The Official 2017 Cambridge Applicants Thread [part 3]

My username?? XD

Kent for law?

Hiii nice to meet you

I am the resident Oxford Applicant on a Cambridge thread

I would just buy a new one

The post normally arrives at my house between 8am and 9am, so my dad is going to text me when the post arrives on 12th to tell me if there's anything that is addressed to me that looks like it's from Cambridge. I then am free (break time followed by a free lesson) from 10.50am until 12.10pm, so I'm going to walk home and read it. My dad did offer to walk over to school with it (I'm at a sixth form that's attached to a school rather than college) but a) I want space to stick concealer on to cover the inevitable red puffy eyes from crying (probably sad tears when I'm rejected, but possibly happy tears if the impossible happens) and b) one of my teachers didn't believe I had an interview until I showed her a print out of the letter they emailed me in November (and this was a teacher who believed I would get one, but being the first scientist to apply, she thought I was joking) but I don't want the original in school in case it gets crumpled, lost or stolen. So if it's a yes, I want to photocopy it at home and just take the copy in to show off with. I then have to make it back in time for my next lesson (which should be okay, I have 70 minutes and it only takes 25 to get home).

I'm trying to convince at least one of my friends to come home with me, but a lot of them are in lessons when I have my free that day.

I am slightly worried in case the post doesn't arrive though!

Also guys, here it is.....
The final issue of the previous thread's stats! You can see all: the bustling activity when the thread was still young, the pre-interview hype, the post-interview depression, the Christmas break, the New Year's wishes, last week's episode of Sherlock, the past few day's popularity, and whatever happened on Nov 28
Would be nice to see an annotated version of it :b

Wow, I've discovered something worse than just pizza.

I know of an irish uni that sent out the same acceptance letter to everyone who had applied - it said they had got in to engineering or something even if they hadn't applied for engineering

the question is, who has ketchup with their pizza like i do? i have a friend who never ever eats pizza with ketchup idek... (saying that though i actually don't like pizza that much maybe that's why i try and eat it with loads of sauce )

i get the feeling you have a very sophisticated taste in food

Pizza is the combination of some of the worst ingredients ever, in the most disgusting form ever and it's DIFFICULT TO EAT!!!

With mascarpone = heaven.

Ruth we can't be friends anymore

I wouldn't say that...I just don't like the common types of food? So I don't like pizzas, burgers, steaks, or anything like that. People think I'm fussy but I eat more types of food than most people

Worst ingredients ever?! Difficult to eat?!
But tomato, cheese and pizza dough are delicious and the pizza slice shape is so convenient and versatile!! You can roll your slice, fold it in half or eat it normally...

I'm a big fan of pizza

You see this begs the question... were we ever truly friends? 👀👀👀 (i kid don't do this to me Alfie it'd make the linguistics road trip rly awkward 😭)

Ahhh fair enough - have to disagree about steak though what would you say your favourite food is?

Yeah I noticed how everyone in England went to sleep so early!! You guys are so goody two shoes 😂 Most people in my school stay up till like 2 am on a daily basis. How do you resist the temptation of staying up, like sleep is so damn boring!

Ketchup is gross - you couldn't pay me to eat it on stuff

you sound like you've got it all planned out! you're braver than i am for wanting to open it in front of other people



p sure the huge amount of posts at the beginning was the result of that debate we had XD (the thread moved so fast back then yikes)
