For those already at Queens'. Did you get asked questions about all of the 3 topics you wrote down for interview or did a couple of the topics not come up?


I had my interview a few days ago - for French I was asked about one of them for German I was asked about none.

During my interview I was asked NOTHING about the off-syllabus literature I'd read!

What is the most important, UCAS document, SAQ, interview or TSA, personally, Iwould prefer UCAS> SAQ> interview> TSA.
I think Queens is really hard to get in for economics...

by Ucas do you mean combination of personal statement, grades and reference? and by SAQ you mean UMS marks? if so then yes i agree. Queens' does seem very popular, but i imagine they pool a fair number for economics.

Yes by UCAS, I mean statement, grades, reference, by SAQ I mean additional question answers. What's UMS?? ( I didn't do A-levels)
I hope they do pool them though being pooled as an economist isn't great either.

UMS is the actual percentage marks from A levels. In that case, I dont think SAQ is very important at all... I didnt even fill in extra personal statement etc., you dont even need to.

If you don't get in, don't be too sad, cambridge certainly isn't the be a all and and all (to use such a crap cliche).

well, they seem not to be so glad to take me in...
IELTS is just an English test to prove ability to learn in English. Its only for international students of course...

Why is the apostrophe in the wrong place in the title of this thread?? I started this thread and I'm sure I wouldn't have made such an elementary mistake! I suspect foul play... ETA: Also, I have now tried to edit the title to correct it and it doesn't seem to be working. Sigh.

Amazing :tongue: The natsci's at Queens' are awesome. Seriously though, there are enough of us in each year that you'll find people to get on with no matter what options you take, and there are few enough of us that you know most everyone (especially on your side of the bio/phys divide).

Our natsci society, the Milner Society has really become way more active this year which is cool.

good luck
xx
