Received an offer, but what if no college accepts me?
I just received my offer for an MPhil in Biological Sciences (Zoology), and I'm delighted.
My college choices were Peterhouse and Corpus Christie, and I'm worried that I won't be accepted.
If no one wants me, is that just tough luck, try again next year? It seems a tad unfair if so...

Hey I got the offer for the MPhil in Biological Science on 5th June, and was rejected by Corpus, they repsonded it pretty quick tho. But I think they'll sign a college for you anyways so don't worry

You will always get a College if you have an academic offer. Eventually there are 4 'take all' Colleges that will always take applications. You just have to wait for the system to filter you through.
