Cambridge Geography/Sidney Sussex Anyone?

I applied to Sidney Sussex College and I'm still waiting for interview invitation...
I've seen invitations this past week for Maths, Natural Sciences, Architecture and Land Economy from Homerton, Churchill, Murray Edwards, Christ's so far but neither the Department of Geography nor Sidney Sussex has sent out invitations. I desperately need some companions from other Sidney Sussex/ Geography applicants to keep me updated.
Some background if needed:
1) international student in UK boarding school
2) 5A* predicted- Economics, Geography, Media Studies, Business, Chinese
3) IELTS 8.0 overall
4) did not take GCSE

I've applied for BioNatSci at Sidney Sussex and I haven't heard anything either. No one else at my school (people have applied to jesus, Churchill, Caius, Pembroke) have heard either. I think a lot will go out next week since most colleges quote mid to late November as when they give them out. Good luck for interview, hopefully we hear soon 😁

Thx for ur reply! I got an email from Sidney regarding on my interview preference because I get to choose between online and in-person. They have stated that they will be replying late Nov which I assume is the last week :frown:( Someone in my school who applied to Trinity Hall for Asian and Middle Eastern Studies got her invitation today... congrats to her but now im sleep deprived 😶*🌫️

Omg I've been getting so many emails from them. I got one that asked me about my preference on what topics I want them to focus on, which I thought was nice. At least I can rest easy knowing they probably won't ask me about conservation

Awww Sidney is such as sweet college! idk whether that applies for geography since they have been ghosting me for quite a while. Hope good news will come to us soon, fingers crossed😼
If you have any questions about Sidney, I was a student there (graduated this summer).
