Aw, everything at Cambridge is competitive!! I regret doing so many things right now, and the horrific memories of the interview are coming back to me... :'(

It'll surely be harder to do a postgrad at Cambridge if you didn't do undergrad there.


No it will not hold you back AT ALL.

Offer rate for postgrad applicants for masters at Cambridge:
Imperial 33.5%
LSE 31.4%
Surrey 27.7%
Warwick 34.2%

Yeah that's true. My first interviews went quite well at Jesus, then I got pooled and had more interviews which were just a train wreck. I also regret how I made myself sound so stupid in the interviews!

Oh, usually being pooled means that you're good enough to go there, and they want you, but they don't have enough places :smile: I wonder if I was pooled and not fished or not...

St Andrews?

And where do you get these statistics?

plus I forgot to ask this but do you have the statistics of where American students are most likely to study in the UK? I remember you posting it somewhere on tsr but I forgot where.

I hope that's the case! Yes it would be nice to know whether they were really close to giving you an offer!!

I'm okay :smile: Cambridge's course seemed perfect, but I've been hoping for the best while mentally preparing for rejection.

Not really, I'll be either going to UCL or Imperial which will be pretty cool! :smile: London will be quite different from Cambridge, I do prefer Cambridge, but London offers a whole other set of opportunities, and it'll be great! :smile:
