I presume Rocket helps a lot at this stage?

So if you miss your offer by two grades you definately won't be put in the summer pool?

I wouldn't say definitely, no, but it's not very likely in most subjects. It's not uncommon, though, in Maths for people with 2,2 or 1,3 to be in the Summer Pool.

For Christs engineering applicants will other colleges see the STEP scripts (will they see all three papers or just STEP 1 ?) in the summer pool.

The STEP scripts of those who are in the Pool will be available for people to see.

in case if miss my offer what other information do I need to send to the college other than UMS ? Apologies if I have asked this question to you before.

Is there any valud reason of someone with 1,1 not being pooled?

Nothing, but we already have your UMS as you're post A Level.

Hi I am currently awaiting my GCSE results and have 2 questions regrading admissions to cambridge for medicine

1) are IGCSE's favoured or give a slight advantage over normal GCSES
2) I was meant to sit my GCSE'S in summer 2015 however during my GCSE years i became ill with an eating disorder and depression and consequently ended up in hospital I ended up sitting 2 exams and so this year I have had to cram all my learning into less than a year to sit the exams i was meant to last year, additionally my school made me change exam boards last minute so i had 3 months to learn 3 new specs. due to my circumstances i know I have not got a string of A* and am predicted 1A* A's and B's however I really want to apply to cambridge for natural sciences or medicine, if I get really good A-level grades personal statement ukcat etc. is it worth applying or are my gcse's holding me back.

prior to my illness i was very academic however I don't want cambridge to judge me and reject me on the basis of my GCSE's because I am better than those grades

Thank you so much.

I can't foresee circumstances where someone with 1,1 isn't pooled.

Have you encountered a case where a post a level engineering applicant missed his STEP grades ?

Additionally from your experience do you know the average ums for successful applicants at summer pool (engineering){Any rough idea}

Additionally for those who were taken last year despite missing their offer, did you consider their other STEP scores or were they just based on how CLOSE they were to the boundary for grade 1 in paper 1 ?

thanks

so if I get 1,1 and don't have an offer will I be pooled? /s
