Cambridge HSPS at Corpus Christi or others?

Let me know if you have received an interview from HSPS, I'm applying to Corpus Christi! Would be cool if someone applying to HSPS at Corpus sees this!

I've not received anything yet either! Im preparing by reading books and revising stuff I wrote on my PS, yourself? I just hope they email me soon, so I can start preparing properly. Super cool finding someone applying to the same course and college, good luck

I’ve been going through some curveballs, trying to really catch myself out with some unexpected out there questions, just trying to think on my feet - as well as going through my ps too. Still haven’t received anything - I hope we hear back soon, good luck to u 2!

I think the student is in there for safeguarding, I have a third year in there. I’ve been reading up a lil bit, I’m scared of the sociology one bc I’ve never studied that.

I’ve been printing out random articles, some more journalism focused, some more scholarly focused (like a critique on feminism) and just timing myself and annotating. wbu?
