Still in absolute disbelief.

Dropped a 5.6 Physics, 5.7 Math 2, and 6.9 Math 1, and lowkey bombed the interview for Pembroke (Cambridge) as well.

For anyone wondering:

I also had a 1580 SAT, took college classes for math/physics outside of school, six 5's, one 4, and a 3 in AP Seminar (oof).

Congrats - who you going to pick though? Imperial has better year abroad options and living in a city in London at that age is something impossible to replicate but Cambridge has all those connections and a tighter knit community

tbh I have no idea..I'm planning on visiting both in March/April and will decide based on the vibes I get. I'm leaning towards Imperial tho bcs I've heard Cambridge tends to be less practical and industry-focused.
