The Official Cambridge Offer Holders Thread 2017 Entry

If you wish to stay true to your name:

"I will accept this offer"

Darn, I've sent the email already but I guess I have a reputation to uphold. If I miss the offer in the summer I'll email Admissions with "I will be there in October". They'll be quaking in their boots like those on the Oxford thread.

why is that? I mean isn't it just for your id card thingy? my glasses are really wonky in mine lol

"All EU students are entitled to apply for a tuition fee loan from the UK Government. Even if you do not wish to take up this offer of a loan you are still required to go through the application process in order to receive the Cambridge Bursary.

"As EU students would not normally undergo a means test as part of this process you must complete an EU16B form which will be sent to you by the Student Loans Company once you have completed your application for the tuition fee loan."

"Most UK students do not need to apply separately for the Cambridge Bursary, you will be automatically assessed by the Student Loans Company as part of your application for student Finance from the UK Government."

So basically what jneill said...

Trust me mate, ur so screwed if its ****ed up hahaha

I had a really bad haircut too and the angle ain't great... Oh well...let's hope I don't need to take it out too often

When asked for 'proof' of grades achieved, are copies/pdfs of certificates acceptable?

I think they're interested in the UMS breakdowns so you need to send them a scan of a sheet with ur unit scores in it. If you haven't got something like that then maybe ask for a new one from school

No this is probably asking for the certificates rather than just the UMS breakdown.

@Bunratty a scan is fine but it needs to be signed / stamped by someone at your school to certify it's a true copy of the original. So usually you'd photocopy the certificate, get it signed, then scan and send it.

I left the school where some of these A-levels were taken 3 years ago 😶

Selwyn sent me a letter apologising that they didn't have enough space and congratulating me/any candidate that got an offer via the winter pool

Very nice of them

Well, you'll need to use it to buy food in hall. And at King's, we use it to unlock our rooms. And we have to show it everytime we go through King's gate. And unlock various doors in college, including library, and use it to borrow books, and etc... you'll take it out a fair bit.

Totally agree with those sentiments, my daughter received the same letter, a nice touch I think.
