    Can you confirm or deny my suspicion that Henry is actually a time traveller from the Victorian era who stumbled upon a portal whilst exploring a tomb in Egypt, and has now befriended a group of physics students in the hope that they can help him return home? ;)

      You mean criticism that was probably warranted? Just because something works out doesn't mean it was the right decision. Those teachers likely have seen 10 similar situations in which the person failed to get in and ruined their chances for their uni of choice, give them a little bit of a break.

    • @sunway1374
      @sunway1374 Рік тому +2

      @Michael-mh2tw Nobody knows for sure. If you feel strongly about something despite the negativity, you should try. No such thing as ruin your chance of a uni places. We have many years to live and the universities will still be there. Try it again next year if you make a mistake. I started doing a math degree at nearly 50.

      @@Michael-mh2tw Who says it was? 10 other similar situations doesn't make the 11th the same. Teachers need to do better and not get away with negativity so much. They are really ruining dreams for what? Some people would give up while clearly they could have made it. Always believe in yourself, and don't listen to negative teachers who tell you not to do stuff.

Also, I think entertainment has some art form to it and requires English majors so props to the English majors in this video as well.

    You realise how old you are when people start talking about how they are watching friends for the first time...... I liked hearing from some 'new' people I don't think we'd seen before like Dan, Henry, Jacob and Emma. Very interesting. Coming from New Zealand I still find it nuts that you guys in the UK have to sit 12 or 13 subjects for GCSE, that just seems insane to me, I did 6 at the equivalent age and it was hard enough!

      Joe O'Carroll at my sixth form college my tutor advised us that we shouldn't waste too much time worrying about and prepping for interview, so I only really thought about it in the week or so leading up to it. I revised my a level syllabus for each subject and answered a few mock interview questions with a student in the year above who had just started at Cambridge at the time and was helping out. As for the entrance exam, I just prepared by attempted the specimen paper they had online. The trick for both the exam and interview is just to know your a level courses well.

    • @jenni4809
      @jenni4809 6 років тому +1

      Hey thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed reply. I'm actually in my first year at Bristol studying computer science but I'm not sure whether I've chosen the right course so I have been considering other options. I enjoyed maths and physics at A-Level and have missed studying it, but it wasn't my strongest point (I got a B) so I'm not sure if I would struggle too much with it at university level. I'm not sure whether to just stick with computer science, and potentially do a masters in something slightly more physics related (if that's even possible), or to transfer degree. Also, what kind of maths do you do in a physics degree? Is it more applied maths? In computer science it's a lot of logic and a bit of pure math as well such as group theory, and I'm not great at this type of maths.

  • @hannahbansal4572
    @hannahbansal4572 4 роки тому +1

    I have a question if anybody could please answer. Cambridge follows the "term" system wherein there are three 8-week terms. So that's hardly 24 weeks wherein most of the best US , Indian ,etc universities take atleast 9-10 months time of their students on campus. In that respect, isn't a US student getting a much better experience and interaction with their respective environments and obviously there's more time to explore a lot of other stuff too(very important in my opinion for maths, related stuff which I'm aspiring towards). Potentially at Cambridge I'll hardly be spending 1.5 years while at US unis it'll be 3.5 years. ( Also I am a sucker for going into deep mathematical concepts, whilst not sacrificing the breadth so on that respect Cambridge course structure seems appropriate)

      @NegativeAccelerate 4 роки тому

      Raphael Castello 578 points in my leaving cert
      H1 maths
      H1 applied maths
      H1 physics
      H2 geography
      H2 accounting
      H3 chemistry
      It probably equates to A*AB, AAA or something along those lines. To get into Cambridge engineering I needed 4 H1s and 2 H2s if that helps.

    • @NegativeAccelerate
      @NegativeAccelerate 4 роки тому

      Raphael Castello I never applied to Cambridge as I wasn’t sure what was happening with brexit and assumed I wouldn’t be able to afford it. My parents also wanted me to remain in Ireland and no one told me to apply to the UK. I thought about it but was never bothered to go through with it. I do remember jokingly trying to create an enlarged brexit meme out of emojis for my personal statement. (I didn’t think I’d be able to go to the UK due to brexit) but never finished and forgot about it. I hear AAAA is extremely difficult to get so well done.
