Why was I rejected from Cambridge?

Know it's off topic but have saw multiple cam students and few other brainchads here. Pls help bros it fucking stings, feel like such a brainlet.

Course: MASt Physics
Secondary academics: A*A*A* A levels, easily top of school
Uni Academics: Birmingham, 87% average in Physics, somewhere near the top don't know for sure
Extracurricular/internships: Some volunteering + 1 very selective research internship

A few days before interview I got in a really violent fight so went awfully, I did tell them this, I'll try describing interview:
2 questions on whether I'd covered Lagrangian and or tensors, hadn't done either
2 academic questions, answered 1 badly 1 "ok"
Question on 3rd year experiment, answered very badly

Was it definitely interview?

Because it’s competitive. Even if you are qualified you might not get in because they can only accept so many people.

Are you white?

White male

>Birmingham

top kek, also what sort of shit uni doesn't cover langrangians or tensors by the third year?

t: PartIII maths grad

ps kys

white male + bad interview

You told them you got in a fight?

Fucking hell, interviews are to gage the person, they can already see your results

You failed on the human part of the interview, not your grades

>A few days before interview I got in a really violent fight

there is your answer

Nobody wants to see white males succeed these days, not even other white males

lol are you from birmingham or did you just go uni there? I'm from the black country, went into academia, people just took the piss out of my accent. I quit 2 years into a phd and now I make £10k a month in communications for crypto projects.

Fuck middle class cunts. You'll rot in academia, its a socialist hotbed of losers with no place in real life, you're better off out of there mate.

>Fuck middle class cunts

What are you a fucking commie or something?
I bet you talk like a fucking shitty londoner with some inbred accent.

Same guy in on 4g so janny retards can't ban me

This is just pathetic. Not going to cope with racism I can't stand this 4channel meme. Pretty sure Oxbridge is 99 percent white/Asian anyway, the rich private school meme makes more sense but I highly doubt it's true either.

Yeah I don't care if you're going to be a knob head. They were options, I posted the same thing on sci and it seems like that was it.

Kicking myself now cause I took completely unrelated astronomy options instead.

Yeah. Walking home from library random roastie getting attacked and went to intervene. It blew up stupidly quickly, blood everywhere. Really fucking disturbing and lucky to survive.

What? How did I say I was a commie? Most academics are bourgeois socialists who look down on people just because they're working class, but they preach inclusivity. I actually walked into a bathroom and a bunch of them were mimmicking my accent after I'd given a talk. I've got no problem with people being rich, what I'm saying is, these retards think they're smart as fuck but they're slaving away in academia for pennies, looking down on those of lower archaic social standing.

And say I talk like a londoner again and I'll crack your fucking skull mate

I was born lower class and don't fit in. I don't care I'm here to work.

Come to Jow Forums...together we can blame the Jews, SJW's, pajeets and nibbas for your failings.
You SHOULD have gotten in but there was that one girl ahead of you...last name ended in -atel or -shriknam I believe...and despite her grades being a tad under yours, she got in to fill a diversity quota.
Remember a few weeks ago where that black hole was imaged? They didn't put the team leads on the fore, no! They didn't put the single white guy that wrote the overwhelming amount of code...no!
THEY CHOSE SOME CUTESY-HANDS-TO-THE-FACE JEWISH GIRL(!) as their public face of the project!!!
All this talk of diverstity was just conspiracy blah blah blah to you up til now,....well buddy, you just got hosed.
From now on your gonna be obsessed with looking up publications from that department and when you see an up and coming star you'll be thinking 'that should've been me' while you the best you could do is a part-time gig teaching at Leeds Technical institute.
Enjoy your diversity...'Part and Parcel' lad.

This is where you're wrong, Classism isn't about wealth, It's about self conduct and behaviour.
And the destruction of Social Classes is a Communist ideal.

How do you talk then, voocaroo it or I'll jus assoom u frum landan

recommend you take that b1 english level before your faggot pseudo science

>This is just pathetic. Not going to cope with racism I can't stand this 4channel meme. Pretty sure Oxbridge is 99 percent white/Asian anyway, the rich private school meme makes more sense but I highly doubt it's true either.

The "whites" there are mostly kikes.

>Yeah. Walking home from library random roastie getting attacked and went to intervene. It blew up stupidly quickly, blood everywhere. Really fucking disturbing and lucky to survive.

You really are a brainlet aren't you? Not surprised you blew it up the only surprise there are fabled prior accomplishments.

you're delusions if you don't think that you scared them as a white male admitting you had just been in a fight.

