The interview process, I arrived in
Cambridge, my dad parked the car and I
very much gave him the instructions to
stay away from the college and go and
get lunch and then I walked up to the
college and I was greeted outside the
Porters' Lodge by very lovely students.
We had a lot of students helpers helping out. So you never felt like you were lost. There was always someone on
hand to give you help, to direct you, tell
you exactly where you needed to be and simply
just to calm you down.
Yes so something I think is really
nice now for a lot of us as students
here now is people we met at
open days maybe or people who helped at interviews who I got
some advice off them and speaking to
them about things and now we see them
around College every day it's kind of the
case of 'oh I remember you' you were so
helpful this you told me about this or
it's nice to see those familiar
faces especially during the first couple
of weeks of term
So I guess the main take away
going over the interview afterwards
with other people in the room
it was very clear that none of the professors that we were talking to were trying to
trick us or were out to get us with any of the questions.
They were very much interested in finding out what aspects of the subject we were interested in
and that made
each interview very personalised to the
person and to the personal statement.
