Successful Cambridge Applicants Chat - 2006

I enjoyed the STEP integration (although I royally buggered the integration question in STEP II). Yeah, I have a 1,1 offer. As for the last part - thank you very much. lol. You're hopefully going to Peterhouse aren't you? (A friend of mine applied for Maths with an open application, and was sent to Peterhouse. He, sadly, was rejected.)

I presume you're an English student then...

Well, I promise to take it back if you can show that

$\large \displaystyle\int^{\frac{1}{2} \pi}_{-\frac{1}{2} \pi} \frac{\cos^2 \theta}{1-\sin \theta \sin 2\alpha} \, \textrm{d}\theta \, = \, \frac{1}{2} \pi \sec^2 \alpha$ (where $\large 0 \, < \, \alpha \,< \, \frac{1}{4} \pi$)

(excuse the poor rendering of the TeX; it doesn't seem to like squaring things. It should be cos²theta, and similarly with the sec.)

.)

Wanderer - Were you interviewed on Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th? I think that's when my friend was being interviewed - you may have met him (he's called Alex).

Anyway, I have some badminton to play. I shall return in slightly over an hour, if you're still here (and sober...).

.......ok random message.
tctc wants to say :
'I would be disspointed in them (all you people on tsr) not being patriotic, even the scots'
You all can interpret it as you like.... im just the messenger

I agree, everyone should be wathing the match!

Don't get gowns now, you'll be able to get them cheaper when you turn up on the day

What would I do if I didn't get in, wear it at Nottingham going "I applied to Cambridge and failed, you inferior sub-humans"?

I am watching the match... and i'm on the internet...

It is possible to do two things are once

Getting a gown now would be a bit stupid. What would I do if I didn't get in, wear it at Nottingham going "I applied to Cambridge and failed, you inferior sub-humans"?

Well thats my plan

..Nottingham

Other than a few 'pick us' letters i havnt heard much of them.

Thought so, was just checking in case I misinterpreted! No, it seems we have to scramble for accommodation if we end up there, since my friend who has them as firm has it all sorted. But at least if we both miss we can be bitter together!
