I received a rejection for homerton law today after unsuccessful pooling.
However, at the end of the email , they stated that I met 'adjustment' criteria due to some contextual flags they found within my application.
Can someone explain what adjustment is and consequently what chance I may have to get into Cambridge through the 'summer pool'

It is essentially just adjustment. Adjustment is a means by which the university fills up places (if it has them) if people have missed their offers on results day.
I would say that in general the chances of receiving an offer through adjustment are pretty low (in other words I’d avoid banking on it) but it’s worth a try imo.

The way to look at this is more like having a raffle ticket.Do not plan around winning a raffle but if you have a ticket you are in the mix.Medicine seems most likely to come up.The last few tears have been a car crash for Adjustment stats and scheme was new just before the pandemic so this year may be more fruitful but do not bank on it at all.

do you have to have been pooled to have a realistic chance at adjustment

yesss I had the same thing! I was rejected from Magdalene for history and politics, I’m going to try again for reconsideration as I think I’ve got nothing to lose so I might as well

I'm applicable for adjustment as well - rejected from Homerton comp sci. I looked at the data for the last few years for comp sci and it looks like a 20% chance of getting in which is pretty good

Hi so I’m eligible for adjustment but wasn’t pooled
I also have pretty average GCSEs and just got my interview feedback which was 5,4 with some quite brutal comments (I’m quite shy and let my nerves get to me)
Is it worth applying for adjustment in august with these stats?
