Cambridge Offer Holders 2015 thread

:lol: 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


Yeah, I'm probably the same way. I think I did a lot less revision than most people would expect for any of my exams. However, I anticipate my ability to get by on just being smart will instantly disappear at Cambridge, where most people will be way more intelligent than I, and hard work is what gets you the grades. 2.1 is the magic classification, so there's something to work hard for. I want to get into good habits right ASAP to be honest.

I do think that working hard and revising will be easier when the material is much more challenging 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.


Yeah. Cba with my family adding me (my family + facebook = drama), and if I rejected them, they wouldn't be happy either. Also, I've just never cared enough.

If there are any Philosophy offer-holders lurking come and join the thread, I don't know anyone else who has one! :frown: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=503648&page=39



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.

History probably needs learning the facts though! Whereas science you can kind of blunder through if you have a bit of logic

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!!


Hey Congratulations! I'm a girl waiting to hear where i've been fished, did you get an email from murray? I applied for history too, it sounds like newnham and murray have been emailing about history but I haven't heard from them.... i wonder if i got in there

Yeah I suppose but while I was waiting for the last two days I kept telling myself "I don't care if they make my offer 5A*s I'll manage" so not going to complain now! That further maths A* tho :colondollar: Maybe cause I mentioned Maths B during interview...

Do you have mocks tomorrow as well?
