So I'm a bit sad right now, because I just received this email from the people at Singapore (I applied from India):
A shortlist has now been drawn up of applicants for interview in Singapore. There are more strong applicants this year than it is possible for the interview panel to see in the limited time that is available. As a consequence I regret to have to tell you that you have not been included in the local interview shortlist. We are indeed very sorry to have to tell you this; however your application will continue to be considered by the Cambridge Colleges on the basis of your CAPO and UCAS applications and all other material on your file. Final decisions will be notified to all applicants by the end of January.
Does this really mean that there were not enough places for interview in Singapore, or are these nice words for "you're not good enough, buh-bye"?
Is there anyone here that was denied an overseas interview but went on to get an offer (possibly after an interview at Cambridge)?
