Supplementary Application Questionnaire.

Cambridge send them to their applicants.

oh you spoilt the obscure fun. :bawling:

anyway, as said before - don't think so, no.
but a quick look on the official website to see whether they mention them in the admissions process would probably confirm that for you, no?

instead i think the UMS/class size type info Oxford recommend be put on the OAF reference (or mine certainly mentioned it). & the topics studied they can glean from submitted work or just ask you about. making an SAQ slightly redundant. :smile:

No no, as far as I'm aware Oxford are far superior to Cambridge. Therefore, there is no need for a SAQ due to their ability to merely "ask verbally." That is obviously an unusual concept to Cambridge, as they choose to overcomplicate things with an additional form.

Obviously, that was not written to provoke in any way :p:
