It was an absolute beauty of a storm here, we had 3 today, and tonight's was a beauty.

I don't get my forum birthday until Jan 10th next year. But I do have the Chester meeting on the 13th so I may use that as an excuse for a cake. I don't know which way the storm is heading but it is clearing a little now. Very muddy though on my fields.

August. My dad has to stay in London though to work.Car Expert
Oh no 
Why are you moving? Does this mean he'll live there?
Why are you moving? Does this mean he'll live there?
Norfolk is a much better place to live than London and more calmer. Plus the college has all the subjects I want to take (Geography, Music Tech, Maths and Computing). My dad will be able to visit us every couple of weeks or something.

Norfolk is a much better place to live than London and more calmer. Plus the college has all the subjects I want to take (Geography, Music Tech, Maths and Computing). My dad will be able to visit us every couple of weeks or something.

Yes, I'd rather live in Norfolk out of the two to be honest.Car Expert

Yes I think Paston is quite good.
I have visited it once or twice, quite a while ago though. North Walsham's quite a nice town.
And generally Norfolk is a nice place to be.

Yep. Glad the train station is right next to the college, but it is a bit of a walk to Cromer station from the flat, though...I have visited it once or twice, quite a while ago though. North Walsham's quite a nice town.

I emailed a woman from Cambridge about interviews and how to prepare etc. and her reply scared me...like I need to know the ins and out of everything I've mentioned, and
why did I do this? Better go and do some prep.
Hi everyone!
Nicki, don't worry!

Remember that you can only do your best.
As you did all the work yourself you will know much more than you think.

Well she didn't say I needed to know the ins and outs of everything but more like (paraphrased) knowing stuff is important as otherwise you won't be able to talk very much.

Nicki, you are an excellent historian and they wouldn't ask you do anything that was completely impossible. Maybe just go over your AS stuff. Could you talk about your personal study or would that stress you even more?

why did I do this? Better go and do some prep.As someone who has interviewed potential medical students in the past, we start with the usual routine questions, i.e. why did you choose medicine, why did you choose this university, etc.
Then we would ask questions based on what you have written in your application essay. So, if you say you like reading, be prepared to answer questions like 'what is your favourite book? why? what is it about? tell me a bit about the author, what else has he/she written?'. Don't underprepare this part because the questions are easy to predict if you think about it from the perspective of the interviewer. Even if you know the answers, you still need to practise answering the question in a structured confident manner.
After that, to weed out the outstanding applicants, we would ask questions relating to the current state of medical training and the NHS and health policies - i.e. to see whether you are aware of the current issues. These are issues which are usually in the papers.

First, anyone you ask from the College about the admissions process is going to tell you it's not easy. They'd be crackers to tell you it's easy, because then they run the risk that you and any number of other candidates don't take the process seriously.
Second, of course they expect you to know what you were on about when you wrote your application and personal statement. Same goes for the essays you submitted to them. Cambridge doesn't give out degrees in copying from the textbook, so they need to test the fact that it's your own work.
Third, it was your own work, wasn't it? So you know what study you did to write the essays and the personal statement, and as long as you can explain in a coherent manner how you got to the finished product then you'll be fine. What they are looking for in questions about your personal statement is to be sure you aren't all talk and no substance.
Fourth, that video interview you mentioned to me was predominantly about an exercise on the day itself, not a prepared piece of work. The extract the candidate had to criticise and talk about was DELIBERATELY chosen to be an area of history he hadn't studied. So this is more like the comprehension stuff you did in your General Studies papers, and you did those well, didn't you?
PLEASE relax a bit about it. Stressing really won't help.
*Scared of Katyjay's pointy stick* 
For my Oxford interview, I remember having to sit a written paper with the other applicants. Then 5 minutes before the main interview, read an article for discussion during the interview and then plod off to have an interview with the Chemistry tutor who asked questions on....chemistry!

I FINALLY got hold of Trinity College today, asking to get my audition moved back later in the day, but I have to wait for comfirmation grrrr 
However I'll have a A=440 harpsichord accompanying my Vivaldi Sonata like at RWCMD

I did my Oxford application back in the days of the 4th & 7th term exam.
In fact, I applied in the last year of both 4th & 7th term as a 4th termer. This meant that there were more applicants than any other year as people from my year who would have waited until 7th term couldn't do so any longer.
And then I had interviews in December at four colleges. All the interviews were remarkably similar - each one included spending time on a piece of mathematics of a type I'd never seen before.
In each case I thought I'd blown it because I said "I don't know" a couple of times, or got stuck in the middle of a problem. But I think, looking back, they were trying to see how I reacted to the unknown, and to see how I could be taught - so being able to say "I don't know" turned out to be a good thing.
I met a lot of other maths candidates while I was there for the interviews, and felt awfully intimidated at how clever and informed and confident they were, and I felt I wasn't in the same league. One of the other candidates I recall meeting during that time was really blase about the whole process, described the problems as "easy", had far better "O" levels than me, was a 7th termer with straight-A "A" levels....and didn't get a place. So perhaps it was all a "front" with him, and inside he was as insecure and nervous and worried as everyone else.
I think the point of this ramble is that Oxford, and Cambridge, are not interviewing to find out how well you can cram for exams. They want to know how you can deal with issues you've not encountered before, and they want to see how much you can take tuition. They want personality and common sense as well as academic achievement.
