Where's the M2 Love? <3 =(

And also I read that it's simply just 90% UMS overall on the Cambridge Website... I'll try and post the link another time if I come across it again.

Edit: Aha, misread >.< It says 90%+ UMS over the A2-Units (like you said xD)

But when I phoned OCR they definitely, without a doubt, just told me 90%+ UMS over the entire course. (I guess she was just misinformed.)

Think they only include C3 and C4, because some people do M1 first year and S1 second year, which I guess is easier than doing say M1 and M2?

Ahh yes, good point. It's all starting to make sense now! xD

My interview went shocking, which is the most important part

Got an offer from Robinson College. Conditions: A*AAA, hard enough, I guess. Btw I'm an international applicant. So I'm quite happy with the offer.

Source?

Hmm you were just unlucky I guess. My interviews were shocking too, but it seems you really can't predict the process. Can seem a bit random at times.

I don't recall saying that in so many words. Perhaps a post in which I expressed something like that should have been followed with me saying "in my opinion" if I forgot to put it in.

EDIT: Having checked my "offending" posts, I've used the words "probably" and "is likely to" - stuff like that to express my uncertainty. I wouldn't (and if I have, I retract them) made any "certain" statements about their admissions procedure.
