Me, pooled from christ's. What about you? I'm pretty sure I have no chance of getting fished as my law test went horribly.

Don't give up hope because of that - the way I see it, it's a good thing because it means your interviews must have been good! I'm pretty sure the only reason I didn't get a straight rejection is because I meet the autopool criteria haha.


Haha, thanks fellow Robinson poolee. I don't know if I should think negatively so if I get eventually rejected, I wouldn't feel so bad or have hope. To be honest, I'd rather Cambridge to tell me now if I'd been fished or not, then I can move on quickly.

anyone pooled for English? I'm from Sidney Sussex and apparently they pool loads, but it's so competitive I'm not hopeful :frown:


Me! Pooled from Selwyn, not expecting to be fished :frown:

exactly, I don't understand why colleges can't just email people of the outcome straight away after the CAO sends the email out about interviews etc, pretty sure it's not that hard!

Who's heard stuff for maths? Still waiting... I thought the chances for maths applicants in the pool would be quite good...


I got a offer (from the pool) for Homerton, a lot of mathmos seem to be re-interviewed I reckon its because most people have high UMS so its not much of a distinguishing factor

I don't think you should make any assumptions based on wording :smile:


haha.. okay :smile: but why would they say we recommended you if it wasnt the case? :/ anyways i have a UMS of like 85 so i dont expect it was autopooling :P hey,, as i'm an international applicant and they dont interview me, does that mean i should hear back from them before interviews start?

Edit: in case it helps anyone or for the stats, my original pooling college was Trinity

Incredible, well done :smile:

What do you think my interview from Fitz will be about? Will it be like a normal interview, or a weird post-pool kind of interview..

Thanks, I've got an offer for history and unless when I visit newnham I absolutely hate it I really would love to go - look beautiful and company friendly! I would be reading history - thoughts?


I can't imagine you would hate it - it's a very pretty college and the only downside is that there's only a few really good kitchens in the college but that's the case at a lot of the colleges, I believe. As you've already experienced an all girls school that won't come as a shock to you, so I imagine you'll be fine and as other people have said you can put as much or as little into college life as you want. Some people spend their entire life in their college whereas other people pretty much just sleep there and then spend their waking hours with friends from other colleges. I imagine history is probably more female heavy (maybe 60:40) but it's not so female dominated as other subjects like English or languages. I don't know though, that's just my opinion based on the people I knew when I was at uni and the applicants I come across on here!
