Any thoughts about which college to apply to? Are there any guides to applying for the various colleges and what factors to consider?

6 6 3A is good for Interview. Maybe a little bit less as your other stats are very good. Average offer holder for 2023 entry had 6.38 6.25 3.36

plus i reckon i will do better on m section 2 so does Cambridge look more at section 2 or do they average the two scores or do they weigh section 1 more heavily.
and does anyone know how they judge contexual data as i live in a POLAR 1 area and in receipt of free school meals

Did anyone else receive a rejection already? I received mine yesterday, although I don't think universities have received bmat results yet.. I have international-equivalent qualifications so I contacted St Edmund's College beforehand and they said that with the qualifications I hold, I would make a competitive application although my bmat would need to be very good.. really confused and annoyed to be honest..

the fact they said you had a competitive application means your grades where quite good. do you mind sharing your gcse grades and alevel predicted and if you class as a contextual applicant

I am an affiliated applicant and completed my secondary school qualifications in Germany so my grades are slightly different but considered equivalent. I also got a first in my undergrad and a distinction in my master's from Cam, and been working at Cam uni in research for the past year and a half. Non-contextual also
