My Cambridge Application / SAQ

Hi, just wanted to know if I have to complete the "My Cambridge Application" thing for the university within a given number of days after sending off the UCAS application, or if I just have to complete it by the 22nd of October. I remember hearing from someone that you must send of the "My Cambridge Application" or SAQ within 7 days of sending off the UCAS application but is that still the case?

I'm applying for Medicine 2023 if that is important btw.

Thanks in advance to anyone who has info on this.

As I understand it the deadline for the SAQ is the 22nd of October. I think the 7 days bit you've heard is because that date is 7 days after the October 15th deadline for Cambridge applications. So, if you apply on October 15th, yes, you will only have a week. But if you apply before that date, you will have however many days until the 22nd.

I wouldn't worry about timings, the whole thing is very quick and easy to fill in and the personal statement section is optional.

Hope this helped :smile:
