Is my UMS too low for Cambridge economics?

I've got 91% on AS economics, 93% on AS physics, and 94% on AS+A2 Maths, which is an average of 92.7.
I heard that compulsory pooling requires 93% overall, so I have missed the chance.
But ultimately, is it enough?
I mean, what UMSs do you guys have that received an offer?

Many (most?) people in the pool aren't compulsory pooled... and UMS is just one factor for a Cambridge application. 92.7 is certainly worth applying, if you like the course and the university.

It's just one choice out of 5 and not applying guarantees you won't get an offer :wink:

Hi!
I study economics at Cambridge and your UMSs are definitely high enough!!
As a comparison, mine were
AS maths I got 93 UMS
AS further maths 81 UMS
AS econ 91% (not UMS)
AS politics 96 UMS
AS history 85% (not UMS)
Yours therefore are definitely good enough - I don't think I'd make the 'compulsory' pool (never even heard of it) but was normal pooled and got in! Nothing to lose by applying!!!!
