Physics Applicants 2012

I really liked it, the modules look amazing and it's so friendly. Also love the location of the physics building.

Did your visit overrun last week? I thought it was to end at 3.15, had to leave early so I didn't miss my train.

eee thank you I'm really excited, Leeds is one of my top choices, despite coming from Kent..

Just wondering whether anyone had heard from durham about doing physics yet? I'm still waiting!

On a more cheerful note, anyone got an interview for physics at Oxford in the next few days? I'm so nervous for mine!!

Looked over stuff I mentioned in my PS, did all the BPhO round 2 papers, did some STEP I mechanics questions, covered M3 mixed exercises, did horrendous integrals and curve-sketching problems, learnt proofs and derivations for nearly all law's I've ever used, memorized all chemistry reaction mechanisms, read books on physics braintwisters/paradoxes, went through all past Oxbridge interview questions I could get a hold of, did conservation of energy & momentum, gravity, SHM, statics questions from hell.

Absolutely none of it helped during the interviews though...............

Yea i got an interview at oxford, super nervous ofc, i think im totaly underpreaperd, i completly scrwd up my physics mock interview but my maths mock interview went fine they askd me relatively easy questions tho so i wasnt suprised it went well...how are u preparing btw????

I'm reading the books on my PS, making cards for them so I remember key points, making sure I have specific examples to talk about from my PS and I think I'll have a look over some of the FP1 stuff which I'm a bit rusty on. Might have a look at M2 as well, even though I haven't started it at school yet

Which college are you going to? I'll be going to new college





I dont know if you can but wat was the general area to which questions were directed?? I got an interview for physics at oxford soon and no little of what to expect :P, im jst going over AS and part of the A2 course, C3-4, FP1-2 type things but still feel underprepared wen i hear of what uve done xD any suggestions?

Oh well, that's my excuse for having not heard from them out of the window :L

Yes and yes . My best friend hasn't heard from Durham and I went to an open day today where many people had said they hadn't heard a thing so I wouldn't worry just yet.

Ah good to be honest my mother was getting more worried than me!
And which college is your interview for? I'm going down to new college on saturday - I'm so nervous!!!!

Does anyone know what a Bristol "visit day" is like? Formal or casual, interview or not?

Lincoln, I heard they had some of the best food of all the colleges so I couldn't resist . What about you? I keep telling myself (and everyone else) that I dont really mind if I dont get in but I know skin deep down I do .

Il be at the queens flyin in tmrow so nervous, i havnt really looked at my PS that much but i can talk about string theory/quantum mechanics/relatitivity in quite some detail so tht il be fine im more worried about the more technical physics based questions which i screwd up in my mokc interview nyways good luck!!
