I got rejected for Physics.

Congratulations, you are superior :smile:

* I also got rejected from UNIQ Oxford. Life's good.. :'(


Commiserations, its probably down to the fact that I live in a pretty economically dire area, very little to do with grades I suspect.
Who else got a place on the Cambridge initiative: maths
Got in for Economics at Cambridge. :smile: Anyone else get a place?

Do Cambridge send an e-mail or a paper letter?
Got my rejection letter for Medicine at Camrbidge today :frown: im gutted. Didn't apply anywhere else either. Was my school tutor supposed to submit a reference with my application? Because all she did was confirm my applicaion buy didnt give any additional info.

letter
Rejected...

Was definitely expecting it and I'm not too upset, quite relieved actually! My summer is insanely full as it is. I didn't fulfil the important school/local area criteria.

However have got a place for 'Experience Cambridge: English & History'. Has anyone else? Unfortunately won't be able to take up on mine probably as I will be at Eton for a chunk of the 3 week period and will be in Tanzania for the final day. Bummer, it sounds wonderful.

Aw I'm sorry :frown: Did you get onto the Cambridge Initiative? :O


No I didn't... I had no chance despite fitting all the criteria as my school's reputation is too high.

I don't mind I don't deserve a place really and my school runs its own summer schools at Cambridge every summer anyway :biggrin:
Rejected for Medicine! Slightly gutted, thought I was in with a pretty good chance :L

Err I'm not too sure mate about that, it could be that. Contact them if you're not sure.

Nah I didn't have a reference number, I just left it blank :smile:

Hmm, what did you apply for? Don't let it knock your confidence. One will always get knocked down on the path to success. Just smash your summer exams and then apply to Cam and you should stand a chance. :smile:

Hmm, I live in a poor area too. My GCSE grades were the weakest thing about my application. Either way, I guess the competition was just too fierce.

Anyone heard from Cambridge yet? It's taking sooo long!! :unimpressed:

Yay! I had the grades, first generation for uni, under 18 :P and the relevant subjects :P I didn't meet any of the socio-economic factors :frown: but hey :smile: I'm just pleased to be doing something :smile: Do you reckon everyone who was rejected got invited or not? What criteria did you meet? :biggrin:


I think I only met 4/6 (under 18, grades, poor school and studying relevant subjects). Was expecting an outright rejection since I was anticipating the competitiveness but I'm pleased that they at least gave me an alternative :smile: Don't think everybody who was rejected got offered the alternative though. 853 applications for 35 places :eek:

Did you apply for UNIQ? I did and didn't get a place, though I thought I suited their criteria more :frown: Ah well, Cambridge is still the dream!
