Cambridge interview update:
I screwed up spectacularly on my second interview. At one point I couldn't form a proper sentence. I was trying to read the interviewers too much, and I became more and more nervous as time went on. I sounded rehearsed. I ended up saying none of what I wanted to say despite being given the explicit chance to at the end, as I was too much in a state of "what have I done" to respond to the chance.
There's still the pooling system, but it's the worst feeling to realise how much damage you've done to yourself in 20 minutes.
I also badly derped the last not-particularly-hard derivative question on my first interview.
EDIT: Also, I'm afraid that one of the interviewers might have seen the Yao Ming/Moses face I drew at the back of one of my sketchbooks.
