Descriptions be like "I got 20 A*s and 4 Oxbridge degrees"

Not interested in: anything outside the top 5 universities

Posted from TSR Mobile

Ooh, I must say option 3 looks particularly interesting. Also get to do a bit of the good old Henry VII in option 1, my bae

I hope you enjoy your trips!

"Swipe right or me to tell you why anything that isn't a STEM subject is inherently worthless"

Really? I've done Henry VIII and things but I've never done Henry VII so I am really looking forward to it!

"Swipe right or me to tell you why anything that isn't a STEM subject is inherently worthless"

Seems like this year there are more humanities than STEM students in this thread, so wouldn't be surprised if it was the other way around

Henry VII is the best. A book you absolutely *must* read before you go - The Winter King. There's also a documentary based on the book, I'll PM you the link it's on youtube.

Oh I'll add it to my list!! Thanks so much I really enjoyed the Tudors at A-Level to be honest

Henry VII is literally the best Tudor, shows up how **** his son's policy was

Posted from TSR Mobile

I agree. Well, his son became extremely power hungry and increasingly cantankerous. According to a friend (and I don't know how 'true' this is but it is certainly plausible), he regretted executing Thomas Cromwell.

I also read somewhere that he regreted executing Cromwell, he got angry and felt like he had been pushed into it. Funnily very similar to how his daughter would feel about MQS.

I still love Cecil mind

I always had an interest in Edward VI because he was a minor. There isn't some great intellectual deep academic reason, but I've always found him interesting. Though, Religion (mainly Christianity) is my 'main focus' at the moment. I want to specialise in it as a Historian if I can.

May I ask why you are drawn to Law?

I love all the debates and the implications they have in the real world, I particularly love the political aspect to it all, e.g. human rights, the constitution, international law. I love how fiddly it all is, and the way that changing one little thing or making the law seem more 'fair' actually leads to bizarre and wide reaching consequences. History and politics are amazing too though

Posted from TSR Mobile

That is cool! I've never been interested in law but I want to know enough about it to be competent in understanding it because it is important.

I am actually really looking forward to meeting you! You seem like a nice person, like my kind-of-person.

Hey, guys I just got an email from Medwards. I finally sent in my choice of tripos papers (if I get the grades) and they sent me a message back telling me to have a good summer and they'll be in touch in due course. I just hope I get those grades, I can't help getting a little excited by the possibility.
