Computer Science Interview advice
Hey guys I wondering if anyone had some solid advice for a cambridge computer science interview! I'm applying to Gonville and Caius and my personal statement is packed with a lot of Quantum Computing, so I was also wondering whether I'd be asked much about my personal statement and secondly how much evidence colleges ask for as evidence of tasks done on personal statements (mainly so I can prepare any certificates beforehand!)

They will choose a tutor to interview you who is able to discuss the maths you have claimed to love.

I looked at the Caius Admissions tutors and none of them unfortunately have a specialisation in the area, I can explain everything I've put in my PS, I was just wondering as to what depth they go into as I may need to revisit some stuff I did last year

They aim is to ask you a few questions you don't quickly know the answer too so they can see how you work out the complete answer as they explain part of the answer.
