Cambridge interview rejection

Really sorry to hear that. You have amazing stats so could it be the results of the nsaa? How do you think that went? Which college were you applying for? I know it’s disappointing but you will have a great time at another university and they will be lucky to have you. Have you heard from your other choices yet?

got an email from cambridge today saying i didnt get an interview for natsci

i have only 8s and 9s at gcse
predicted 3A*s and an A at a level
came runner up in an essay competition
did 2 summer schools ( one at cambridge)
highest biology score in the year at mocks (mentioned in teacher reference)
mentioned 2 books and 2 online courses and a work experience and a crest award project in my personal statement.

i kinda just dont understand what else i could have done to atleast get an interview since i heard that most ppl who apply get interviewed.

out of curiosity do you go to a private or state school? and your general background?

Sorry to hear that. Can I ask what alevels you did?

Except the unknown nsaa, can not think out of any reason you can not get an interview.

Yea, Had 3 A* predicted and had a good personal statement (already offered places for my 3 of my 4 unis, with one being Warwick) so I know I didn't write absolute garbage and had lots of supercurriculars. I did the ENGAA and though I did decent, could of done better but definitely feel I did around average at that and rejected pre-interview however I did apply to Trinity so I guess didn't help. My GCSEs aren't great but it has to be due to my AA, can't see what else. Must of done worse on it than I thought.

wow, sorry to hear that. May I ask when did you receive the notification?? I also applied to engineering at trinity and they haven't even send me anything yet...

20th November 11:47, seems like lots of people got theirs today and Trinity seems to be super competitive this year so good luck of your application!

Thanks for your kind wish! Hope your application for other universities go well!
That’s so strange because I haven’t received anything yet… btw when did you put in your application? Was it very early compared to the October deadline? Do you know anybody who haven’t received anything yet?

Someone else got an invite for Engineering at Trinity this morning according to the offer spreadsheet on the other thread. They look genuine. I think you will get a decision today if you have not already. Best of luck.

Lol I just received an invite this morning too, luckily 🫡
