Now settled in at my hotel at Oxford, so the waiting begins. It may be a long night, but I understand now the comments from last year about needing to want it so much you can taste it...
Worth bearing in mind that, especially as the accepted cadets seem typically to number less than the available places, the people with whom you are being assessed are your potential colleagues, not your competition. You should have nothing to fear from treating them as such. I hope to get through tomorrow, but in doing so I hope also to meet lifelong colleagues and friends.
To all those waiting for news-good luck. To all those yet to be assessed-good luck. To all those trying again next year-the best of luck, and never stop trying.
