The Official Cambridge Winter Pool 2013 Thread (includes FAQ and Status Reports)

Post-rejection, is it possible to get feedback on your application/interviews? How would one do this? Or would you have to wait until it comes through on track?

Yes. If it doesn't say how to request it in your decision letter, you can ask the college direct. Normally the information is sent to your referee.

Do u think theres amy chance that we could maybe get the letter tomorrow<?

Ahhh right good luck with caius and cleverrrrrr!!!So it's sooner than i thought hopefully

Ahh but the 20th of jan last year was the equivalent to this friday so hopefully 5 days or less! I'm not waiting on Girton btw, I was semi fished by Caius

Exactly, but even if it's an offer, that could still be distracting in the exam..!

Therefore, while it may not be a face-to-face meeting as such, there's no doubt that at some point next week (hopefully early on) there will be a review, by the admissions tutors working with those 'group chairs', of all the re-interviewees and anyone still being held in reserve, to decide who gets the remaining college-specific offers, and who gets an open offer. As was discussed earlier in the thread, this is presumably why most of the medics who have posted here have not heard anything, either way, yet.

Hey Minerva.

Just wanted to clarify, is it possible that a medicine reinterviewee can get an open offer?

have girton already sent out their rejections this year?

It is clear from this that discussions between the admissions tutors for each college with the 'group chairs' must be ongoing throughout the Pool and its aftermath. The reason for this is the need to absolutely control numbers - unlike in other subjects, there seems to be an exact quota and the university cannot afford to exceed it.

You've got the wrong link, it is giving error 404: page not found. I think this is the one you mean though: http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/admissions/handbook/section2/2_6.html

Go to the first post and the documents at the end show what info people have posted on TSR so you should be able to tell how many already got a rejection or are still waiting in the pool, it won't open on my iPad

Rejected by Pembroke for theology

Posted from TSR Mobile

Noones heard from girton yet...7 people were pooled by them n all 7 still hvnt heard so im guessing theyll reject everyone the same time as they send out offers next weej :/

My friend at college applying for Maths at Girton hasn't heard a word since as well. Don't know what's up with them!

My S2 exam is Friday so that's no good either! Yeah especially if it doesn't require an A* in physics, during the exam my brain will be thinking 'f being careful about silly mistakes, let's daydream about Cambridge'
If Caius are days faster than Girton I'll be rather jealous I have to say

My S2 exam is friday, we can't win either way.

(unless we get an offer of course)

Fingers tightly crossed for a letter on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday with an offer inside it then...
