Hi :smile:

I'm applying for Natural Sciences and am doing Biology, Chemistry and Maths A Level. I logged on to the applicant website thing (can't remember where I found my log in details tho) and it said they normally give interview offers in the second week of November - so shouldn't be long!

Any other NatScis??


Hi,

Good luck with the application process

Hello! I've also applied for Natural Sciencds (Biological), but I'm just kind of twiddling my thumbs waiting to hear if I've got an interview :/ could you send me the link to where you found the information about interviews? I couldn't find it anywhere.

Same - other colleges have just started giving interview invitations I think too!

They should have emailed you your log in details, which will be your ucas ID and some random code thing - log on here https://www.joh.cam.ac.uk/user

Click on "my homepage" in the top right and it has links to more information on interviews, written work and the admissions process :smile:

That's annoying! But I suppose for maths just revising all of your a level content and working on problem solving/harder problems is the best preparation.
Has anyone got any replies with regards to interview yet? I am soooooooooooo nervous !!!! 😭🤕😱

They said it should be the second week of Nov but I guess it's 3rd week this year..

Thank you! I was worried I was missing out on a useful source of information. In the meantime, UCAS keeps playing with my emotions by directing me to Track, just to look at useless pieces of information 😡

Hey everyone, just found this thread,

I'm applying to John's for HSPS, and was starting to get worried as half my friends (different colleges) have now been called to interview and I haven't. This thread is reassuring :')

How is everyone feeling so close to finding out about interviews?

Hi, welcome to the Johns thread

I am so nervous about hearing back from them. I hope it's good news for everyone.

Good luck 👍🏻

I'm the same as you tbh - I've only got one friend who's applied to Cambridge (History at Queens') and she found out last Thursday (my friend who's applied to Oxford hasn't heard anything but they do things differently there). I was hoping that I might get a letter or something today, but in vain! :frown:

And HSPS is such a cool subject - I did consider taking it myself and pursuing an anthropological route, but as you can probably tell from my username, my love of languages won out in the end!

They did, however the deadline for the Data Protection form was the 15th, which would indicate that interview letters will come out this week.

John's make us HSPS kids do 3 interviews and a timed test, although at this point I'd be happy to do 30 interviews because at least I'd know I have one lol

What languages are you focusing on?

As far as I am aware, it is both 😂
Hello everyone :smile:

I'm applying for Land Economy and I'm in the same boat as all of you - still no reply...

Excited for the coming weeks and possibly an interview! Maybe if we have our interview on the same day we'll be able to meet :smile:
