I'm sure you'll be great at interview!

I've applied to corpus christi.

Now I've got to ace my interview as I'm not sure about the logic questions. How did you find the essay?


my essay wasn’t terrible! hopefully it’s good enough lol

Didn't you also win one of the JLI essay competitions? Which subject was it for?

Mine did not load for a solid 10 minutes at the beginning; the logic was quite variable in its difficulty (some Qs took me 30 secs, others 2/3 mins), but I enjoyed writing the essay (even though my answer was derivative and only ~900 words I chose the 2nd question)


ugh same, hopefully they understand that the questions didn’t load for a lot of us

Yep, I'm not sure why they didn't publish the Theology ones on the page (maybe because it took me about a month to get round to asking for my prize money lol)

I do Politics (A*) REP(A*) Economics (A*)

and the essay on the sample paper I did went really well- I got my teacher to mark it and she loved it. The multiple choice section was alright, not amazing- I got 15/20 (It was out of 20 wasn't it?)

Warwick, because although course content probably isnt much different at undergraduate, they specialise in post-Kantian philosophy

Warwick is third for me, after Kings. I applied for Politics, philosophy and law at both, but if I get into kings I get an LLB but at Warwick it is just a BA.

Yeah for me I did first paragraph arguing why it doesn’t work, second at a possible argument for it working then broke it down through premises how that’s wrong and finished
