Is it weird to ask for feedback? Like I'd like to know how my interviews were scored so I know what it was like

Could also help do mock interviews for people then


I would want that too but not sure if I really want to know the feedback from my Russian interview haha

Sorry to hijack the thread but has anyone received a letter/email from Clare for maths? Haven't heard anything yet...


My friend applied to Clare for Maths and received his decision via letter today.
I've seen a few others Clare applicants post about not receiving a decision (not necessarily for maths) so perhaps the post has just been delayed. (My friend lives in London if that helps at all!)

Sorry to hear that you have this added stress - I hope it all works out for the best!

I'm also thinking about this. Would be really interesting and beneficial to know my interview scores and whatnot.

Almost finished off an email to the admissions tutor of the college I applied to with "I hope the admissions process is runny smoothly."

They probably would have withdrawn my offer.

I also want to. Like, not a formal feedback letter where they spend quite a while going over it, just the scores I got in each interview. Might ask if that's possible actually. Let me know what they say to you.

Yeah I really wanna know! I had a test, wanna know how well I did, how well compared to others. Want to know my interview scores and why. Want to know what they thought of reference/PS. I mean I'm glad I got in and all, but I'd like to know just how close I was to failing.

Do cambridge do offer holder open days?


Not normally, although a few colleges do (e.g. my college, Murray Edwards, did - mainly I think because a lot of people are pooled here and so probably hadn't visited the college before).

Sweeeeet

I'm picking Maths B, Chemistry, Physics... And probably Biology of cells in case I wanna go into that stuff


Good module choice :wink: Just to pre-warn you, Maths B is really tough...

Cells turned out to be a really interesting module for me, and I ended up switching across to Bio modules this year - so it's definitely worth doing if you think you may be interested in Biology stuff.

(current 2nd year NatSci popping in to congratulate you all :wavey: )

I wouldn't email them now - they're still sorting out admissions stuff I believe/ planning the torture of Lent term for us lot...

I asked my DoS about my interviews once I got to Cambridge in October-ish, apparently they picked me because I was good at maths (lol).
