Liberal arts

Ooh @Headingto18 has your DD applied for liberal arts elsewhere? DD is waiting on Warwick and has an offer for Birmingham LANS.
Congrats on the KCL offer, unusual for them to be so quick I think.

DS has been invited to Cambridge for an in-person maths interview at the start of December.

Well done on the interviews for Cambridge maths!

Redhotchillipeppers · 17/11/2023 16:09

Thank you everyone for your kind wishes.

@Jaxx is it for maths too?

losingtheplot999 · 17/11/2023 16:14

DS2 has had an email from Cambridge to say they will give him a decision next week on whether he has an interview.

Jaxx · 17/11/2023 16:39

@Redhotchillipeppers no History, which his maths teachers considers a “waste of a good mind” 😂. He probably wouldn’t even of done Maths A level if we hadn’t strongly considered encouraged him.

PocketSand · 17/11/2023 17:32

A number of students at DS's sixth form were invited to maths interview at Cambridge earlier this week. I assumed this was because they sit STEP later and there is no waiting on entry assessment?

Bleepbloopbluurp · 17/11/2023 17:32

My DD got her Cambridge interview invitation this morning. Cheeky thing didn't tell me until just now!! Very pleased for her. Humanities subject at an old and big college.

Silkiefloof · 17/11/2023 18:01

Congrats on all the interviews. Afaik no news here but only 3 applications in, one which never gives offers before Feb and one they've had only a couple of days and she needs to fill a form in for and Oxford with entrance test done which normally hear end Nov. Sorry for the rejections, their loss.

mushroom3 · 17/11/2023 18:14

Well done @Bleepbloopbluurp dd!

We were surprised as college had said they would send interview invites w/c 20th, so wasn’t expecting anything until Monday at the earliest.

Mine only checked because I reminded him via text to check UCAS lol.
