I don't think Clare makes that many, despite what people above have said. Christ's is the one most known for it, and other colleges may make them if they really like someone, but most people have AAA offers.

Yeah, I received an EEE offer to study medicine at Christ's - which I am now doing. EE/EEE offers are there I think to try and attrsct the best candidates - give them a challenge to try and go for, and also to relieve some of the pressure on A-Level results so you can do extra exams like AEA or STEP instead and read around your subject more. Although the offer is EE/EEE I have not met anybody at Christ's who having been offered a so called matriculation offer did not get all As at A-Level. Christ's offer about a third of places on these offers but I'm not sure if other colleges do. I heard vague rumours about Peterhouse giving out one or two - though I am not certain. I think a couple of colleges at Oxford gave them out a few years ago but I'm not sure if they still do. Good luck if you want to try and get one, though as long as you have good A/S scores they're not too hard to get.

I got one for medicine at Christs. It's EEE but I also have to take 2 AEA's in the summer (though it doesnt apparently matter what I get). I think this year at least, christs no longer give the EE offer but ask for EEE and 2 AEA's. You're apparently expected to try to get good grades in these (i.e. they want to give you a challenge), though not too many people will be busting a gut to do so!
Other colleges do give them but only for certain subjects (e.g Fitz). I've heard that places like Trinity do give them to unbelievably exceptional candidates for Maths.
Alex...I guess I'll see you next year!

The other person that got into Cam this year at my school got offered EE for Oriental Studies at Corpus Christi, but he's most probably going to get As even if he doesn't try!

a lad from my sixth-form college got an EE offer for Nat. Sci. at Christs, but i was chatting to him recently, and he said he still was going to carry on doing his 5 a-levels (6 if you count general studies...) and he will try to do well, which means, as its him, he will get five A's. i laughed, but he said that the five subjects will all help him to do beter at his degree, and i guess he has a point.
My history teacher did tell me once that she taught a student who got an EE offer a while back, did nothing all year, actually got EE and although he obviously was able to go to er, oxford i think it was, he was hauled up in front of the dean on the first day and got a very harsh talking to!

In the days of the old Oxford entrance exam they used to give a lot of matriculation offers, but since it was abolished it's practically unheard of.

A guy at my school last year got an EE offer for NatSci at Christ's. He got 6 A's at A2 though and I think 8 AS's all A as well. He was seriously a genius. I spoke to him the other day and he said that Cambridge was really simple too.

i would have prefered an entrance exam (and get EE offer) and less effort needed into alevels to allow me a chance to read around my subject etc.
tho i doubt i would have been good enough to get an EE offer.....cause i am the kinda person who would probably slack off for the whole year afterwards :P
