Cambridge Decisions 2015 - info and FAQ

Haha that's crazy, which course? I wouldn't let my friend apply to Christ's too...

I and 3 other friends all applied to christs, one for Natsci like me, so its not gonna be fun for any of us next week probably

Ultimately it's the subject DoS (Director of Studies) who decides, not admissions tutors.

By the way where did you find that out?

Were his stats as scary as yours?

Ah, hold on I'm wrong...

"De-selection decisions should be made in consultation with the relevant Director(s) of Studies, with the ultimate decision resting with the Admissions Tutor."

Consider that this article is written concerning invitation to interview not final decisions

This article shows a really scary focus on the school you go to... as someone who goes to a private school it makes it seem like a no mercy approach :s

Yeah that's the one! This is much more painful to read so close to the decision

Both my interviews were with DoSes. One I'm pretty sure I did well in - it's poetry! If I don't do well at poetry having been a poet for three years I'm a bit buggered - and the other not so well - I keep replaying it over in my mind - I'm so nervous.

It's a great article that makes me feel a bit sick - I go to a pretty good private school and so I'm scared they'll be harsher on me. Also, the 'individual modules' thing also makes me want to throw up a bit.

I just didn't like how that girl from a 'leading private school' had her years of hard work dismissed like that at all. It's an insightful article but it's made me feel 100000x more nervous, especially since in the context of my school my GCSEs are average so they might have a super harsh approach to me too

No, lower than yours, just short of auto pool, but he won't shut up about how his interview went really well which is annoying

ahaha thanks man, yours arent that different tbh I thought my interview was horribly average so im hoping for fished at best with the number of applicants - good luck, Im sure youll post on here the result but pm me otherwise, ill be interested in other christs natscis!

Ooh! It's now your duty to write us all a poem in this thread each day up 'til - and including - the 10th.

I don't go to a private school - but what I will say is that 100% UMS is rare wherever you go, I don't think academics will let you down. Anyone know how they regard state schools which only admit about a handful of applicants every couple of years?
