Cambridge response?

Anyone heard the result of their Cambridge interview yet? Last year's applicants (and some from previous years) all seem to have heard in the first week of January. This is driving me nuts!

I heard yesterday and got rejected, it was a long shot anyway because my grades aren't particularly Cambridge worthy AND i'm resitting some A levels, you should find out before Saturday at the latest otherwise phone thembut anyway surely no news is good news?

Dont worry guys, they do interviews in two batches as there are too many applicants to do at once. The second batch is no better/worse than the first batch, its just simply a matter of where your application ended up in the pile of applications on some admin persons desk. Apparently they dont start interviewing again until late jan/feb so ull probably start to hear towards the middle of jan and into feb. I know its frustrating but try not to worry, you wont hear anything until they start interviewing again so theres nothing you need to worry about.

Don't worry about London, I emailed them not the other way round just to check they'd received my application because I sent it in relatively late, I'm in exactly the same position as you, I'm down to 3 choices now but I'm still positive, like so many people have said before it only takes one offer and when you consider how many people apply to all these universities and that you got interviews in the first place it's certainly not time to start worrying yet :smile:

aka chloe u have taken the panic off momentarily! i had never thought of the fact that you only need one offer, i have heard of people getting 3 (!) and worrying becuase i haven't got any yet!

Hmm.. Just got my letter today, I sort of guessed it would be a rejection by the size of the envelop. It's a pity though, I would've love to study there. Though I know my interview performance wasn't all too good, and so were my BMAT results I am still going e-mail them for some feedback. I don't think clearing is theoretically possible, so I it's probably good bye Cambridge!
I think I've been rejected by Nottingham as well, as I haven't received anything yet. And as others already heard from Edinburgh I think the RVC is my last hope. Congrats to the ones with offers BTW!

Hailz88, what were your GCSEs/predicted A2 grades? Assuming you are an undergrad applicant. Stage 1 was the academic stage where they filter out purely on grades.
My letter said something like "we have assessed your academic abilities are sufficient for entry for the D100 course and would like you to complete a questionnaire as part of stage 2."
The deadline for that was December 22nd so I reccomend you phone them up and see what the situation is. Good luck!!!

This is in response to a post which someone put about the RVC interviews

Email

Hi,

I’ve just checked your student number and you are on our system and your application is being processed at the moment. We expect to notify people who are to be invited for interview within the next 7-10 days. Interviews will take place from the middle of February. If your application is unfortunately turned down then you will hear directly from UCAS.

Best wishes,

Paul Norcross

Don't rule Edinburgh out yet Yeti-Boy.
My brother didn't get his interview for Edinburgh until March and didn't get an offer until April. :smile:

Hey Echolife, welcome on TSR.
Thanks for posting that! Would be pretty cool to end up there, especially since they're constructing this new building...
There aren't too many Glasgow applicants around here are there?
