<p>Did anyone in the US get an invitation to be interviewed yet?</p>
<p>I applied for Math at Trinity, and so far no response.</p>
<p>I'm wondering if I either got rejected or if my application got lost in the mail...
Should I email them, or is it typical to take so long for a response?</p>
<p>I want to find out sooner so I can plan the flight...</p>
<p>Don’t worry, you probably won’t hear for a few more weeks. I don’t think they start giving out interviews until the middle of November, at the earliest. I think that’s when I started hearing last year.</p>
<p>Any other Americans apply to Oxbridge?</p>
<p>I took the BMAT (Biomedical Admissions Test) last week. I applied to Gonville and Caius College in Cambridge. I heard invitations are sent out towards the end of November. Good luck, I hope to see some internationals over on the other side of the Atlantic!</p>
<p>I have the same doubts. I am anxiously checking my mail and email everyday for the invitation. But we should hear back by the next week or so, since internationals are notified three weeks prior to the interview.</p>
<p>Martin, which course/college you applying for?</p>
<p>Economics at Trinity! We’ll probably be there for the interview at the same time ;)</p>
<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I’ve applied to Trinity for Economics as well. I’ve also been suffering from interview-anxiety disorder, which I hope to go away soon.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Hey guys,
Something really strange happened. I sent an email to the admissions person at Gonville and Caius asking when they would review BMAT scores and when would I know if I have been invited for an interview.
She emailed me back with an attached pdf, which contained a interview invitation for December 7th. I am ecstatic, but I don’t understand how they could have graded the BMAT so quickly (I took it last Wednesday). Maybe they invite everyone for interviews…?</p>
<p>Maybe I should send a email to Trinity.</p>
<p>i just got invited for an engineering interview at cambridge (churchill college) on dec 8th!!
anyone else got an interview yet?</p>
<p>After reading around on some British forums, I think virtually everyone gets an interview invitation. You guys should just relax and be patient =)</p>
<p>^ O. In that case I do not feel so excited anymore that I got my invitation for Mathematics at Trinity.</p>
<p>It’s December 9th for me though by the way…</p>
<p>Which airport should I get off of to get the Cambridge? I suppose London, but there are many airports in London…</p>
<p>I’ve got one for economics, december 5th, at sidney sussex.</p>
<p>Derivative, I’m getting off at Heathero (not sure if that’s correct spelling), but it’s the major airport in London. I think I’m gonna take a train from King’s Cross station to Cambridge. What about you?</p>
<p>Is anyone doing their interview over the phone, webcam, etc?</p>
<p>i’m going to try to… i won’t be able to fly out there, so that’d be the only other option.
are you? did you talk to them about it/know how that’d work?</p>
<p>I actually applied to Oxford instead of Cambridge, but if I do end up getting an invitation there is absolutely no way I would fly over there. The college I applied to said they can accomidate applicants from overseas with phone interviews, skype, etc but I haven’t actually talked to them about it. Edinburgh was actually my first choice anyways, and I’ve already received an offer from them as well as Durham, so I’m not too concerned about Oxford anyways. I couldn’t really justify going over though, as so many people get interviews to start with…</p>
<p>The easiest way to get from Heathrow airport to Cambridge is to take the bus (“coach” as a long distance bus is called in the UK). Follow signs to bus/coach station (by terminals 1-3. There is a free train if you land at terminals 4 or 5) and go to the desk of National Express (or buy your ticket in advance online here [National</a> Express United Kingdom // Homepage](<a href=“http://www.nationalexpress.com%5DNational”>http://www.nationalexpress.com)). They will put you on the right bus for Cambridge. </p>
<p>The bus trip takes about 3 hours (and will probably stop at Stansted aiport too. This is really close to Cambridge but you can’t fly there from outside of Europe) but it is direct to Cambridge city centre. No changes, no hassle, not carrying your luggage.</p>
<p>The train takes about the same length of time but you have to buy a ticket for the tube to Kings Cross (because Heathrow is 15 miles or so from London really), then at KX buy another ticket for the train to Cambridge (but you can have your Harry Potter moment as it goes from platform 8 or 9. There really is a sign to platform 9 3/4). Wait around for this train. Then when you arrive in Cambridge, the station is out of town. So you have to get a further bus or taxi to your final destination. The direct bus is so much easier and less hassle in a foreign country when jet lagged.</p>
