Cambridge 2011 Freshers Chat Thread

I'm wondering why would the teachers work on Sunday. Just for looking at our results?

Same here. I was thinking should I phone them and ask for something else see if they would say anything related.

Yep, quite a high offer :/
I think it was due to my double maths.

Yep, they normally sort out results a few days before hand.
It allows them to prepare confirmation packs for Confirmed freshers and also to sort out paperwork for the Summer pool.

They also look at relaxing conditions of those who missed their offers, so they start working from now.
Also, they know that from Thursday, they are likely to get bajillions of calls, so they probably want to get it over with before then :P



You KNOW they won't do that :P -hug- CALM DOWN

Most colleges only have to process about 150 offers and if it is done on a subject basis considerably less. They'll probably be finished by tea time!!

And that just makes me more at them for not sharing their decisions if they have decided all our fates that quickly.

I'm savouring the last 3 days and 9 hours of being a Cambridge offer holder.

The amount of pessimism on this thread is painful to read!

C'mon folks! A little positivity please! I'm sure you'll all meet your offers and be fiiiiine

Yup, I read somewhere that university admission offices are open the sunday prior to results day.
Gosh crazy offer for you :/

I dont know why I never came across the word CAO.
can anyone explain this to me please?

Just out of interest, I was just wondering if people can still log into their SAQ's? I know there was talk about it around offer time and about what it meant.
I don't really believe there is any link but I tried to log in out of extreme boredom and it said my ucas id doesn't match their records. Is this the same for everyone? Hope it doesn't mean I'm rejected already

If I'm not mistaken, the SAQ form thing is more applicable just around new year when you find out whether or not you have an offer -- those who were straight-off offered or rejected were usually unable to access their SAQ forms, and those who were pooled are still able to. [But there were exceptions to this.] I'd imagine that, by now, no-one is able to access their SAQ forms.

I cant access it either- Scared the **** out of me . I think they must have updated it so that the next year applicants can start accessing it.

Ha yeah me too but I can't for the life of me think of anything to ask them other than 'pleeeeaaase just tellll meee', then I'd thought about maybe having a breakdown on the phone, but some how I just don't think they'll go for it. In fact, having tried this already in January (to see if I'd got an offer), I pretty much know the won't go for it.
But seriously though, what the hell are they doing that could possibly take 4 days? Theres about five people in each course, jeez.... get a move on!
