I read in a post a list of game theory type questions and now I can't find it - anyone know where it is??

What's it worth to us in telling you? :p:

DO NOT QUOTE SOMETHING YOU HAVE READ OR HEARD. This is the most pretentious thing you can do, and reeks of rote-memorisation.

Is this absolutely a no-no? I know a quote of Tacitus' that sums up my opinion of Nero (I'm an ancient history student!), it's only one sentence - would you advise against mentioning it in the interview? I want them to know I can understand the more subtle side of the historian's intentions, yet it sounds a bit airy fairy to just say that and not back it up.

I think its O.K to qoute someone in your Personal statement if it sums up your feelings.

I got asked hardly anything on my PS, nothing on my submitted work at all. Couldnt prepare for what i got asked unless i read a lot lot more around my own interests. But thats the point, they dont want to ask you something you're familiar with.

Once you're there you settle down quickly. Just meet lots of other people and you relax.

Think that all you want. The tutors will find it irritating not impressive.

You never know. They could just not care that you're quoting and listen to what you're saying... All in all, I bet the best plan is to just be honest and talk about what you know. Can't go wrong with that mentality :smile:
