Cambridge Applicants 2012 MK II

I spoke to the Head of Admissions at Christ's College at an open day in July and she said that if you have learning difficulties they will have to interview you. I'm not sure if this means anyone applying through CSAS in general or just people with LD's.

I think it will most likely depend on the severity of whatever has disrupted your education/ how much you have been disadvantaged.

I applied for VetMed at Downing and haven't heard anything yet. But I think they wait for my my BMAT result first which comes out on the 23rd. Don't know what it's like for other subjects though

Aw, thanks! I'm actually always really intimidated on TSR by Americans who have like 8 5's already I took US History, French, and English Lang/Comp last year, and I'm taking AB Calc, English Lit, and Psych this year, plus honors Econ and self-studying for the Macro exam. Are you taking APs too?

Ah wow, all the others are probably off doing the actual work :P did you apply last year then?



Yeeyyy Downing! I'm applying for Engineering, haven't heard anything. I was just messaging someone who applied for Math last year and they said they didn't find out about their interview till 22nd November.

Apparently Downing is one of the slow Colleges... :/



I think a lot of people have this problem; I know I sure do! xD

Ah wow, all the others are probably off doing the actual work :P did you apply last year then?

Yes I am a Pembroke fresher

My sister's at Downing and loves it there. She is a 2nd year medic.

whoo, more engineers, i was wondering where you all were

I think Clare have sent out interviews to vets though, so maybe they're not waiting for the BMAT results?
I guess it's all college-specific though.
As far as I'm aware, Clare vets are the only ones told about interviews so far, but I don't think anyone from Clare has a date yet.
I've applied to St Catharine's and have heard nothing since submitting my SAQ

Ah wow, all the others are probably off doing the actual work :P did you apply last year then?

You mean you willingly studied APs? Ah, I kid, I actually quite like them myself. Especially because they're the only really fair standardized test in the US, in my opinion...the SAT and ACT are so arbitrary. APs can be really frustrating when you have a poor teacher, though- my US History class did nothing to prepare me last year and I basically self-studied. No one else in my class scored above a 3 because they trusted our teacher.

Yaaayyy! which College?

p.s. I've been here for a very long time! :P

sick!

then how do u do it?

I'm just preparing for my jan exams......should have s1-2 m1-3 c1-4 fp1 and bits of fp2 fp3 covered. attempting few step questions but the questions in the trinity paper are shorter.......so just polishing my conceptual understanding

lol as have I , strange that we haven't come across each other yet

I'm going for clare and got an interview (i was going to choose downing but i couldn't resist clare cellers )

I know! I worked through that paper today, some questions are just so short! Well, I am preparing assuming I will get an interview at all :/ Trinity for Maths, I am begging to think I could have chosen an easier college haha

You are officially my hero! At least I am not alone for self-studying. Don't worry, I am wayyyy behind you when it comes to AP's as I am studying them this year.

I am taking AP English Literature at school but self-studying for Psychology and English Language/Composition, and possibly two other ones, but I am not so sure which to choose (although I have to start choosing now).

Not all Canadian schools offer them - or even more than three AP courses, and they are usually physics, chem, bio - or English Literature if they are lucky.


How did you find English Language/Composition to be (easy or hard)? - did you self-study for it?
