I'm applying to University, for maths and stats... even if it is very oversubscribed, I heard it not too bad!
Yannis thanks for your posts (karma - please change subject).
What kind of questions did they ask you at your interview? Thanks.

It's not the interview you should be worried about, but the paper you will sit.

I applied last year and the paper was not to bad, i then had my interviews and a few day later i got a leter in the post saying i have been given a condictional offer (AAA), unfortunitly, i never met the condiction grades due to some problems at home and college.
I went to a normal school and a fe college, I had obtained A*AABBBCCDE in GCSEs and in my as levels AAAC.
So getting good grades is not nesseserilly the case, It also depends on what chances you have had to get the grades.
I applied for St Johns and most lads their went to fee paying schools, and had all A*s with a few As in GCSEs and AAAAA at AS level and most got rejected, because those grades are expected in there schools, the people that seem to get in most where students obtaining better then their schools expectations.
One lad who had been rejected last year is applying again this year after getting AAAA in Alevel. He wants to study mathematics and his grades included Maths, furthur maths and english.
I also found that their is not much point applying if you not getting the A2 in furthur mathematics.

eeek! Is this true???
I only started further maths this year (yr 13), so at the end I will have an Alevel in maths, with AS in further. I got AAAAA at AS (although with the weirdest mix of subjects; art, maths, english, religious studies and critical thinking. The reason I didn't take further maths last year was because I didn't really know about the course, and only a few people took it (I go to a massive state comprehensive, and theres only about 5 of us doing FM). Do you know anybody who got into Oxbridge to study maths, who didn't have the full A2 despite it being offered at their school?
Btw, I've applied to do maths with philosophy at Pembroke (Ox). Anybody else doing/applied to do this course?

There's a third year in my college doing Maths & Phil who had AS FM and a second year mathematician with AS FM. In the first year there's a mathematician who had no FM at all.
So whilst most mathematicians have A2 FM there's a reasonably sized minority that don't.

ooh, thankyou, thats very reassuring. I heard that they run summer schools for non-FM people to catch up, so I will certainly be signing up for them, if I get an offer.

Ho ho ho. I've a mate doing Maths & Stats at Keble. This term she's got five tutorials a week with a problem sheet for each. She's practically in shock. But she's a third year, so such pleasures are a while away for you yet
