Official Cambridge 2022 Applicants Thread

Hey! Aw that’s so cool I applied for med! How your application process been going?

Oh, I'm international so if it was at 7pm it would be like midnight/1am... @Peterhouse Admissions does time difference get taken into account for international applicants interview scheduling? Thanks in advance

hey fellow HSPS applicant here ! (although not at Newnham... sorry ) but similarly to you guys it was sort of a late-ish decision. I'm interested in lots of different things which was why choosing just one or two subjects to do at uni was hard, so likewise stumbling across the HSPS course one day was completely random but perfect. what did you apply for at your other options?

fingers crossed for you guys! best of luck

Any geography applicants?

Hi, I applied for HSPS last minute too haha! To Corpus Christi though. I applied for Politics and IR everywhere else and I've had two offers back from Queen Mary's and ULIP (Paris) already so I'm really excitied. Do you want to message me and we can do a snapchat group or something?

Please email us!

We (Peterhouse - we can't speak for other colleges here) tend to schedule interviews between 9 and 5 UK time. You'd be really unlucky to get an interview at the one time you can't do, but best not to take the risk!

I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that they tend to interview you between 9 am and 7 pm (or 8 pm maybe...something like that), so you should definitely email them.

Just email - better safe than sorry with these things, and say you did get assigned this day - much more fussy to get it sorted then

TSR rules prohibit setting up groups outside of the platform to ensure safety of the users. Best to set up a thread. Good luck.

Hi!! Day 2 of me being over-excited about finding other applicants I applied to KCL Social Sciences, LSE International Social and Public Policy, UCL Sociology, and QMUL Politics and Sociology as my backup. They're all basically combinations of Sociology and some Politics with different names. You can tell my indecisiveness is massive haha but same I genuinely cannot imagine settling for just a single subject, it feels too difficult. The UCL sociology was a shock choice as I wasn't expecting to be able to say just one subject, but I really liked their modules. What about you? Where else have you applied? Good luck to you too, you'll smash your applications!!!

Ahh amazing, we have two unis in common! I applied to LSE, UCL, Durham and Bath for Politics and IR. Similarly, I couldn't decide on just one subject so joint honours looked best for me. I thought there wouldn't be many HSPS applicants but I think there's a reasonable stronghold on here, probably because there's so much flexibility it attracts a lot of different students

Any Engineering applicants here??

Yes, which college have u applied to?

Hi, I am applying to Cambridge from another university and I am required to submit both my high school transcript and my university transcript. However, as I am a Year 1 student and haven't taken any exams in university, I would be unable to hand in any university transcripts until the end of December. I am wondering if I should submit my high school transcript now despite the SAQ guideline mentioning I should submit the two transcripts as the same file?
Edit: I have sent a few emails to the College I applied to last week, but I haven't received any reply from them. This makes me a bit worried as it is already a few days past the SAQ deadline.

If you’ve missed the SAQ deadline I think your application is invalid…?

Yes. My son has applied for Engineering
