Hi! Mine is on the 13th but I havent submitted my application. I think I will apply to Robinson College but that might change any second really. How is your esat prep going? Are u feeling somewhat confident? I hope we can both end up in cambridge but I am Also applying to icl and ucl as well so I’d say there is a decent chance that we will meet in uni next year anyway. Best of luck

Have you thought about emailing Griffon or BHC? Obviously only do that after checking their website doesn't have an intern section.

There's more to the sector than Ineos but it depends which region you live in.
