Queens' College (Cambridge) Students and Applicants

Just found out I've got an interview, 30th November! Exciting!!

For what subject?

Hey, I'm applying for econ at queens as well
AS average of 98% across all 4 and 100% across best 3, took A level maths, AS economics, French and geography

Taking A level further maths, A2 economics and French this year


I've written my essays and I'm really impatient waiting to here about if I get an interview!!

All A*s at GCSE, what about you?

God thats incredible, I've already been outcompeted lol- these are my results ( in shame)
10A*s 3As at GCSE and 4As (top 3-96%: maths 95%, economics-100%- chem-93%)

And I just got an interview invitation too!! Congrats to u as well

Aww don't be ashamed! Yours are great!! It's not all about exams, your enthusiasm and personal statement will definitely help
At least you got 100% in economics, that's the only one I didn't get 100% in lol! I got 99% in micro and 81% in macro, only because I misunderstood a 30 mark essay question and lost all 12 marks for evaluation :/ which was very annoying seeing as it's what I want to study at university!

When is your interview?

Oh don't complain, I'd die to have ur ums haha

My interview is on the 1st dec so a day after yours. I'm presuming u got the request to provide 3 topics to discuss? What are you thinking atm?

Ahh cool! I really don't know what to say for the 3 topics, I'm thinking maybe something I know quite a bit about like a book I read for my personal statement... And then maybe something current in the news, I'm really not sure! I think I'll pick my econ teacher's brain for ideas 😊 What about you, what are you thinking?

Not entirely sure, I'm panicking!! I'm thinking along the lines of government fiscal policies and possibly something to do with target 2.0...which is what I will be doing in a week lol

Got an interview for Law yesterday #Queens'college

Me too! Do you have any idea of what you're going to put for the interview topics?

I have honestly no idea! Maybe some cases relating to my current knowledge or possibly talk about the EU? What are you thinking?

With the stuff in the news a couple days ago I might put something about the UK 'constitution'. The criteria seems a bit vague and I'm really worried I'll put something that's irrelevant!

I'm more worried about the Cambridge Law Test, any idea what question style question they ask? (Comprehension/Essay/Application)

No idea, I just really hope it isn't a comprehension one.

Haha, fair, is the Fee Status Questionnaire for UK residents aswell as international applicants?

Also received an invitation for interview for law at Queens, how'd you guys do at AS? I'm not feeling too confident at the moment with only 91% ums average

I'm pretty sure it's for UK residents too. I hope so at least because I've sent mine.



At AS I had an 83% average but I'm applying with my A-levels A*A*A ~94% average. 91% is definitely good enough, a lot just comes down to the interview and test now I guess.

How are you guys preparing for the CLT?
