Oh no! I am going and my friend is too. I think maybe because they don't want us to miss any school considering we have to meet such a high offer? Yeah I know what you mean though, there's a school trip that week from my school which I would have wanted to go on if there was enough places - suddenly glad that there wasn't! I'll let you know what happens though :smile:


Thanks! You might be able to find out how many Arch & Anth offer holders there are, I think Newnham take 4 on average so I can't believe we're the only ones! I really wish I could come as I don't know anyone who's going to Cambridge so it'd be nice to meet people beforehand. I hope you have a good time though. What subject has your friend got an offer for?

Yeah I am quite intrigued to see who else got offers as well. I remember talking to another girl at interview who was applying for Arch & Anth so I'll see whether she got an offer. I only remember there being three of us on the interview day though but I suppose more may have come later or there were people I didn't hear what course they were applying for.

There are 6 coming to Cambridge from my school (the most that I've ever heard of in one cycle from my school). She's got an offer for medicine.

From looking at the timetable on the day, I think they were interviewing 5 people for Arch & Anth but they do often take people out of the pool as well.

Your friend's done really well to get an offer for medicine - it's meant to be really competitive! This year my school had 2 people apply to Cambridge which I think is the most they've ever had as well.

Oh okay then, I don't remember seeing the timetable - I most likely did but don't remember it at all. I'll let you know how many people are there for Arch & Anth.

Tell me about it! Two of the six have offers for medicine, they've done so well.

Come on Catz!! Update Track already D:


Oh, I feel you. It seems like I've been waiting forever.
I actually got my letter via snail mail just today. Thankfully I had enough sense to e-mail them (I think I would have gone insane otherwise) and they were able to send me my offer a week ago. Still...feels good to have it on paper. :biggrin:

I emailed on the 6th around noon but I still haven't got an answer. xP I got my letter on the following Monday though, thankfully. All us Catzians should just flood Jo's (the admissions coordinator) inbox nagging her to update Track!

If you want to know anything about Pembroke or engineering I'd be happy to answer any questions :smile: The college is amazing and I'm really enjoying the course.

Oh, wow...still no e-mail? Well, at least you have the letter.
I guess we'll all have to suffer and wait some more for Track to be updated. At least I'm not alone :smile:
Let me know when you hear anything, though...or I might just take you up on that offer and start bugging Jo as well :biggrin:

Yeah, that's how committed she is I guess. I'm not really surprised, she "mislaid" my written work just to name a couple of mistakes she's made regarding my application. P:
She could do with some nagging :P

Really? She misplaced it somewhere? I'm not surprised you two don't appear to be the best of friends. Did she find it eventually or did you have to send it again?

Well, I have no idea what she did with it or if it turned up afterwards but that's how she phrased it. Luckily I had a copy and I had to bring it with me to my interviews and then ask the porters to give it to her.
