Cambridge Offer Holders 2015 thread

Anyone else in the boat where they're the only one out of their friendship group to get in? My best friend and two of my other close friends applied (2 to Oxford, 1 to Cambridge) - all insanely clever, amazing grades, my best friend in particular I figured had a better chance than me for sure - none of them got in. Makes it a bit bittersweet.

Oh I applied to Christ's! When was your interview?

Indeed we shall haha, we'll defo organise something anyway

Got to start working... Anyone else insanely scared of not meeting the requirements now - so much motivation to work! We've got a few months to get into gear, also Jasey, I'm taking advantage of you being at Pembroke because I love the grounds, I had a tour there when I did a residential, but Corpus still won it for me

On Tuesday the 9th (I applied for Biological)

awesome! and I briefly saw your convo with paradoxicalme saying Downing, Christ's and Emma are really close to each other? that would make meeting up much easier

I know it's frustrating, but the fact that you have an offer is freaking amazing! Well done! And if your college is one you haven't heard of (like Robinson - I always forget Robinson exists but it's a lovely college) or an all-girls one or one far out from the centre, honestly don't worry about it too much. The same message I get from all my friends at Oxbridge is that your college will automatically be the best college.

You should be grateful you're not a Mathmo! we have STEP !!!!! half of us still arent going to make our offers!

Yeah in my maths class I sit in a row with 2 others, both Oxbridge applicants, both rejected after interview. One other really nice girl is waiting to hear back from the same college as me (for English ) and I really hope it's good news. Otherwise I'm the only one from my school!

Sorry if this is silly but I remember you saying you go to a really good private school; I'd have expected like 10+ successful candidates. Is this not the case?

Ah wouldn't have seen you then!

Our luck was just sour with the applicants numbers. I managed to scrape a place there


Well we can take turns going into each college, I want to see them allll

CONGRATS! ! I would love to be in your position in 2 years time !!. What did you get for GCSE?

YES!! and go to every formal possible omg. I'm such an awful cambridge fan in the sense that I've done no research on my college's traditions and what not so I have no idea what Downing ones are like haha.

also is anyone considering drawing up a list of the offer holders for quick reference? (For the nosier ones of us, including myself)

College: Corpus Christi
Subject: English
Conditions: A*AA

Any other Corpus offer holders? Also, if you have an offer from any of the central colleges - you'll be near me

I'm in the opposite situation where literally all of my close friends got offers but it made me realise how heartbreaking it would have been if even one of them didn't, so I really sympathise

I'm glad your friends made it The Oxford rejections came in a while back so people have had time to come to terms with it - they were pre-interview - but it's just so gutting. I wish more of us could have made it.

Also, by the way, if we both make it in I am totally taking advantage of you being at Pembroke. Pembroke's supposed to have the best food.

Has anyone created a facebook group for Christ's offer holders? There seem to be quite a few of us on this thread!
