Cambridge Decisions 2015 - info and FAQ

Scroll to see replies

Hello both

When I saw this I assumed you were both medics, and aersh8 has confirmed that for me.

My understanding is that there are a number of applicants for Medicine only who are still being considered for an open offer. What an open offer means is that you would be guaranteed a place - assuming you met your offer conditions in full - but the college you would be placed at won't be decided until after the A level results are published in August.

Each year, a small number (about five) of these open offers is made for Medicine. Unfortunately it appears that the process of allocating these open offers hasn't been completed in time for the main mail-out, hence the terms of the letter you've received today. I don't know how many people will be in contention for these offers, as Cambridge has never published this information so far as I am aware, but it is fair to say that the odds in favour of getting an offer this way are not as good as they are for the re-interviewees. The 'open offer' group as I understood it from previous years is completely separate from the re-interviewed group, but I can't confirm that now because the information is 'behind the wall'. Here's hoping that they will make their minds up and let you know quickly.

Applicants for all other subjects - except the re-interviewees, who know who they are by now - can be assured that their decisions have been made, and that this information will reach them some time over the next few days.

See explanation above :smile:

Yes they have - these were decided on 6 January, and are being communicated from now.

This is a special case relating to Medicine applicants only.

I have my results, all of them. I'm a gap year applicant (Not re-applicant though). It would still apply to me?

Yes - in that case if you got an open offer it would be unconditional, so you'd be guaranteed a place, but the college would not be decided until August. You would take precedence over anyone who missed their offer.
