We should stop making it so deep - yes, it might be indicative of something, but we don't know what (and won't) until the 25th. I understand why everyone is desperate though, particularly because the date is so late this year and the Trust handled it pretty badly.

You heard it first on this thread, and I think word will quickly get around.

Don't think I will ever be as popular as this flipping email though. Look, Mr Email, I had to work hard for my reputation and you come along with your snowy white page, pretty typing and fancy Cambridge logo and get all the glory, it's not fair... :angry:

Did you just assume the email's gender? This is why they're more popular than you :tongue:

I thought I had left school but it did feel an awful lot like being told off again lol

What are your thoughts on The Email (other than being jealous of its popularity?)

It's called an e-male, not a fe-male or fe-mail.

Perhaps it should be referred to as 'X', or have its own gender pronoun?

Bit confused about why "admissions speculations" is in the OP.
The email was advertising a scholarship and had nothing to do with admissions.

I'm sure you have some work to be getting on with...

"And any other speculative admissions woes", so not just the email, but rather everyone's tendency to over-analyse everything, even when there isn't necessarily anything to analyse of particular worth or material influence.

No work for me, I've left school.
