Cambridge contextual offer

I’m currently in year 12 doing Biology, psychology and sociology. I live in a POLAR4 quintile 2 area however I attend a very high performing sixth form. I have an interest in studying at cambridge uni - specifically hsps or pbs at Girton. does this make me eligible for a contextual offer ? i’m struggling to find any information on their website.

There aren't contextual offers at Cambridge. They will consider contextual information when assessing your application but you won't be made a lower offer like other universities do. Your GCSE grades are looked at in the context of the school you attended for GCSE.

As above:

"It should be noted that we don’t use contextual data to systematically make conditional offers at lower grades, or to make allowances for a poor academic record. This information is simply intended to provide academic assessors with the fullest possible picture of an applicant, and the context in which their achievements occurred."
