Ohh duhh cool! And yeah it is, her love for Exeter influenced me decided to apply for a flexible combined honours, with Int' relations and security studies and yeah, Oxbridge is expensive for all int'l applicants (I included the plane ticket in my application calculations). In September it all starts again can't wait until summer though.
I absolutely hate biology and AP sciences in general - I would have thought after chem and physics that I wasn't a science person, but had to check out at least one life AP science to make sure I didn't want to be a doctor
Omg I say that too, and mock instead of practice ugh. Maths was never fun for me at all, got poor grades up until 10th grade. After that, got my first A(+) in a math class (in Calc) and believed in the power of a great teacher. But writing an essay on math? Yeah nope
she really does love Exeter Cool FCH I honestly really liked FCH Hahaha the plane tickets are what puts everything over the top! Summer will be great
Hahaha I don't like Physics and Maths Chem is ok, I like Bio , I guess that cemented your opinion about not being a doctor then
Hahaha I just call every exam an exam and don't differentiate between mocks and non mocks I just find maths boring yeah I think writing an essay is just sad...
Given the type of people who are likely applicants, don't you think [over]-analysing or -thinking in general may be part of what makes them applicants though?
It all depends on the objective. Trying to beat the system or figure out a "winning formula" is both off putting and futile. For self-reflection is not necessarily such a bad thing sometimes unless you overdo it to the point of feeding self-doubt.

Very true.
But I do think a major problem is with self-analysis where you try to guess your score in the interview and this one stat does clearly show it doesn't work.
Whether or not folks will pay attention to it is, of course, up to them
Yeah I will do. When I ask for feedback, I was going to ask whether it was interviews or grades that most let me down. If it's grades, I can fix that, but if it was interview, I don't really have the resources to become better at it, so it probably wouldn't be worth my time to reapply.
Thank you for all your help on here by the way, I and probably all the other applicants, really appreciate it 😊
Sorry to find that I will not be studying alongside you.😞
You had a rough ride, but the experience will toughen you up for future interviews. That which does not destroy us makes us stronger! 😊
Oh dear. A shamrock is the universal symbol of good luck in the west, and pops up on the first page of my smileys. I love pastries and am often stroppy, so I called myself Bunratty.

@jneill Do you happen to know where I can find statistics on the degree classifications awarded by Cambridge? I've tried looking but I can't seem to find anything

Quite right too. An iced bun is a bun. A hot cross bun is a bun. A Danish Pastry or some such foreign imposter is not a bun. It's delicious, but quite different.
Still waiting for my decision amidst the discussion of buns
Is it time for an email or phone call?
Please do! You wouldn't want to wait another weekend... The mature colleges should be relatively more free too (I think) so it should be okay to call at this stage

Thank you guys! I phoned and she knew who I was before I even gave my name no decision has been made yet, and it could be next week.
