Official Cambridge 2022 Applicants Thread

Is anyone gonna fill out the additional personal statement. I'm applying for law and was thinking maybe about saying why the cambridge course in particular appeals to me but idk

I’m also applying for law and think I’ll mention a few lines about why I want to study the cambridge course in particular. I honestly think it’s better to write something, as there’s no harm in doing so 😁

I'm applying for English too

Yeah agreed I'm going to as well. Do you mind me asking what ur stats are?

OMG!!! @H4ttie03, I thought you like neverrr came back!!!
How's your app.?? like what course are you applying for? Where? How you feeling? Wow, I've got soo many questions ahah

What are your stats if you don't mind me asking and which college are you applying to?

ayyy fellow English student!! I haven't seen that many of us this year, at my school most humanities students go for History or Law, not English.

Lmaoo yeah for uni it's pretty useful ngl
And good ty I'm applying for law at Gonville and Caius college. Not feeling very confident lol as obvs it's so competitive and hardly anyone gets in from my school.
Lol how about you for all the above questions?

True..tsr is good for that sort of thing.
Oooh, law. You got an admissions test?
Applying to Wadham (Ox.) for Biology. Feel good because I've sent my application off but nervous too, everyone is sooo good. But I've sent it off now, it's out of my hands. Everything's sooo competitive tho
When's your interviews and all that?

Yep I have the LNAT for UCL and Bristol and then the CLT If I get an interview for Cambridge.
Ah cool omg well best of luck to you! Yeah ikr like everyone is amazing so its gonna be very competitive
Well If I get an interview for Cambridge then itll probs be in December if I'm correct.
Wbu do you have to sit any tests etc?

No, I haven't got any tests (That's one of the reasons I decided to apply to Ox not Cam, and also because of lower grade requirements )
Same..december interviews.
Ooh, so: Camb., Bristol and UCL...what about your other 2 options?

Lol lucky omg and yeah good idea. I applied for cam because I'm scared I'm gonna do badly on the lnat and I prefer the course in general.
Exeter and Warwick, what are your 4 other choices?

Ox, york, exeter, bath, leeds

I was also thinking of bristol but I swapped it for leeds

Ah nice yeah I was gonna apply for leeds as well but decided to apply to UCL instead lol

1) English, history, French, politics, epq
2) history
3) 7 9s and 3 8s (retaking 2 8s in bio and chem)
4) I really like the course as it’s more chronologically broad than the ox course
5) possibly an internal at interview assessment
6) just some wider reading and listening to podcasts
7) probably law conversion lol (basic historian route Ig)
8) no (I like trinity, St. John’s, kings, and caius

lmao..I swapped UCL for exeter.
Seems like we jointly applied/researched the same unis

wdym retaking 2 8s in bio and chem

what's compulsory pooling?
