@04MR17 - Great - many thanks. If possible, it would be good to have drop downs for the colleges and courses, as it would make it quicker to complete and will also make the output cleaner.

All - In case it it not clear, the links to the interview entry form, and the output file i.e the spreadsheet, can be found in the first message of this thread.
Thank you - can you point me towards a list for colleges and courses? That will make things easier for me to add drop downs.

Maybe its just me but honestly I think its a bit confusing / misleading when people put in waiting for outcome, I wish people would wait to get interview invite or rejection before posting
Will alter this question, cheers

However, it also successfully manages to instil some doubt within me as to whether I will get an offer for subjects at universities where people have already got offers from. One of my friends has an offer for Durham CS but I'm still waiting on it and reassuring myself with the fact that Durham takes quite a long time to get back to people.
Pay no attention to Durham, their treatment of applicants has been consistently poor for years.
This might apply to some people but my friend has just received an interview from Imperial (he applied for JMC)

See attached report. Courses on page 4 and colleges on page 11. They are in a table so hopefully you can easily copy and paste. Thanks.

When applying for CS, many people make the most of it and apply for the Joint Course of Maths and CS so a lot of people will go for that. From what I hear, CS will come soon after but it takes longer to process as there is a higher number of applicants for the places available.
Thank you for this information and wish your friend Congratulations 🥂 🥳 🙌 🍾 🎉 🎊 👏 from me (though you don't know who I am). Also, there are several people on the Imperial forum (which is far shorter than this one) who have also received offers for JMC.


Chemical engineering is missing as no direct entry until 2023, and possibly some others? Design?
Could try this

For that one just select Engineering for the sake of ease.
I've added in Design now
Are we able to view the spreadsheet currently?

One of the sixth form subreddits, not sure which one as I have them all followed and I don't look too hard.

I see both sides of the argument but I find that it is often easier to work out when decisions start to be made when the progress with people's applications for particular subjects, or in this instance, particular colleges are well documented. However, it also successfully manages to instil some doubt within me as to whether I will get an offer for subjects at universities where people have already got offers from. One of my friends has an offer for Durham CS but I'm still waiting on it and reassuring myself with the fact that Durham takes quite a long time to get back to people.

i think they should post the link that just takes one to the spreadsheet directly, not to the form. just so that people can access the spreadsheet without putting "waiting for decision" etc

It's on Reddit 6th Form. The interview (virtual) and admission test invite for English is from Corpus Christi.

If she's not applied to Corpus then you can't read anything into it! Colleges process things at different speeds.

Sorry to be a pain but it looks like there are several colleges missing from the drop down list like, Sidney Sussex College, Trinity College, Trinity Hall. Not sure if there are others. You can find the full list here - https://map.cam.ac.uk/colleges. Can you please add them when you get a chance.

I was gonna apply there and the college was SO nice! But I felt that it would be quite popular and I don't think I'm good enough for it.
My friend has just received an offer for interview for Corpus Christi English Lit. I think they're pretty fast at getting interviews out