Racism is real and it's against white and asian males especially in Academia. Don't be a fucking soi boy white knight with your head in the sand.

Nope. I conduct myself very professionally and always have - in a business capacity. The world of academia is different, because it's full of bourgeois socialists.

It's just the whole atmosphere of universities these days. For example, the lift was out of order for a day and people were bitching about people with disabilities. Of which there were none in my building, save a super fat girl who always rode the lift. I suggested to my colleagues she wouldn't be so fat if she used the stairs instead of the lift occasionally. It was complete, deafening silence. Felt good though. But I've said similar and worse to colleagues (straight males) in business settings and had always had great laughs.

Academics take themselves too seriously, and take offence at loads of minor shit, yet it's ok to take the piss out of me because I'm white, male and straight and I've got a funny accent? It's hypocrisy - which is why I feel salty about it.

Not gonna do a vocaroo but here's the accent -

>The "whites" there are mostly kikes.
No they're not. Barely any Jews in UK

>Not surprised you blew it up
You don't understand the situation at all and I'm not trying it out on phone. Violence was clearly only option left and not just going to wait for police.

I don't know about the us, but it isn't, at all, in the UK. Good universities are overwhelmingly white or Asian

p.s. to add it's not about racism, or sexism etc., I don't believe I should be conferred some privilege over any other race or gender, it's just about hypocrisy.

Ahh black country, yeah I just call that Northern.

Ok so why is it that most universities have turned into communist training camps brainwashing generations and not allowing anything remotely right wing to be taught.

I agree the atmosphere of universities is disgusting and its because of lefties. Pseudo intellectuals who consequentially end up being mini communists complain about needed experience for jobs when they think their degree entitles them to jobs when that's exactly what Marx was wanting. They fucking hypocrites and just chose the lefty arguments for when it suits them.

Or complain about being poor and think communism is the answer because it means everyone gets paid the same, well guess what commies. A Marxist society would be BAD for the entire world because there would be less of an incentive to work hard and achieve success.

>Problems exist on the side of the elite as well. One of the paradoxes of our time isMittleschicht verschwindet mittelmaessigkeit herrscht. That is, middle class disappears and mediocrity reigns. Competition is so intense in the academic world and the winners are less impressive than ever. My explanation for this is precisely that the reigning paradigm is a bubble, and this means that just as available jobs diminish so do the desired qualifications for the jobs change. More important is that the job be used to sustain the lie behind the bubble, which requires intellectual mediocrity or timidity, usually both. So in conjunction with the increasing incentives for defection is the possibility that young, ambitious smart people have less and less of an obvious place in the ever shrinking number of jobs sanctioned by the dominant system.

>Well, much is said about the importance of the working class in the politics of anti-globalization, precisely because the economic model of globalization has the effect of casting more and more people out of the middle class. This is true, though I would also argue that very similar forces are leading to an increasing group of extremely intelligent young people who will be either unemployed or underemployed. The easy middle class existence that helped keep the Boomers so pleasantly docile in the face of the nation’s transformation doesn’t exist as a possibility for many my age and younger. So the opportunity cost of defection is diminishing. As defection accelerates, parallel institutions are formed that in turn diminish the marginal cost of future defections. There is a logic of a cascade effect at work.

>Violence was clearly only option left

Causally take photo call police, or just be like everyone else and don't get involved. You had no idea who started it and despite who was winning the fight.

Same guy fuck jannies

Is this what "redpilled" magatards tell themselves? It was pretty clear the guy was trying to grope/rape her or just batshit crazy

Yeah everyone else did do nothing apart from a few call police but not a fucking pussy and would hope if my gf was getting attacked a random guy would stick up for her.

You're a lucky user, but you still don't get it

You got involved in a fight you had no idea what was happening, yes she might have looked like she was refusing him but that could be to manipulate on lookers, women are like this.

You could have been like everyone else and no got involved but no you jeopardised your university and probably didnt even get a thankyou bj from said women.

Also getting in a fight with someone who is potentially mental unstable. I'm sorry user but thats just asking for trouble.

I’m at Cambridge.
Just dropping by to say - you’re not as smart as me. Ha

Imagine fighting a random bloke in Birmz OP. Are you even from the West Mids originally?

Not Northern, Midlands. And Black Country is very distinct and far superior to Birmingham accents. We have a strong industrial heritage, good humour, hard workers. Very poor though.

because you're a worthless snivelling creature. you were barred from the reputed institution of higher learning for a good reason, you're an embarrassment that'll never amount to anything.

