Vincrows, many thanks for the info and for your kind words. Also for your support to all the applicants on here. Is very much appreciated.

How far is Homerton from Sidgewick? Is the location of Homerton really that bad?

Yes I am! Been studying it for about four years now, though the programme in school sucks balls so I've been on-and-off self studying it for about two years now, which has helped me achieve an okayish level of reading but I'm still terrible at speaking

just butting in to this conversation because I saw the word Hamilton!! My favourite is probably Non-Stop because ahhh it's just amazing and the end of it is so great with the mash up of loads of other songs

My mum has also promised me Hamilton tickets for my birthday as it's coming to the UK this year!!

Its hard to study Mandarin as a second language for sure, scientists have found you language abilities deterioates with age, however its even worse for Mandarin, because it is a tonal language and when you grow up you loose the ability to differentiate the different tones in Mandarin. So I think its amazing ur studying chinese tbh. I'm studying French and hoping to be fluent before my oral exam lol, and I hope to study spanish and Korean in the future ))

Thank you! and NEVER scare me like that again hahaha

See it as training for when you walk into your JCR at 10pm and all you see is a horror film playing on all the TVs

got an offer from pembroke for mml (german and russian)!!!!! i'm over the moon i really didn't know how the application went but i couldn't be more thrilled

Nothing can compare to the fear of losing all hope upon reading someone like you got rejected

Haha, thank you. And I'm completely tone deaf lol--I can follow when someone is speaking HSK oral exam-level slowly, but when they go at a natural pace I might only get a few words per sentence

Will have to see how much free time I'll have to continue my studies in Cambridge (and if I'll stop being too shy to practise with people haha)

Ooh, good luck with your French! We had to study it for three years in school but I dropped it after that and have forgotten almost everything since then haha

Haha I'm not brilliant by any means, this was my second time applying after all. Also I got a C in my EPQ

Thank you! Practice makes perfect! IF (IF) I get in, you can practice with me lol. And no matter what university I go to I do hope I'll have some free time......

And thank you!
