Cambridge rejections/acceptances

I think it also depends on how the interviewee reacts to being grilled. If they can see he/she is reacting well or can cope then they will be more willing to keep on pushing rather than if the interviewee looks like he's/she's about to cry (unless they're really evil ).

It's bad for the following four reasons:

1) Impossible to have free markets in some privatised industries
2) Government watchdogs / regulation ensure the political element remains; privatisation is rarely independent
3) Markets can fail. Private companies motivated by profits and accountable only to shareholders do not provide the best consumer services
4) Nationalised industries have a minister who is accountable to the electorate

And those would be my debating notes

I wonder if any admissions tutor has cast an eye over ukl.........

Hmm I'm not too sure if there are certain things in maths that people assume that are iincredibly complex to prove, especially at an elementary level.

if they did im sure theyll be suprised at the level of obsession!

I think just reading this thread is making my more worried!

My post came at 11:00 this morning. I hope its not so late tomorrow!

Haha. Okie yeh they kept pushing me into a corner until I told them that I was sorry that I think I had some errors in my argument and another option would be appropriate. Then they stopped pushing.

Can't you prove somehow that 1+1=0 or something? I'm sure there's a lot of stuff about 0 people outside mathematics don't see. The point was merely made to show philosophy is a lot less flippant in defining value than other subjects would be; that's in the subject's nature, and that's what makes the question of value so sticky.

-1 + 1 = 0.......i think

It's much better to admit the flaws in your arguement rather than digging yourself into a hole so I think you made the right choice! And after they probably thought you needed a rest

If it doesn't arrive by post I'm going to collect it manually.

This was my problem, I struggled a little bit at the start because I'd done a question wrong in the test, and afterwards, I didn't feel that they were pushing me at all.

do u think the admissions people at cambridge enjoy seeing us in such pain?
