College Admissions for Subjects

Is there anywhere online/in a prospectus where I can get information on subject specific admissions per college, for example, Queen's admits around 10 Law students a year on average, Kings' only admits 2, etc...?

Or will I just have to contact each college individually?

Thanks.

colleges dont like to give them out, so you need to contact the colleges individually and beg. Whatever results you find out would be good to see on here though, so post em up!

I think that'd very hard to do because for the arts subjects the colleges do not have quotas. Most will say we admit 40 arts students, so the nember per subject will fluctuate per year depending on the number of applicants. If you are interested the closest you will get in an approximation of the number of arts students they will admit.

Sorry I couldn't help.

that's exactly what people want though: Number of applicants to subject (by college) with number of acceptances!

But it would be very hard to do, and would probably mean not-a-lot because it will fluctuate each year.

Don't worry about the statistics... just go with the one you like :biggrin:

Thanks a lot Louise, those were still really helpful.

It would be just my luck to apply to a College that accepts only one Law student a year though......ah well.

Both of those should take a good few for Law - it's a big subject. However it is VERY competitive wherever you go! Be warned. But basically go where you want :smile:

the pool exists to help good candidates get into the university even if they don't quite get in their chosen college due to lack of space.

Thanks. I wasn't worrying about it at all until I found out that Kings' only take 2 or 3 Law students a year, which sort of got me slightly worried. Ah well. Like you said, the pool is there, just incase.

If you really want to know for any particular college, I can give you a good idea how many people there are (but not how many applicants there were, but see http://www.cam.ac.uk/cambuniv/ugprospectus/applying/applying02e.html) as I have a copy of the 2003 class-lists so I can count the number of people in any college for any particular subject in any year.
