The Official Cambridge Offer Holders Thread 2017 Entry

This is a long shot, but is anyone here thinking of applying for a choral award/scholarship?

Blue, yes, my daughter is thinking of it.

Oh how lovely!!! For which college? Congratulations on her offer!

I know you aren't that's why I called you a MHoCer not a Labour Party member

I've actually never heard this song before

Massive congratulations to your daughter, Homerton is so lovely, I have an old friend who's the president of their music soc I've got an offer from Newnham and I'm thinking of applying to Selwyn Choir but it seems really daunting and I'm a bit worried about the aural tests! Is your daughter a soprano or alto?

hey im thinking of applying to selwyn choir!

Hey - thinking of going for one and I did the preliminary auditions so fingers crossed but never thought I'd get this far/ it's so surreal. Congrats on your offer! What are you hoping to study?

Oh my gosh how cool!!!!! I'm a Newnham offer holder but apparently we merge with Selwyn which is awesome because the chapel is GORGEOUS which part do you sing? How much experience do you have? :P I'm so inexperienced but I'm super enthusiastic so I hope that works in my favour hahaha

Hey that's great!! Which college do you have an offer and which subject?! I'm Linguistics at Newnham eek, I'm so excited I'm a soprano btw, what abouts you?

Me!! Long shot though as I can't read music

ive got an offer at selwyn- im not sure whether i should apply or not because ive never had lessons or anything but ive been in quite a few choirs and im really musical haha and play a few instruments. Im a soprano, what about you?

Thank you! I'm Theology at Newnham too so will be nice to see a friendly face! I'm a soprano but not sure whether I want to apply to Selwyn to sing there or be a volunteer at another college.

Oh my gosh well done, Selwyn looks amazing! I'm in exactly the same boat; I've never had lessons but I've been in so many choirs and I just love singing so I figured I'm not losing anything by applying, right? I'm sop (2) too! Which instruments? I have my grade 3 in Viola so watch out



Eek, there are so many Newnhamites it's incredible, I can already feel myself falling in love with the college and people in it Theology is such a niche course, I feel you there! (Linguistics) Are you going to the open day in Feb? If so I'll be the super duper excited one with the big smile, hope you recognise me :P there are so many sopranos - I mean it's without a doubt the best anyway... - it would be so cool if we both got into the choirs!

Hahahahahaha this is literally me!!! I can sing the tune when I've heard it a few times, but a soloist I am most definitely not :P Which part are you? In fact, which course and college are you (fingers crossed!) going to be at?!

I know! It's such a gorgeous college and yes I'll be there! I know- there's so many!! would be great and I'd love to do it - just hoping to get the grades now to get in!

What's your offer, A*AA? Or are you one of those IB-ers? If it helps, I have faith in you!

Sunday, train will arrive by 2:30pm, and then taxi to Medwards.
