The Official Cambridge Applicants for 2024 Entry Thread

Scroll to see replies

Wait can somebody tell me if this is a bad sign.

I have heard of NatSci rejections from Corpus from 7 different sources/people now. I got an interview invite last week but I am sure that is only because I have achieved grades. I messed up the NSAA.

Does somebody know whether this could mean that there was a spike in corpus natsci applications?

I applied Pembroke last year and got rejected. Pembroke had unusually many applicants last year as well. Would be funny if I manage to follow the spike both times. (;

Congrats. Did you apply to Homerton?

Any interviews for economics at St John's ? Around when will the possibility for interviews offers end.
congrats to everyone with interviews.

Not heard of John Econs decisions yet. I suspect it will be some time this week. Invites and rejections are sent at the same time (or at least on the same day), so not hearing anything just means that decisions have not been issued yet.

I got a law interview!

Congratulations! Anyone heard from Caius yet?

Hello - yes, unfortunately it is that case that if you do not get an interview then the process is over for you. In order to be pooled you must have been interviewed.

Is it worth contacting individual colleges if not heard anything yet? Applying for law
has that did the LNAT/NSAA/ENGAA received an interview from Newnham?

Hi, I have applied to CS at Caius. Is there anyone who has heard back?
Just come across this site! My son is waiting to hear from Jesus for NatSci. He has got 3A* and took a year out to work. I don’t know if that will go against him. I know they don’t like people taking maths to have a gap year.

yep, it's on the 7th so as a Scottish student I'm driving down the day before (6ish hour drive 😭) and I do know the interviewers names, though I can't remember off the top of my head haha. When's yours?

yeah mines also on the 7th, but mines online. i would much rather it be in person tbh but it’s fine. i have two, they’re an hour and a half apart. does it say you have two as well?

No. Please don't do that. Many, many people haven't heard anything yet - nor would we expect them to have done.

It'll just slow down the admissions teams if they have to constantly reply to e-mails or phone calls saying, "Please be patient."
Anyone heard about johns land economy?
Has anyone heard from Downing yet?
Anyone heard anything from Sidney Sussex re. Law?
Has anyone heard from St John’s with History? I am stressing because the HAA is on Thursday

No, just one! I was a bit confused about that... I thought there were supposed to be two. I have "interview prep" at 9am, then the actual interview at 9:15am.

The number of interviews will vary by College. Don't worry if someone for the same subject as you at a different College has a different number of interviews - this is normal and will be due to a wide variety of reasons!

Will not be a problem for Nat Sci.There is also the Cambridge Parents Association thread if you need any advice or want to vent to other parents who have gone through process.

Hey I'm in a similar position. Your son should have received an email yesterday from St Johns stating that they would send interview invites "early this week" which I'm going to assume is either later tonight or tomorrow, given that the HAA is on Thursday.

To be honest I've just been prepping as much as i can right now in regards to the admission test as the only thing I can really do is assume I've got an interview at this point.

Good luck to your son!
