Cambridge Applicants 2012 MK II

I love STEP though! have you applied?

Trinity what are the interviews like for English? I can imagine the being rather different to maths!

I've got a 1 hour test where they shove a poem or bit of prose in front of you and tell you to write an essay about it, a general academic interview where we chat about why I like English and what my literary interests are etc. and a more focused interview where again they shove some literature at me 15 mins in advance and then ask me some questions about it. Pretty different to maths ones I suspect!

I've been practising for my TSA and every time I do a practice test I get worse and worse D:

Thank you!

I booked my plane tickets yesterday as well

I hope you get an interview soon, and then we can fly to Cambridge together!

I've applied for Law and was also allocated to Murray Edwards, I emailed to ask when we'd be getting invitations to interview or rejections and was told this morning that letters are currently going out and will continue to do so until the end of this week.

So nerve wracking, fingers crossed for us both!

It's fun now. However I am guessing, in an exam situation, it's not fun at all

I finally got an interview invitation from Caius!
Each college has its own policies I guess (though I do not understand why Caius sent out interviews before BMAT results.)
Corpus probably shorltlists applicants according to their performance in the BMAT.
I would suggest you already book an air ticket to be on the safe side, because apparently you will not get much notice.


Good luck!

More and more Canadians are flying over. I hope I can get an interview to help the... domination

KIDDING!

I really hope I hear from King's soon! Though the fact that they are taking long with the English applicants is making me awfully scared...

Yeah you are probably right! I think in the exam I might feel the pressure! When is your interview?

LOL yes! that would be amazing I hope you hear from them soon! maybe there's just a lot of English applicants to sort through this year?

EDIT: Why the random neg rep?!??

Wow for me that would be impossible! Are you nervous? How are you preparing for your interview? What subjects are you taking?

Just as a head's up last year I got the poem 5 minutes before! So don't panic if you get less
