No, I haven’t! I also applied to Wolfson - hope that’s not a bad sign😆

I applied to Wolfson and haven't heard anything. Hopefully won't be long before we hear, although I am assuming the worst for myself now. Good luck! 🤞

I applied as an open application but got put with Hughes Hall and received an interview today. Good luck to everyone :-)
Hey, good luck with hearing back! Hopefully it won’t be too long now. Sorry, what do you mean by “your profile”?

I'm surprised rejections haven't come out yet, on the forum last year it looks like they came out at the same time as the invites for interviews. At this point I am assuming pre-interview rejection, but it would be nice to be out of this limbo.

Yeah, same here! I’m hoping that maybe it has to do with fee status or any other kind of administrative thing, but I’m also assuming the worst. Good luck to you!

How is everyone prepping for interviews? Can we reasonably expect A Level Bio and Chem (and Physics??) to come up as well as work experience and ethics??
Good luck today to anyone interviewing! How is everyone feeling?

might be good for anyone else with an interview to fill this out for future years!

Hi everyone! I'm new here and I want to apply to Cambridge A101 this year. Can somebody tell me what is the difference between colleges ? I'm kind of confused. Is it harder to get into one then into another ? Or are there any particularities ? Any answer would be appreciated.

so basically there are 4 colleges - neither is harder to get into, admissions are run by the clinical school not the colleges. But they’re just like ur point of base, so when u stay there you live in that college etc. So pick one ud like to live in, or do an open application and they’ll assign you one. neither has a better chance of getting in so don’t worry

Oh my god same. I felt so stupid trying to overcomplicate things. I'm pretty sure one of the tutors rolled his eyes because I was making things too complex (the worst is I knew you had to do step-by-step reasoning but for some reason, I was like no this is not good enough and tried finding reasons to explain a problem instead of pointing it out).
Also, I was pretty surprised that we were in there with 8 other applicants, it's logical that they would do many at a time but I didn't expect to see them at the start and then again at each step.
