Cambridge Offer Holders 2015 thread

Why are you sitting STEP I if it's not part of your Cambridge offer? I'm guessing it's part of other uni offers


It's easier then step 2 and 3 and if i miss step 3 a high mark in step 1 looks good ie(S). And it's good practice for the ones that matter as i've never sat an exam of that difficulty that will count so much towards my future. It makes the warwick place more probable then counting on step 2 or 3. As warwicks offer is a 2 in any step paper.

The film doesn't even do them justice - they're better.

Ah, they probably tweaked the facts of his life a bit there to appeal to the audience. When I visited Gonville and Caius college it wasn't much to look at.

How are you finding your course at Oxford? It sounds interesting.


Thank you. I'm in my 3rd year and really enjoying it. The workload is a bit intense. It has sort of got me interested in the fields of cognitive science and AI, so I'll be doing a master's in machine learning as applied to language at Cambridge next year.

I have an offer from Clare.

Are you joining the 4th year of the Computer Science course at Cambridge?

Do a PhD in self-replicating robots :wink:

The MPhil is with the engineering dept.- I think engineering departments have a habit of stealing machine learning guys from compsci depts. But as I understand it compscis at Cam can do most/all of the machine learning modules in the engineering dept. I was also slightly peeved that the minimum requirement for a masters in CompSci at Cambridge is a first. A first from Oxford is hard, and though I am aiming for that it put me off a little bit.

Is your degree grade determined by your rank in the year? That's the case for Cambridge Engineering which I find sad. I feel like it would reduce the camaraderie between fellow students.

I don't think so. there are no hard limits but around 30% get firsts.
I wonder if that IHTWFR guy who was trolling the thread got an offer

I see. Grades permitting I might see you around the Engineering dept. next year then. Not that either of us would know who the other was.

The Uni4 bus comes past your door to west Cambridge and in the first two years you are mostly in the centre of Cambridge so not as bad as you think.

Hmmmmmmmm
