Trinity College for maths

I have heard that application is hard... what are the average UMS at AS (or STEP), and olympiad stuff?? Should I put on my SAT 2 results as well?

They are the best mathematicians in the country. 100% at (Maths) UMS less marks lost for silly mistakes is probably the going rate. Typical STEP offers are 1,1 sometimes S,1. Many are in the Olympiad teams. I think I saw somewhere that almost half of those who get offers having applied to Trinity actually get offers through the pool.
So applying to Trinity can be similar to putting in an open application.

I got 599/600 in Maths. And gold for BMO round one. Did catastrophically on BMO round two which I'm not going to put in my personal statement. Nice step result. Any hopes..?

Both your UMS and BMO performance are good, although Colmans is wrong to suggest that you'd have to 'underperform significantly at interview not to get an offer'. Given that the majority of Trinity maths applicants will have comparable results, the interview will still be a key determining factor in who receives an offer. But you are definitely a realistic candidate.

One word of warning, however: if you are going to apply to Trinity be aware that they have been known to give out S,S STEP offers which are of course very difficult to satisfy. If you fail to meet their offer and get a 1,1 (or S,1) then another college is still extremely likely to fish you out during the summer pool, but the extra stress and pressure may mean that you underperform in the STEP and do not obtain the 1,1 grades you otherwise would have.

All the best with your application.

How nice?

Thanks to all of you. I did not attend any camps... quite a pity...

I got a S in STEP 2 and a 1 in STEP 3. My Principal worries they might give me S, S ... It's quite a decent result though

Wah... I was under the impression that >58 in BMO1 would get you an invitation to Hungary camp? Unless you're international?

So wait, what year are you in?

Hi, could I ask how you started and prepared (and merked) STEP?? Any tips from your success?

Also, are you a private school student?

Best of luck

Yeah I'm international.... ;P

Ah, that makes sense then. Still international this year? Or will you be eligible?
