I left it until the last day last time and they sent me FOUR reminders in 10 hours... :smile:

Haha, I'm hoping it won't come to that! I just need to bring myself to finish it but it's just so long..

Are you reapplying? 'Cause you said "last time" :smile:

What did you guys write in the "anything else you want to tell us"? Is it just a chance for one final plea?

"If you let me in, I will dance around trafalgar square in a banana suit...just in case that sways your judgement."

I was just planning on taking it into school, do I not need to bother?

Nah, I am not bothering! Just going to write a note on the cover sheet. :smile:

I think it takes longer to fill in than it really should because everyone triple checks everything since they don't want anything to go wrong. I finished mine ages before but became paranoid!

Erm, yes in a sense I am reapplying. Unfortunately I had to drop out of school before exams but Cambridge let me defer the offer. Yet there is some quirk of the system that means I have to reapply... although I know I've got a place the waiting is killing me since I'm scared something is going to go wrong or that the letter explaining this was a filament of my imagination! :s-smilie:

Not even triple-checking, I re-read everything at least 10 times, haha. :smile:

Oh okay, cool. Which course & college, if you don't mind me asking?

Haha! Don't worry I took over 100 pictures! I didn't smile but I did a slight hint of a smile so I did look miserable...and I had my hair part up, part down. Up so it was neat and down so I didn't look like some disembodied skull floating on a white background, (I'm very pale)
:biggrin:

Oh god, I ended up hating the one I had taken at a proper photo booth, so I took one at home and I look like a semi-Edwardian woman who has some sarcastic 'I know something you don't know' smile on her face. Seriously. I got so annoyed that I put it on my SAQ form and said 'sod it'. Big regrets now, mind you.

You have an interview for Cambridge on Monday?? GOOD LUCK! :biggrin:

Thanks! I have no idea how I am going to prepare for it (I'm a mature student and there's no way I can catch up with all the academic stuff at this point), so I think I will just practise similing for the next two three days :redface:
