when the letter finally came! How about you?

I see. That seems logical. I am also undecided about my course, but my family is so excited that I got in (much more so than I am it must be said) that I feel as if it would be rather difficult to reject Cambridge.

Still, I could always purposefully miss the req. grades for Cambridge and get for my insurance offer instead. In fact that could be rather interesting/ fun.

Same here. Literally the best thing about getting an offer from Cambridge was seeing my parents so happy. While it isn't my favourite school or course among those that I applied (and got in) to, I'm pretty sure I'll be going there if I meet the offer - not that I don't want to; I'm very glad/grateful for the offer, just not as much as my parents are xD

I couldn't purposefully miss the required grades though; I'd find that humiliating (since people are so excited for me to go there :P) and worse than rejecting the offer.

Hey guys! I've got a few questions here, hope you can help me with it!

1. Does Cambridge allow retakes? What if I've already met the minimum conditions for the grade but I just want to perfect the scores?

2. When will the colleges send us details on accommodation?

3. Will a college ever revise the offer requirements? E.g. from A*AA to A*AAA / A*A*A?

Thank you!!!

You're the kind of person who doesn't deserve an offer.

I am as deserving as everyone else who got an offer

No one from my school has ever had an offer from Oxbridge nor have they had an interview; will this benefit my application?

Anyone looking to join the Arab Society? (weird question, I know)

Often obscure things to do with language/history/literature/science... so anything really
I'm not, I need my sleep! Luckily my college doesn't have a 24 hour library which I hope will push me to procrastinating less...

Haha I see xD

Well I meant that sarcastically... kinda. Well, that's one way of looking at it. To be honest, i'm under the impression that once I get to uni I'll be so motivated because... well, it's uni, it's cambridge, and it's my subject. I'm probably totally wrong and end up in the library till 4am because I procrastinated the day before, though (Some of us actually do have the privilege, or displeasure, of having a 24hr library... D: )

I've sort of realised that if I don't stop procrastinating now though, I'll probably miss my offer... so from Easter onwards I think i'll start blitzing through revision. Given how cold they say it's gonna be, I don't mind all that much XD

Hi everyone! I just got accepted into Fitzwilliam! Very happy

A*A*A offer here... The A*s are in Maths and Further Maths, probably deserve it though... Took me 20 seconds and my interviewer pointing it out that -2 = 0 is obviously wrong. Oops! For Clare though, not St John's

did you get step as part of it, and if so what were your step offers

Hey, thank you! No thankfully STEP wasn't part of my offer
