I had originally applied to clare college, got interviewed and received a letter saying that i had been unsuccessful for clare, but they had "recommended" me for the winter pool. I was just hoping that if Clare thought I had some potential, maybe an undersubscribed college would too?

I very much doubt I was better than the Fish!
St Andrews it is, provided they accept. :smile:

Unless, extraordinarily, an interview invitation has gone astray, this does mean that an offer is coming your way. I can't believe they would have phoned you otherwise!

They didn't phone me but sent an email, but I guess it's the same as long as they said that another college is going to contact me. Also, the email was the scanned copy of the letter, which was dated 9 January and didn't say anything about having already heard from them so I suppose this excludes the possibility of an invitation to attend an interview, which should have come earlier.

Having now seen the text of the letter your friend got, an offer is definitely on its way to him.

Thank you! I'm very happy, he totally deserved an offer. He's one of those rare people I've spoken to who you can immediately tell is intelligent.

Yeah there's only 3 of us and it's me and them in our further maths class too, so it might be a bit awkward for a few days next week :frown:

Don't worry, from what I understand there are some belittling arses at Cambridge any way :smile:

Does anyone know how long it takes for UCAS to update the offers? I'm from America, so I don't expect my letter for a while :frown:

Got an offer and I cannot fathom it. I am beyond ecstatic. So glad to see the news from everyone I have become familiar with through incessantly stalking the Cambridge threads :tongue:

Good luck!

Yeah that will be so weird, there's quite a few economists with cambridge offers on here now :biggrin:

What was your offer like? Mine was A*AA with the A* in any subject. I always thought it would have to come in Maths!

I'm still buzzing so much :biggrin:

I'm so happy that so many people from this thread have gotten offers! Makes me a bit emotional to think of it :') And to everyone who hasn't, you will go somewhere else amazing and do brilliant things, and a rejection is not a judgement on you as a person. They reject lots of people who would have done brilliantly there.

You got an offer! :biggrin:

Mine was similar to yours - my Lit offer is A*AA with an A in Lit. I was sure they'd specify the A* in Lit, but I could get it in Maths if I so please :tongue:

Want to genuinely thank you all.
Although I haven't contributed much to these threads, I feel like I know you all so well from watching all these posts over the different threads on the Cambridge forum, and I've got to say, my experience would have been much more confusing and scary if it hadn't been for people on TSR.
So thank you for making my experience what it was, and although I'm expecting a rejection on Monday, I hope I'll see you all around. :smile:

A*AA in Further maths, economics and English lit (any order) weird because maths isn't even included in mine aha, but obviously I have to pass it in order to get a further maths grade

Hello! I haven't posted since news about interviews came out but I've been watching, especially in the last couple of days! Was just wondering if there were any other Downing offer holders? I have an offer for NatSci (can't believe I am saying this!). Congratulations to anyone else who has an offer! :smile:

Ah, cool !

Mine was on the 12th

Mine was on the 16th so I wouldn't have met you. Isn't it simply surreal? Christ's had the most NatSci applicants this year :biggrin:

That was a self-report measure though, perhaps the Cambridge students were just very self-critical. :p:

What exactly did the letter say? Are you a medic?
