Christ's College (Cambridge) Students and Applicants

I think he was referring to the interview at Manchester, which AFAIK, is correct.

Oh, sorry. I was getting confused as to whether I was interviewed at a different college or something

So hang on. That was your Cambridge interview? Sounds pretty savage - im sure you did well though although I'm tempted to say:

*cough*thendontapplyformaths*cough*

Few questions:

1) What was the accommodation like?
2) Was there anything to do in the evening besides worry?
3) How many other interviewees were there?

Cheers. As always, good luck

1) Fine
2) Yeah, you're in Cambridge after all
3) I saw 3 others today, not for long, just between interviews

I think the B sequence was a joke though

Can you elaborate on two. Did you just go around cambridge randomly or were there specific things to do at the college?

And whats all this about B sequences?

Well, I went around Cambridge randomly meeting up with various people there.

Don't worry about it. One of my interviewers just had this certain sense of humour (which I quite liked) and made a comment about it. Anyway

Cool. Hardly anyone I know is applying there.

I still don't have a clue about this B sequence thing (maybe its a maths in joke?)

Sounds good though. What mathematical things were you asked. Was there a lot of calculus?

I got a B in GCSE English Literature
An interviewer made a joke about it.

Nat Sci interview on 17th i'm terrified
At least i know i have offers so i should have somewhere to go

got my interview info yesterday! anyone else here (apart from SimonM i believe) applying for maths?

I am - apparently I'm in the December group (whereas all but one other person applying to Cambridge in my school have their interview dates set already). No letter as of yet, however does that mean I'm not first choice and that they are still deliberating over me?

Don't worry about your interview. It means you're getting an offer.

My interview was mainly a chat and only had some physics/maths stuff at the end. The guy wrote it on the board and I just talked through it with him. Even though I hadn't been taught the stuff yet the guy was really enthusiastic and sound despite me not understanding the equations (not really my fault my physics teacher is going through my course backwards!).

And most people I talked to didn't even get any theory at all. So Don't Worry!

All done. Wasn't too bad in the end
