The Official Cambridge Offer Holders Thread 2016 Entry MK II

Sorry for asking another question.
I have read that Track will be online on 7am-8am on the 18th of August. Will the uni place be confirmed then or is it on mid-day on the 18th? I am slightly confused with when track will be updated.

Is there data to say how many of applicants miss their offer every year?

I haven't seen an analysis of it as such, but if you want to pick through the data yourself you can find the application stats here:

(edit: of course, that includes people turning down their offer after results day and possibly other cases)

Correct, a few will have taken up places outside the UK. But mostly it's people missing offers and it's approx 10% excluding Maths offer holders. For more, nearly half miss their offer

Hi everyone
Will Cambridge colleges send the college offer confirmation letters on the 18th August or before? I have been told, by some individuals, that Cambridge may send the confirmation letters one or two days before results.

Emma had said in the material with the offer letter that results and decisions are under a very strict legal embargo until the 18th and cannot be disclosed under any circumstances till then. So there isn't a chance of hearing before the 18th...

Ugh, since they make many more offers than they have places, it doesn't even offer consolation that tons of people have missed their offer so maybe they'll take you to fill the seats

Is that the case for all unis, or is it unique to Cambridge? Because I know somebody who had their offer confirmed by text from the uni (not Cambridge) the day before results day last year. So unless that was a mistake or something...

it contradicts other individual FOIs

It does? In what way? Sorry, I'm not very up-to-date w.r.t. FOIs.

It is a bit disappointing to see that Emma doesn't have much of a track record of taking 12s which is what I'm expecting, though I suppose 3 years isn't much of a sample size.

Numbers dont match with two other FOI's.

Uh oh. I'm sure they wouldn't be lying...

Who knows what to believe lol.
All i know is homerton summerpooled a 1,1 person but let in 1,3 2,2 etc. Weird.
I may be screwed, should find out soon though.

Just noticed that right now. What the There has to have been some reason. Maybe the 1,1 missed the A-level component of his condition or something
