The Official 2017 Cambridge Applicants Thread [part 3]

Nope. You will see a very similar experience on this thread tomorrow. It's all a manual process, and some is outside the college's control (i.e. the post - there was one candidate last year who didn't get their decision for days... @physicsmaths (and they were a reapplicant)).

I know its stressful but, ahem, it is what it is.



AFAIK none are automated.

cf. King's: "We will email the text of the decision letter to all applicants on Thursday (12 January). This will take us some time, so you may not receive your email until Thursday afternoon. Thank you for your patience."
i.e. It's not automated.

Has everyone here only applied Russel group universities?

Plymouth is potentially my insurance (depending on how tomorrow goes) and I didn't realise how low they were on the league table. Oh well, their medical school is BOMB. #silverlining

Anyone know whether Queens' send emails?

Not long now guys

Unless, like me, you have to go through the interview process all over again

So many people at my school got Oxford offers, including some of my closest friends and I'm so happy for them! Kind of makes me more nervous for tomorrow though. I don't know how I'll react to a rejection if I do get one. Will I accept it and move on or spend the next week rocking back and forth in the corner of my room...? No clue tbh.

Interesting fact for today: South Africans (and some others) say "Hold Thumbs!"

What school are you at?? Only 1 person in my year got an offer from oxford so far (still waiting to hear about 3 people) out of almost 20 people who initially applied...!

Anyone applied for Pembroke here?
Or someone from outside UK?

@Murray Edwards Admissions

I was wondering if Murray Edwards sends out letters along with the email on the 12th and if they do, are letters only sent to those with offers? Also, do the DoSs/Tutors phone those with offers still and will that also happen on the 12th?

I'll be on here to answer any questions people have.
