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

I'm so amazed I finally got an email today at 17:38, offer from Magdalene DDDDDD just when I'd given up all hope! Good luck to every one else waiting to hear, I hope the wait won't be much longer. This thread has really helped me survive, so a very big thank you to everyone (especially Minerva!) for all your encouragement and support, and wherever you all end up have a fantastic time xx

Really?! This is Cambridge we're talking about!

Is anyone here still waiting apart from medics?


Posted from TSR Mobile

I just got an offer for medicine via ucas track!! I'm so happy now.

Congrats! Which subject is this? and did you have a re-interview?

Was it an open offer?

Just so that people from Caius know; I got an offer and my letter is dated from two weeks ago (they sent me the pdf yesterday) but it still hasn't arrived.
So, the usual timeline I don't think applies to Caius this year.

Hi, new to this thread, has anyone heard anything from robinson for phys natsci post a second interview? I originally applied to sidney - got pooled then went down to robinson for interview on 11th and still waiting for news D:

My son got offer via UCAS track for PhyNatSci from Robinson after 2nd interview on Fri 4.50pm. They posted letter out Fri 1st class and it arrived Saturday.

I'm sorry if this is not the news that you really want to hear. For what it's worth my son's Head agreed he would call Robinson/Trinity(original college) Monday to find out what was happening. Given the now week plus delay perhaps yours would do that for you - maybe carries more weight than students calling up. At least then you will get closure one way or another.

Good luck, I hope things pan out how you want. Whichever way it goes I'm sure you will go on to do well wherever you go to study - to get this far in the process you must be a strong candidate who is good enough.

Ah okay well thanks anyway, feel as though i know where i stand a bit more now! Looks like ill be off to Durham instead!
Cheers and well done to your son

Durham seems popular choice on here - my son was going there if Cambridge didn't work out. I really liked the place when I drove him up there and wandered around. It is an excellent university.

Good luck.

I'd like to be optimistic, but I'm also a realist, and nine days is a long time, even for Caius.

I'm just confused as I was told Thursday that admissions had e-mailed the DOS the day before, but had not received a reply, but would try again later that day, and as soon as they knew, I'd know. So the only possible explanations for still not hearing are that a decision still hasn't been made, or they forgot to e-mail me the rejection.

If it's the latter, that's just crazy because I was told I'd be informed straight away....

I just still really want it, but am just so fed up with it all now!

And I can't believe I'm still on this forum because of it, instead of revising ARGH

I absolutely understand your feelings on this one. I'd ring them tomorrow and be - ever so nicely - assertive, and if that doesn't work then I'd get on to the central Admissions Office, as they are supposed to set the ground rules and may be able to ''encourage" Caius to get its act together.

The document in the OP says that all decisions MUST be entered into CamSIS by the 25th January. So if Caius don't respond, you should find out on track very soon anyway. Good Luck!
