They regret that due to high competition my application was unsuccessful

So much better than being rejected
I've noticed that the couse I applied for - vet medicine - is now on extra and im considering reapplying, obviously I'm going to call the university (and possibly college as well) and ask wheter it is worth it but I was wondering what people thought were and if anyone had gotten in on extra?

It isn't. Cambridge doesn't do Extra.

Any Cambridge courses listed are an "error". When you contact any college you will be told there are no places.

Downing sent me a letter, I haven't had an email about my interview, except one about accommodation overnight. I don't imagine it varies from subject to subject.

Oh right, I guess that helps (the refresh button particularly)

There were no forms that I had to fill in, though there was one to fill in if your home address or email was going to change before January; which I imagine does not apply to many people.

In the envelope I got the following:
A letter notifying me of the interview with the dates, times, and location of the interview, as well as the names of the interviewers.
A map of Downing College
The above form
A pack describing what they're looking for
A schedule for my time there

Good luck! Check Discover Downing on Twitter, it says when letters have been sent for different subjects.

F5 buttons across Britain fear the dreaded Oxbridge interview period!

I'd suggest you check Discover Downing on Twitter or FB, it updates when letters have been sent for different subjects :smile:
