Edinburgh hasn't replied to me either yet, and it's my first choice for when Cam rejects me :angry:

Yes, just received my email from Cambridge, letting me know about the next masterclass. I think it must be them winding us up.....


Same! I think it gave me a mini stroke 😂

Why?


I really don't know. It's a perfectly good University, but I kind of wish I'd applied to UCL or Kings or something of the sort instead. I really liked the sound of it at the time but I've just gone off it since.

Unless you can persuade me :holmes:

Haha i'd like to exchange UCL for York for example.. I'm quite scared about the struggle to find accomodation in 2nd and 3rd year :s-smilie:

:lol: they're being such teases today, honestly. well, how were they? :tongue:
To get hyped about my other universities, I daydreamed about fully self-catered accommodation (which all my other Unis are and is one of the things I really wanted when applying) and that just shows that food is so important to me.

Just what I was thinking haha
And I got 219/230 points. 220 are required to get CEFR level C2 with grade A :colonhash:. Now I'm starting to really dread Thursday...


Eh at least it's still C2 :redface:

Depending on your course, Edinburgh appear to be moving on things now-ish... my daughter just got an offer from Edinburgh, late yesterday... so hopefully, your's will follow soon...

Cooking is definitely the way to go when it comes to healthy, affordable food in Cambridge. So many people I know in third year still can't cook for ****.

Decision letters are sent by first class post on the 11th to arrive (93% chance in the UK) on the 12th

Emails to non-UK students will be sent on the 12th.

Some colleges are emailing UK students on the 12th (which might not be finished until the 13th).

UCAS will update (probably) on the 13th.


weird question but do you know if the envelope has a cambridge label on it? Will I know what letter it is from the outside?

Cooking is one of the things that really excites me about university. Like...being able to choose portion size and WHAT I eat everyday (depending on my kitchen abilities)??? Brilliant. Not every having to go to the school canteen ever again. Food that's actually not made out of cardboard. Amazing.
