The Official Cambridge Offer Holders Thread 2017 Entry

Your dad is absolutely right !

Can I just ask, were you told to call up on results day if you narrowly miss your offer as they may 'consider' taking you? Our Admissions Tutor told us that they get the grades about a day or two before but not the actual marks so if it's a narrow Miss then contact the college (and keep everything crossed) and wait. I just wondered if that's a common theme with all colleges, I suppose it is dependent on how competitive the course is 😕

Falling asleep trying to revise for tomorrow's history exam it's my favourite paper but I went to bed at 12am last night and woke up at 4am unable to get back to sleep. 😂 Thank god I've been revising for tomorrow since January!!!!

Would now be a bit late to get my school to write to my college explaining difficulties in teaching one of the a levels I'm taking? I thought things were okay with the new guy we've had the last few weeks, but clearly having taken one of the maths exams the issues haven't fully been resolved..

My conditions are A*AA (English)

Say I get A*A*B would Cambridge still think about taking me?

I know it depends on raw marks and how close you were and all that but anecdotally has this happened before?

Well I had Chinese and Mechanics 2 today and I tell you what those papers were a blessing! 😁

Thanks be to Edexcel 👏 (for once)

Seems like M2 has been pretty nice this year. OCRs was pretty good, nothing overly hard

I had history paper 2 and though the source could have gone better I wrote loads and everyone struggled with the source and I feel like I struggled slightly less though my provenance paragraph sucked I completed it and I'm kind of happy with it just got to hope the boundaries aren't stupidly high

Yeah it was nice, especially compared to last years paper which I tried yesterday and actually couldn't do 😅

Ah I'm glad it went well! I was doing Chinese while they were doing History and I saw a few confused looking faces. So if you had plenty to say about it I'm sure you'll be fine 😉

How many exams does everyone have left now? I'm halfway there and have three left 😊

Glad someone else couldn't do m2 2016...

Yeah... wasn't the best thing for my confidence given I've been prioritising core maths 😮 plus the grade boundaries were like nothing happened...

Did you do M2 today?
