Cambridge vs Princeton for Math

Colleges & Universities Princeton University

<p>I actually applied to Trinity. My application got pooled. During my interviews (I did fly over to England), I enjoyed Trinity, but did not visit Magdalene since I did not know I would be pooled and fished by Magdalene.</p>

<p>But even while I was there, most of the students had left since the term was over.</p>

42

<p>Go to Cambridge. It’s clear that Princeton is your #2 choice.</p>

43

<p>well, it seems that the OP chose Princeton:</p>

<p>Good on him; its the much better choice in my opinion.</p>

45

<p>I’d have picked Cambridge but…</p>

<p>to all men their own devices. ^_^</p>

46

<p>wahooooo oooo</p>

47

<p>I might’ve picked Cambridge too… but tough choice.</p>

48

<p>Well if I pass my STEP. I sent my SIR to Princeton in the event I fail my STEP.</p>

49

<p>Oh right! But if you do get 1,1 in STEP, will you go to Cambridge or Princeton?</p>

50

<p>I’m leaning towards Cambridge, but it’s all up in the air right now.</p>

51

<p>Reviving this thread.</p>

<p>I still have time to decide, and I should be focusing more on meeting my STEP offers…</p>

<p>Cambridge also wanted me to get a 5 in AP Stats. Hopefully I did…</p>

52

<p>AP Stats as in Statistics? That’s interesting. A friend of mine told me that universities were more interested in pure maths and mechanics…</p>

53

<p>Yah, Cambridge is making me jump through some hoops. I’m sure as long as I get a 1,1 in STEP I and II, they won’t freak out too much about AP Stats.</p>

54

<p>Oh right. Out of interest, did they tell you which STEP exams you have to do?</p>

55

<p>Yah. I got lucky and they told me I and II.</p>

<p>Even though I did enough mathematics throughout high school to do II and III instead. I figured they gave me the benefit of the doubt and since they might be sure what I did and did not cover as I am an American and not an UK student, they just told me to do I and II.</p>

56

<p>Lucky you! I am not looking forward to doing STEP next year…</p>

<p>I am not bumping this by writing a pointless post.</p>
