As you can see, that’s all my unversities accounted for, and I’ve officially been rejected for Cambridge. I am actually quite thankful for that. If God had wanted me in Cambridge, I’d have got an offer. It’s less complicated now, and I don’t have to weigh up Cambridge/Imperial College. I am incredibly keen on ICL at the moment. And God timed me getting an offer from ICL before my rejection from Cambridge. If it had been the other way round, I’d have probably been a bit depressed.

Forgive me my ignorance, but what is a Sandwich year? Is it something like Cake on Fridays?

A sandwich year is a year-long placement in industry in the middle of your course (usually after the second year).
