Hullo!  I’m onto my second year reading Biological Natural Sciences at Homerton College, Cambridge. Being a very disorganised and somewhat spontaneous person, my application to a university as fussy as Cambridge was … not great, to say the least.  It started with the UCAS application. In the early stages, while others were furiously typing away,Continue reading “Natural Sciences Application to Cambridge (Anonymous)”
