The Official Cambridge Winter Pool 2012 thread (includes FAQ and daily updates)

Same! and i have 6 exams coming up so I cant really afford to prepare for this interview.. i'm just going to see what happens and if i dont get it at least i was reinterviewed! what were your predictions if you dont mind? mine is 2A* 2A but im thinking a lot of candidates will be all A*s?!

That's great, congrats! I thought you were going to say that you got rejected because the first part of your message sounded a bit sad, but fortunately not!

Woohoo! Engineering as well? Or..?

anyone been fished for theology? nervously waiting for news but no one on here seems to have been pooled for theology.

I am a maths applicant originally pooled from Clare. I was lucky enough to get an offer through on track today. I'm so pleased!
This is, however, the first news I have had of my offer so I can't be sure what college it is from. The campus code is C (Clare) but I'm unsure if this is because it is where I originally applied. I would not be surprised if the offer is from Clare as both them and Corpus sent out decisions on track earlier. I was hoping someone might be able to tell me whether the campus code on UCAS would have changed if I had been pooled to another college.

Thankyou to Minerva and everyone contributing to this thread these past few days, it has done much to keep me sane!

I hope there is a happy outcome for everyone still swimming.

Hi, I just wanted to say that after ''swimming'' from Christ's for Classics I was fished out from Fitzwilliam today!! SO there is still hope for everyone out there still swimming! Do not give up hope! Thank you everyone for your posts, which I have been following for the last few days and your helpful advice and stats Minerva It's really kept me sane and motivated-I've even had a few laughs at all the ''fish'' puns''-apologies for adding to them. And also check your missed calls on your mobile!!! Phoned back a number that had rung me and was the DoS! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Hope you get what you wish for

Well there it is fishiesss....after today...those offers are gonna start decreasing. Our chances will decrease and eventually our fateful letters will arrive :/

Thankyou so much for everyone who gave advice and helped on this thread- particularly to Minerva and her wisdom. Afterralll...Cambridge was a nice dream whilst it lasted!

I have searched "Computer Science," and there doesn't seem to have been anything mentioned about it for a while.

Has anybody heard of any offers or reinterviews for CompSci, because I haven't heard ANYTHING. Have they not got round to it, or are they just not fishing anyone out of the pool for it?

Can't help but agree with you, it is the rational and logical thing to expect now. I do take pleasure in this though, as the wait is no longer so nerve-wracking.

My letter said i would recieve any news of an interview or offer between 9th and 12th jan..... no need to read between the lines there.. [my] fate will be sealed by thursday..

Not heard anything myself. If they weren't fishing anyone out surely they would have sent the rejections by now?

I am afraid I can't agree with any of you. Our fatal letters may not be rejections only, the wait still goes on until something is definite, and our fate will not be sealed after all. If there is still hope, I think we should cheer each other up and fight till the last second for the offers we deserve. Bear with me, there might be a new route that is just opening up. I am still waiting, and I don't believe most direct offers have already been given out.
