The Official Cambridge Applicants for 2024 Entry Thread

What college is this?? I have also applied for CS.

I applied for CS and I found TMUA shocking because of my own admin mistakes rather than the difficulty of the paper (which was easier than expected). I only managed to shade 9 of the 20 lozenges in the allotted time even though I had all 20 answers on my question paper with working out. ☹️ Paper 2 is ALWAYS the notorious one for me and so I don't think I'm getting anything.

I reckon you may have scored higher because when it comes to CS, Churchill is particularly competitive.

That's unfortunate but don't doubt yourself. I am eligible for a contextual offer if that's considered at this stage.

I believe so but it's also hard to say. One of my friends is at my school on a scholarship and he applied to NatSci at Corpus and got rejected from them. I don't think it's got anything to do with grades either because he has 5 A*s in Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and EPQ and read ahead in Further Mechanics 2 because he couldn't take Further Maths for A level (Our school stops us from doing 5 A levels unless you want to do the entire course outside of school and teach it to yourself). He got 11 9s in his GCSEs too, not that Cambridge are as focussed on GCSEs as Oxford are. He also said that the admissions test (NSAA) went OK for him.

Congratulations, my friend, and good luck with your interview! Churchill is extremely competitive for CS but I'm sure you'll do well if you have got past this first hurdle.

Where else did you apply?

Wow that is very surprising he got rejected with those grades and 11 9s is very impressive.

I have applied for York, Sheffield, Durham, Warwick, and Cambridge, all where possible for CS Masters with placement. So far I have received 2 AAB offers from York and Sheffield so am pretty happy with that since one of them was going to be my 2nd pick.

I wish you the best with your application!

Where have you applied?

I applied for Cambridge BA, Imperial BEng, Durham BSc(Hons), Edinburgh BEng, Manchester BSc(Hons).

I might do an MEng but that can usually be decided while on the course.

I am predicted 5 A*s in Maths, Further Maths, Computer Science, Chemistry and EPQ.

I have offers from Edinburgh and Manchester so far, both of which I got within a couple of weeks of sending my application in.

I have an interview invite from Imperial which is happening in 9 days and I'm extremely excited and nervous about.

I applied to Gonville and Caius for CS at Cambridge.

Good luck with your interview, hopefully it will go well!
