I had to write essays but I don't remember about what. I mostly remember the maths test and telling them I wanted to be an archaeologist, and also borrowing a school jumper for the interview so they couldn't see the lack of buttons on my tunic.

I met shihadchick there, and we bonded over shared disappointment at how un-CS-like it was. I mean, a boarding school called St Cuthbert's! That sets up certain expectations.
