I kinda bent the through and said I was going travelling like tonight and needed it on. It's on there now.
:smile:


Which college did you choose in the end? I've applied for Queens'. :smile:


I had my first major freak out t'other day - up 'til now I've been quite calm about Cambridge but I started thinking about the interview etc. yesterday and just completely freaked out - phoned up my friend practically in tears like, "I'M DREADING THE INTERVIEW, I HAVE NO CHANCE!" which then led to, "OH MY GOD NONE OF MY UNIS ARE GOING TO WANT ME!"

:rolleyes:

I'm praying for Cambridge - there's nothing I've ever wanted more than this!


Good luck to everyone! (Unless you're a linguist applying to Queens'! :p:)

I ended up with St John's. It was so close between than and Queens' to be honest! Don't actually know which made me go with the former to be honest.

I started to fill in the SAQ and felt the same; I'm terrified. I'm already checking track, despite not even receiving my welcome letter, because I know I will feel better if I have one offer!

Good luck :smile:

I did a open application any idea when I will get to know which college i was allocated to?

Really depends on the course and the number of applicants this year. If you're a girl... probably New Hall or Newnham. Otherwise Girton, Homerton, Churchill, Fitzwilliam and a few others get lots of open applications. Oh and St. Catz get a few too.

Not fitz or churchill, cause they're modern and hence less attractive. Magdalene is some walk away. Other than that it really doesn't make much odds.

Silly question: why do you have different requirements depending on what subject you are doing?

Who's applied to Downing?
Ask in the Jesus and Downing threads - people are more likely to be posting in there.

I have, but the thread seems to be pretty dead. I was hoping more people would spot the message if it was here.

Most college threads take a while to reply; I take it as a good sign, it means that maybe they are having too much fun outside in the real Cambridge. :p:
Quick question - which colleges have a 24/7 library? Thanks =D
