emma watson applying.

Than you would have assumed wrong.

While there maybe some people who love their subject the vast majority I have come across on here and IRL study because they 'have to'.

And while some people may really enjoy subjects liek Law, I haven't really met anyone who enjoys reading loads of books for case research etc.

Comparing writing essays and doing research in a University setting to doing research/learning at your own leisure - well I'd say which one was more fun would be a no brainer for most people.

Anyhow, I very much doubt people here define academic 'fun' the same way they would watching a film /playingsports/ reading a book for leisure.

Somehow, that make me feel like quoting Holy Grail... But, we aren't living in the middle ages anymore and there is no black knight running arround without limbs.

"HARRY POTTER AND THE HIDDEN PENIS"

Or

"HARRY POTTER WITCH PACKS MAGICAL WAND"

?

Come on! The Sun will have a field day with that story.

Yeah, Lily Cole already has a place at Cambridge, I'd argue she's more famous (I actually know her name rather than 'that one who played Hermione'). And there are much richer people there already who you could argue are more worthwhile the uni bending its admissions policy for. So it's not much of a big deal. Why the hell she'd want to go to uni when she's made so much money I have no idea, but it's her life.

Believe it not, some people go to university because they are clever, not just to get money. Good on Lily Cole for making it difficult for pea-brained people (including probably some at Cambridge I am sad to think) who think that models must all be beauty at the expense of brains.

pssht who cares about Emma Watson.. harry potter is weak

every straight guy, and ron weasley.

Ooh good, that means we won't have her. I've seen her round Oxford sometimes, she acts like a right stroppy little sod - and doesn't seem to like having to queue.
I realise that was completely inconsequential to the topic of this thread, but I just thought I'd add my (clearly highly useful) point!

So is Hermione (Emma Watson) actually applying for entry in 2008/9 or did she apply for 2007 entry and got in, so is starting this year?

She's only just started her A2 year so I presume she's applying this year for 2008 (or deferred 2009 entry). The fact she's been attending open days this year would tend to back that up. That said, some celebrities have been endlessly deferring their place (Lily Cole has deferred about 3 times) so who knows when she's actually turn up even if she did get in.

Thanks. Yeah, when is Lily Cole actually starting Cambridge? Because first I read that it was this year, then I read that it was for 2008 entry, but somewhere else I read that it was for 2009 entry? Do you know? Is that what you've heard/read too?
