The Official 2017 Cambridge Applicants Thread [part 3]

Ah okie, just not sure whether to expect an email or letter first

Does anyone know what time the emails will come through tomorrow?

I feel like 80% of biology applicants mention either crispr or Dawkins in their personal statements

Hey, hey, it's the only alcoholic thing in my house barring Moet and Lidl vodka... plus I'm a 5'3 female, one glass and Cambridge is waaay outta my mind

I'm hoping Catz email offer holders as well, just so I know my destiny is not confirmed when an email pops up.

If you are fished (i.e. offered) the fishing college will give you the decision. Your original college *might* send (or post) a "good luck at [fishing college]" note a bit later. If you are pooled but released back into the wild your original college will give you the news, and tell you you were pooled unsuccessfully.

Hey guys does anyone know how long I should wait before giving up on hearing back from Cambridge today. I can't stop checking checking my email every five minutes... 😭😩 I just want to go to sleep...

As the Oxford thread dies down here's my memorial to the fallen including myself: There's a grief that can't be spoken. There's a pain goes on and on. Empty chairs at empty tables Now almost all applicants are rejected and gone. Here we talked of offers/rejection. Here it was we lit the flame. Here we sang about tomorrow And tomorrow never came......... Posted from TSR Mobile

I need to rep you when I get on the website.
This post. Is everything.

I want to start getting excited for another uni if I get rejected.

What happens when you genetically modify lettuce?

It becomes CRISPR.

I prepared this joke for my NatSci Bio interview incase there was a situation where I had to tell a biology joke relevant to my personal statement...

Anytime between 8:30-ish to late afternoon/early evening.
They are sent manually, one-by-one, by a very small number of admission staff (usually one....) , starting from lemails to international candidates. Not all colleges sent email to uk candidates Andy if they do, it'll be after international candidates.

bruh if Girton gives me an offer I'll buy myself a second bike to celebrate

David Attenborough, is that you?



I made a countdown clock for you (for 9am 12th Jan GMT) because that crying emoji tugged at my heartstrings. It's linked at the end of this post



I'm sobbing in French

Countdown clock for 9am tomorrow (for emails)

It's a university-wide "proclamation".