OP can you describe exactly what you thought would be the outcome of:

1 - Stepping in on that fight. Did you expect the girl to thank you? Did you expect any kind of reward? Were you honestly just acting out of altruism? What happened on your mind to make you go into that fight? Did you know the guy was not armed? Did you think he'd just stop?

2 - Telling the interviewers about the fight. Did you expect them to see your altruism? What exactly was the thought process? Did you understand you could be jeopardizing your university choice and career choice on the bet that "being the hero" would be something the interviewers would understand? Did you tell them this out of panic?

I don't think your academic life is over, and wherever it is you study you can probably make it, but I just honestly don't understand if this was you being a whiteknight of sorts and really believing real life is like reddit and everyone would upvote you for jumping on a random violent lunatic on the street.

>t. person beating up random women on the street

On phone so can't give huge answer

Did you expect the girl to thank you?
No, expected her to run off which she did
Did you expect any kind of reward?
No
Were you honestly just acting out of altruism?
Yeah, I'm sure everyone walking by was disgusted by it but no one else had guts to intervene.
What happened on your mind to make you go into that fight?
Felt disgust and decided to intervene, it was honestly very natural. Never really considered myself brave also have some feminine traits like vegan, bisexual, into femdom and so on. By far the hardest part was first step towards him, after started approaching adrenaline took away absolutely all fear made the rest very easy.
Did you know the guy was not armed?
He was armed with knife, I didn't realise at first. Very highly doubt I would have approached if I knew. Furious by this point though so suicide attacked him anyway, he was obviously on drugs or something cause fell over very easily and then bit at his face until he was unable to fight then layed on him until the police came.
Did you think he'd just stop?
No knew was going to have to win, although aware worst case normies might join in and police would eventually arrive.

My IP is changing cause on phone

>Did you expect them to see your altruism?
Yeah but for it not to effect academic assessment
What exactly was the thought process?
I was FAR too shaken up to perform well in interview, couldn't even get the most basic shit right. Crying a bit and obviously not in a good mental state. Knew I needed an excuse or something to explain shit performance so told truth.
Did you understand you could be jeopardizing your university choice and career choice on the bet that "being the hero" would be something the interviewers would understand?
I thought it was over to be honest before it even began, was in no state at all to take interview. I tried delaying it but it didn't work.
Did you tell them this out of panic?
Sort of, I tried going without saying anything thinking maybe just maybe could pull through. The very first question was "what other universities have you applied to" and I was beyond stressed by that point, broke down and said truth at first academic question.

>I don't think your academic life is over, and wherever it is you study you can probably make it, but I just honestly don't understand if this was you being a whiteknight of sorts and really believing real life is like reddit and everyone would upvote you for jumping on a random violent lunatic on the street.
I know it sounds cringe but I try holding myself to highest level of excellence/being model citizen and obviously world would be way better police if everyone intervened in stuff like that. Everyone could have ganged up and wrecked him effortlessly.

Also vaguely a "Chad" and sort of used to this from growing up, far more confident/aggressive/violent (would never attack for no reason though) than average normie

Violence is almost never the only options. That's a pussy point of view, I'm serious. A normal dude would be like "chill, dude" and try to solve it peacefully instead of risking his life over a roastie. Not saying this is why they rejected you, but you probably did look like a pussy which surely doesn't help.

>A normal dude would be like "chill, dude" and try to solve it
Chastising an angry man isn't a good idea. Best to intimidate him - but that's only possible if you are intimidating in the first place. Then, only your presence is enough or a couple of angry words thrown at the man.
He did the best he can. That's what matters.

He was clearly batshit and unreasonable. Second I started approaching he got ready to fight
>but you probably did look like a pussy which surely doesn't help.
Is this a joke?

Attacking someone armed with a knife myself unarmed expecting to die and ripping into his face/biting his ear off. Without wanting to blow own trumpet that's obviously something 99 percent of people wouldn't have the guts to do, most people pretended nothing was even happening not a single person talked to him

this topic is either best bait of the year or the perfect illustration why nobody can take bongs seriously

I guess I don't understand the thought process of attacking someone who is armed with a knife, and why this would affect your performance if you got out unharmed. Sounds like you were making excuses. Maybe it's cuz you're young... but you have to understand that the examiners don't give a shit about your personal life. If you can't perform under stress, that's your problem.

