hi!
1) maths, further maths, physics and chemistry; A*A*A*A*
2) i've already applied - cambridge, ucl, durham, lancaster and bath
3) for cambridge, if i get an interview, will i have one for physics and one for chemistry? or will there be a maths one? my personal statement and MCA are fairly evenly split between physics and chem, with a hint of bio, so there's no clear science i'm heavier on for them to interview me on (if that's part of how they choose interview questions?). i'm applying for the physical stream at clare college, if different colleges do it differently
best of luck to anyone else applying <3
