Near miss for cambridge maths

Hi,

Have got an email from the maths department saying DS will be considered as a near miss and his application is being reviewed.

He missed 1 in STEP 2 by 5 marks, has achieved 1 in STEP 3, and has 4 A*s.

Any one knows how all these works - do other colleges look at his application or is it just the college that he got offer from?

How likely is to get admission for maths from tye near miss category?

Thank you

Hi,

Sorry to hear this about your DS! Many applicants to Cambridge miss their offer in maths, so he's not alone in that position,

My understanding is that the Summer and August reconsideration pools are running together.
