Maybe we won't hear anything for weeks but i'm soo impatient to know if anyone else gets any offers soon. I applied to Clare but I think my interviews (certainly the second one) went a bit rubbish.
Anyone else got offers yet?
hope I get an interview somewhere else- wish I'd applied to London, Glasgow or Bristol where they've interviewed early! I'm still waiting for replies from Liverpool, Edinburgh and Nottingham.
All Cambridge offers are given out at the same time, at least as far as I am aware. Last year i think it was New Years eve that most people found out and the unlucky few with unreliable post, i.e. me!!, had to wait until after the public holiday.
Yep - they won't be coming till at least after Christmas, most likely closer to New Year so don't worry till then! There's lots of people in the Cam forum if you want to discuss it with them.

Yeah I think last year, my friend found out she was in on christmas eve!
I applied to Clare too, lol *must illiminate competition *
My 2nd interview went much better than the first! They asked me the same question in both interviews though which i though was a bit weird - not sure if they were testing me or whether it was a bit of miscommunication

something about horses and elephants/dogs and why horses can run fast, and i was really hoping i wouldn't get horsey questions as they are not my strong point!
hi! Had my interviews at Cam (newhall) today - v nerve racking, think I messed up pretty bad to be honest I had 2 interviews, one with 2 people - a vet and a medic, both very friendly and oozing intellectuallness which was rather scary! They asked mainly science questions about vetty things - a lot about inflammation and the 5 signs of it (which I had no idea about btw!) and then loads on the kidneys and what you test for in blood samples and dipstick urine tests. Then I had another interview with a biologist who's also the admissions tutor for the college and we talked about mitochondria and respiration and DNA and genetics which I love so that was great. Then I went home! Wore black trousers, smartish knitted jumper and carried coat. They looked at my progress file record of achievement jobby, in which I'd put details and photos of work exp, and said it was clear I'd done lots of research and I should be proud - tht probly means 'you should be proud but you don't have a hope in hell of coming to cambridge', if they're feeling patronising anyways. So there you go, good luck for the 12th!
I only got asked one question relating to my personal statement in one of my interviews, and they didn't even look at it in the other!
All my questions were science questions asked in a vetty way. And no they really wern't that scary, quite nice actually but i think they just felt sorry for me lol
something about horses and elephants/dogs and why horses can run fast, and i was really hoping i wouldn't get horsey questions as they are not my strong point!
the exact same thing happened to me!! i got asked loads of horse questions, and about elephants lol. the 2nd was a lot better than the first, mayb i had got into the swing of things by then!?! I had no idea of the answers to some of them but hopefully all went well. good luck everybody!!
Anyone heard anything yet? I had my interview on the 5th Dec (St Edmunds) and just come back from a weeks holiday hoping to find something in the post waiting for me and..........nothing
I guess i'll stick with the no news is good news theory then!
nah its cool, i can honestly say if i had had an offer i probably would still have wanted to go to bristol. but still it would have been nice to reject cambridge
OH MY GOD! I thought I wouldn't hear until at least the 5th cos Clare College don't go back until then !!!!! Mini Munchkin, which college did you apply to?

i applied to emmanuel. if you read this thread - http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/t188128.html you will notice that people from emmanuel, pembroke and one of the trinitys have heard so far. youll probs get your letter tomorro maybe? emmanuel must have sent them off on fri 30th with a first class stamp so even then not all will have had them.
Hi everyone! Just thought I'd pop in and say I got an offer from Cambridge, Newhall! (AAA in 3 sciences) Am absolutly over the moon, can't believe they want me. Fingers crossed for Nottingham!
