like the email they sent me only said that i'm pooled and doesn't mention whether another college is considering me or not. I am actually 99% sure that they just copy pasted every single one of these, except for the name.... Yours sounded as if it was actually 'personal'...
My email is the same. Only mentions that I've been pooled

Hi. Can anyone please tell me what you need to have a chance of getting in? What kind of A level grades and what else is needed like DofE or volunteering? Thanks in advance!
The average successful applicant has 95% UMS across top three a-levels. You'll need good interview performance too.
Received my rejection from King's this morning, was quite disappointed because I expected them to auto-pool internationals as well (regarding their percentage out of the best grade you could get). I wish I could know why, as grades and all the rest seemed to be alright, but I suppose I'll never know ... 
Good luck to everyone still waiting, I hope you get a better reply than me (especially if you're international)!

Quite frankly, any extracurriculars are unimportant and unnecessary.
The best way to get into Cambridge is to score highly in your AS level (95%+ averages).

May I know what exam you took?
I'm doing the Swiss Matura. Best grade is 6 and I'm doing 13 subjects with a 5.7 average (around 95%) in my last two exam sheets. Are you international too?

Nope. I don't think anyone has. Some people emailed and were told to ring tomorrow if they haven't received their letter by then (I actually think they didn't post them till today despite saying they posted them on Friday).

Just realised something… Aemilia sends emails from her own Cambridge email, not using the Cam Admissions email!
I think he has us well and truly trolled
