Cambridge Decisions 2015 - info and FAQ

I'm sure Cambridge is not trolling you and I do hope that the admissions office deals with international applicants' emails first, and then updates your UCAS... I don't mean to be mean, just a bit annoyed after such a long wait

What did you get an offer for?

My fault for not wording right, i think they just want to meet you in person to see if you are up to standard as mentioned on personal statement/reference. I feel as long as you didn't mentally breakdown and answered a reasonable amount of questions then you don't have to do exceptionally amazing at interview to receive an offer, given that UMS are good.

NatSci XD

Well no. People with 99% don't always get in after interview. I've seen data with people on v high UMS getting "lower" (<7) scores and not getting offers.

Also many people think they had a bad interview but actually do well.

You did well at interview

Congrats

Are you waiting for corpus decisions as well? I guess corpus is the only college that doesn't give updates(hope they don't withdraw my offer when they see this)

I guess international student is treated the same as UK ones since I'm in some painful waiting as well. No worries I now think we'd eventually get it it could be the admissions tutor is off ill/holiday

Has anyone applying for corpus christi received their UCAS offers?
I got my offer letter on Saturday but still nothing on my UCAS yet, most classmates applying for other colleges already got UCAS updates I wonder is Cambridge trolling me?


Just a personal anecdote for people still waiting offers: I feel I did poorly on my interview only answering 50% of questions, I was in deep sadness for a good fortnight meanwhile some other kid in my school is showing off how easy he find the interview questions and 90% sure he'd get in. In the end this guy got straight rejection.


I feel that the interview does not matter too much for decision making I think it's my 99% UMS carried me through.

Track updated!

If I got an offer but a subject was not needed in my offer do I still have to do it?

Do i need to inform them?

Technically you can sit the exam and fail it. If you decide to not sit the exam at all you have to inform them and UCAS and all your universities will have the right to change their decision.

For which college?

Christ's - mine has updated too.

Any medics with open offers on here? Has your ucas updated/have you received your conditions?
Thanks

I don't think they've started giving out the open offers for medics yet, they have yet to have the meeting I think.
