Mood: Screwed

This week has been extremely stressful. So will next week. My Cambridge interview is on December 7, and I have two interviewers. One of whom is a mathematician, researching "modular representation theory of finite and algebraic groups (a branch of modern algebra)" and is interested in "finite-dimensional algebras such as the Schur algebra and its quantum variants and in the combinatorics of quivers". The other is President of Pembroke College, specializes in Mammalian Physiology.

Sweet Jesus. What have I gotten myself into?

Oh, and Nottingham--conditional offer of 85% or above average on all subjects, and a pass in AP Calculus.

At least you can't see your interviewer's face!

Nuh uh, for Cambridge (and most universities, I imagine), the interview is part of the admissions process, so they use it to go beyond the grades. So no offer from Cambridge yet.

Ha ha, and even if they DO make me an offer, I bet they'll want 555 on all my APs or something.
