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

Originally applied to Queens, now I'm going to be re-interviewed by Homerton for Bio NatSci! I'm so pleased it's not a rejection anyway. Does anyone actually know what happens in the interviews for the Winter Pool though? Or is it just the same as our last interviews? I don't know what to prepare!!!

What happens if you went for a choral scholarship at one college (Clare in my case), but have now been pooled?!?! What happens to your scholarship (if I've been given one obviously) if you get fished out by another college? Please help!!

No idea - but if the choral scholarship is not specific to a college, I can't see why you wouldn't still have it if you were successful at another.

Just wondering whether you know if I'll have to take the cambridge law test at my interview if I took the clare law test at my original one?

I don't - if the test was college specific it's possible that Selwyn may ask you to do theirs. Though I would expect them to tell you so in advance if that's the case, it would be a good idea to be prepared for the possibility that they will not warn you.

Search the thread and you will find this has been answered at least twice.

HELP!?!? Is a winter pool re-interview just the same as our first interview? Will it be general or subject specific?

The same rules about interview discussion apply as did in December.

You should prepare for both, if nothing is said in your interview invitation. It's more likely to be subject specific, though, I would have thought.

I have updated the OP with further FAQ as they have arisen in the thread. Please do go back and read it before posting questions as the more the thread fills up, the more difficult it is for people to find what they really need :smile:

I missed a phone call. It was around 6:30-ish.
The number, my phone says, cannot be displayed.

Damn. I'm trying not to get my hopes up. It was probably an ad or something... :frown:

Same!!!

Any medics heard?

Why the telephone call? Why not just email?

I was pooled by Murray Edwards for Law. I'm guessing I have a slimmer chance then considering its an unpopular college!

Hey hey, I am pooled by Murray Edwards for Medicine. Glad someone is in a similar situation as me.... Good luck to both of us!!

A telephone call is probably faster, you may not always checking your emails at the 'right time'

Your statistics is very useful.

Is it true that there have been mostly re-interview offers today and the direct offers will typically follow in the next couple of days?

Is it safe to assume so or have been many direct offers already today.