Getting raped or groped is not as bad as getting stabbed or having your face bitten off. Just let the cops deal with the aftermath and punish the guy for what he did, rather than for something he might have done in the future.

>See shit that's wrong, react
That's a frame of mind worth cultivating. OP should get ready for being an entrepreneur with that attitude.

This is just pure cringe internet chat. Even a normal fight is stressful, a life or death one is terrifying beyond anything you could imagine before you've actually been in one.

People successfully file for extenuating circumstances over things as little as gran dying

That was an incredibly stupid thing to do and bragging about being a brainlet got you rejected from Cambridge. Being a crying mentally unstable faggot didn't help either.

Astronomy is the bullshit subfield of every physics department. It's where people with no talent go. I have no sympathy.

If you perform badly in interview then no shit they will reject you. 87% is decent but you are up against people with 95% in physics and who qualified for american ivy league exchange years.

>That was an incredibly stupid thing to do
It happened very naturally not something I gave deep thought to. I imagine many successful confident people would behave identically.

>Being a crying mentally unstable faggot didn't help either.
Let me guess, overweight "redpilled" drumpftard who'd have walked straight by and done nothing. So much easier to chat shit over the internet instead of doing anything.

I'm actually a vegan, "democrat", bisexual (not American though) etc and heard so many times on Jow Forums about hurrr durr faggot pussy but guess what when it came to it I was the only one who could back their words up irl. Kys.

I've never met anyone above 90 percent, 95 just seems insane unless maybe it's in maths or exceptional student at awful uni. Are you American (in the UK the highest category begins at 70)?

>not something I gave deep thought to
>I imagine many successful confident people would behave identically
Wrong, successful people use their brains.
>I'm actually a vegan, "democrat", bisexual
You've said it all.

I hope you do it again and get stabbed to death this time.

What are acceptance rates like in Bongland?

Because over here, top tier burger universities will only accept 5-6% of applicants. 15 rejections don't hurt as much if you get 5 acceptances.

have sex

Main differences as far as I know
>In the UK acceptance rates are meaningless, hard part is meeting offer (exception is Oxbridge)
>in the UK Oxbridge is head and shoulders above the rest, us there's not a huge gap between top ones

lmao vegan democrat bisexual in one of the worst cities in UK. The bloke probably would have battered you anyway just for walking past.

Pussy ole

Grades in NA are way different than in the UK. Grade inflation is rampant. The most common grade in Ivy colleges is now an A and the median GPA is an A-. A+ and A give the same GPA, mind you.

>have sex
bend over

>In the UK acceptance rates are meaningless, hard part is meeting offer (exception is Oxbridge)
I'm confused. What is meeting offer? Like an interview after they determine your scores and grades aren't shit? (In the US your application sometimes includes an interview by an alumnus, but it's all one stage.)

>in the UK Oxbridge is head and shoulders above the rest, us there's not a huge gap between top ones
That's my impression too. Don't think I've ever even heard of any other bong universities.

You've got to get certain grades on your final exams (the offer). If you've got a vaguely realistic chance of meeting that unis offer you'll be given one. Offers range from absolutely nothing for Foundation years at worst universities to A*A*A at the most selective courses.

The only exception is Oxbridge where it's harder to get the offer then meet it.

>why do I keep getting rejected fucking niggers and their affirmative action
>turns out it was rich people buying spots for their dumbass kids
LMAO that was a nice shitstorm

Can’t tell if this thread is bait or no.

>he hasn't covered Lagrangian
thats why you fucking imbecile, being serious

the redpill on oxbridge OP here goes.

Basically about 25% of the people there are groomed to be intel officers. recruited not to because smart but because they can be controlled (but are also not stupid). i'm talking mil int etc, gchq, mi6 etc. if your parents work in this area or are "civil servants" you'll know what i mean. so are your parents in this crowd? it helps.

Second of all oxbridge is NOT the best unis. I know i know but muh newton etc. A shit ton of money goes into marketing these two unis across the world for the purpose of making thier research be seen as the defacto standard. a lot of what they produce certainly around physics is disinfo. ie lies to suppres military tech and stop it entering the civvie world. i know you won't believe this but whatever. you've been told.

if you wanna know which are the best unis to go to in terms of real world research and working with top companies look at things like the wages of people LEAVING the uni going into business. look at the wage league tables. not the league tables you see in the paper the times saying hurr durr cambridge best at everything.

Cambridge here. We don't think a "crypto currency investor" has the mind and drive to succeed at Cambridge. We must maintain a certain pass rate.
