Cambridge Offer Holders 2015 thread

Start consistent work on revision a couple weeks before Easter, and you'll probably be 100% fine. Probably overkill, but it could be worth getting used to overkill, as Cambridge will be hard.

I know I'm gonna suck on my mocks, as I've done no revision at all really, but for the real ones, I'm aiming to do loads (not usually my style, but I want to get used to it).

That's too much effort... People think I must do so much work, but I'm a lazy mother ****er. I just can't bring myself to do anything because I j think I know it anyway.

Hmmm... I suppose you have a point. I cba for mocks, because they don't mean anything. Before FP1 exam I hadn't looked at actual content since I did the past papers in holidays, although that should be an A,dont need high UMS in that lol. According to me

-lnx-2=0
Gives x = e^2 lol

Haven't done a Chem paper yet...mock for that is tomorrow, I did start one

If today's mocks were anything to go by... Not getting into Cambridge :mmm:

You'll be fine. :biggrin:

I'm feeling kind of smug that my school doesn't do mocks, but at the same time they'd probably be kind of useful... :colondollar:

Don't have facebook :/
Besides, if I did, my friends would all probably blast me for joining a Cambridge group (you can't hide your groups, right?) :laugh:

Thanks for the invite though.

Oh, you're one of those. :eek:

Nah, you can completely customise what your friends see. That doesn't mean that Facebook isn't an evil, information-mongering corporation though lol.

I didn't get pooled but when I got my offer letter it said join the official offer holders group 2015 on Facebook - there isn't one 😂 I feel sorry for murray edwards, I chose it first time and loved it! Annoys me about the snobbery of some people already on the general offer holders page, I actually preferred it to the older more traditional colleges which is why I applied :P

I'm waiting to fail a mock (like idk, a C or less) so I can j be like... Well Cambridge thought I was worthy so I will not be defined by exams.

Idk, they'd probably be useful nearer the time. Not now though

I feel sad because no-one has made a Murray Edwards offer holders Facebook group because like only 10% of people actually apply direct to there and the other 90% get pooled so it's sort of like meh all girls college, but that might just be me haha. I would make the group myself, but I somehow feel like it'll jinx it so like then awkward if I don't get the grades... :colondollar:

Hey! I've been pooled to MEC for History - but honestly, after researching it I'm soooo happy. It looks really friendly, really good facilities and food/accommodation sound so much better than my previous preferred college :smile:

Hopefully see you in March for the open days! P.S. Please make a facebook page!!

I was shocked at first too but being around cool, empowered girls sounds awesome! We get an identical education (which is most important) to mixed colleges and see boys/other girls from other colleges whenever we want but have the bonus of choosing that! :biggrin:

Just found out I was the only successful Oxbridgian in my school. It's bittersweet as there's no one to celebrate with. :frown:

Lmao same! The only offers I've heard about at my school are LJMU.

I'm kind of the same, except I only got my grades last year by relentless revision, so my failure to actually revise doesn't really bode well... uh oh.

Exactly

it isn't like a convent or anything ahaha, you have lectures with everyone else anyway! It's so so friendly as well, I'm too much of a stress head to psychologically deal with being in a big grand mahogany furnished (stereotype I know) place all the time so it was perfect for me :biggrin:

I Googled LJMU; what's relevant about this random Liverpool uni and how can it be the only place someone from your school's got an offer from? :laugh:

Literally the same! I didn't look around any and just picked the college I stayed at on the Shadowing Scheme - in reality if I had I would have chosen MEC :smile:

I wouldn't study well somewhere imposing/grand and think I'll work better somewhere relaxed and friendly! You're with everyone else for societies/clubs and we can go to Ents and Formals at other colleges. Plus they have this really cool 60s Garden party/Apple day/Saturday Brunch which is apparently really popular with other colleges :smile:

Genuinely think it will be so much fun!

It's just a popular one for my school! Lmao I'm not sure to be honest, we aren't a high-ranking sixth form.
