Official Cambridge Adjustment 2020 thread

I recently received an email from Cambridge informing me that I am eligible for their adjustment scheme. One of the conditions is that I exceed my conditional firm offer. However, my firm is Warwick and one of the three alternative offers from Warwick is A* A* A*, which I obviously can't exceed. Will I still be eligible for adjustment on UCAS on results day if I get A* A* A*? Thanks.

I have two questions:
What if I dont get any offers so technically I cant exceed my "offer" and so would I not be eligible anymore?
Would you lose your firm offer if cambridge rejects you again?

Firstly, what course? And if you really get no offers there is always UCAS Extra.

Secondly, no. You still have your Firm.

Medicine

Thanks for the info!

Ok, good luck landing at least 1 offer

What is your 5th choice?

Biomed
Thanks I'll need that!😂

Hey, does anyone know the total number of people who exceeded their firm offer from last year (not necessarilly accepted), as well as the number of people who got 3 A*s out of the people who got accepted via Adjustment.

Somewhere between 71 and 200 exceeded their firm and applied.

71 accepted of which 67 took up their place.

No idea how many got A*A*A* specifically.

Hi Doones and JohnD8099! ... Anything further on this? ... If the Course is Maths, then get A*A*A* and exceed STEP Offer Conditions?

When they say “exceed your conditional firm offer” do they mean for the university you put as your firm on UCAS? Or do they mean the conditional offer for your cause at Cambridge. For example my course at Cambridge is A*AA but my course at my firm uni is AAB. So if I get A*AA (meaning I’ve exceeded my firm Offer but not exceeded the standard Cambridge offer), is that still okay?

Just found this FOI. It shows the number of applicants and acceptances via Cambridge Adjustment in 2019:

Overall 152 Applied, with 67 Accepted.

Thanks very much. I would've expected the maths one to be higher because of STEP. Quite scary that only 2 applied and neither accepted.
