Can anyone answer this?
Once you've got a call telling you that a college has fished you and will make you an offer, how long does it take for the offer to arrive, and does it have to be a posted letter rather than an email?

It might be either, could take a few days, or it will show up on your Track first. In other words, it varies :smile:

Nope, not yet. I'm not feeling terribly optimistic now I've found out that last year only 1 person got an offer post pooling from TSR.......

I was pooled by Clare and got an email but no letter, where did you get pooled from? I think it's quite rude I didn't get a letter!

Fitzwilliam. I was sort of hoping for a letter, even though I had the email, but apparently Fitz prefer email. I guess I just love recieving things in the post and the idea of a letter from Cambridge appealed to my nostalgic side.

It just wont be the same producing a print off an email to my grandchildren when telling them about the time grandma nearly got into Cambridge... (*sigh*)

Definitely wrong! :biggrin:

I was outright rejected without being pooled last year, and I easily fell into the worst applicants to be interviewed group. Worked hard for a year and now I have an offer.

Another friend of mine in the year above got pooled first year then got straight accepted the second time around. :smile:

If you don't mind me asking what subject did you apply for both years, and in your gap year are you doing things relevant to your course?

The thing is, I can't fully concentrate cos my brain is in a psychological limbo (if that's the way to put it). On one hand, I try to believe that I have a chance, on the other, my realist way of thinking is telling me to give up on any chance of any offer!

Physical Natural Sciences both years.

This year I am doing Add. Further Maths and Geology AS's, might take them both to A2 if I find the time. I am also doing STEP (undecided on whether to go for the treble yet). I think I can probably wrangle some work experience from somewhere too. Other than that, tutoring people at my old college and working for money. :smile:

Any news?

Did you know that the N in PIN number stands for "Number", so thus when anyone says "PIN Number" they're actually saying "Personal Identification Number Number?"

But w/r/t pooling, no news here sorry :frown:
