Howdy all

Just gatecrashing to see if there are any future Valencians (Pembroke students, for the uninitiated) hanging around?

(Okay, yeah, I just wanted a break from revision :tongue:

)

You called? Prospective Pembroke mathematician here.

Hello there! :smile:

Nice to meet you :tongue:

I'm currently a 1st year lawyer so I don't imagine our paths will cross too often, but feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about stuff (preferably stuff I can answer :tongue:

)

Well, you never know! One of the good things about Pembroke from the times I visited (Open Day, Interview) was that everyone mixed together quite comfortably instead of being segregated to subject groups - when I was at interview I was taking to a group containing English, Music, Medicine and Natural Sciences. I have plenty of questions pertaining to Pembroke actually: :lol:

True that. I think people do mix a bit more at those kinds of events cause they don't have as much work to do, but yeah, I've got friends doing History, English, Engineering, Linguistics and Natsci.

I'll answer your questions in a PM to save cluttering up this thread :tongue:

You do the IB? Wow so nice to meet you! What was your exam? Mine was human rights on Tuesday and English today. What's your offer for Cambridge?

My first exam was English P1, second (later today) is English P2 and after that I'll be done with IB English :O

My offer is 41 with 7 in HL English and History and 6 in the remaining HL - which I guess is a pretty standard Cambridge offer, but ugh... D: Yours?

I finished English today too! I also finished human rights this week. My offer is 40 with 7,7,6 at HL. Mine are English history and biology. How are you feeling about it?

I'm sorry, if I'd have known I was applying to the same place as LotF I'd probably have reconsidered as well. :lol:

Were you in direct competition with us? (As in, is there a separate quota for Maths with Physics or does it count to the same one as straight Maths?)

Nope, direct competition! I got squeezed out, but only 2 miles out, so that's okay :wink:

I wonder how special he'll be when he's there. Above average obviously, but will they bat an eyelid?

We'll probably meet some 12 year old mastermind who destroys us all. :lol:
