Hi all,
Although I expected it to be very fair, I have recently been a little dissapointed by my rejection from Cambridge. I applied for History and Politics to Emmanuel College and found out on Thursday that I was put into the Winter Pool but that spaces were low and competititon high and so no other college wished to take me in.
I thought I was eligible for the Summer Reconsideration Pool but, as it appears, I no longer think I am. This has left me a little lost on what to do.
I'm still waiting on a response from LSE, and have already recieved offers from York (ABB), Exeter (BBB) and Birmingham (AAB).
While I was waiting for my results from Cambridge, I felt that I wouldn't mind the other Universities so much and would be happy wherever I went. Since I have been officially told, now, that Cambridge is not an option for this year, I've come to think that I will only really be happy going to Cambridge and I worry that, if I don't end up going there, it will always be a regret of mine and a chip on my shoulder.
I want to go into law, so another option is transfering courses at York, Exeter or Birmingham and then trying to go to Cambridge for postgraduate law- or even to reapply to Cambridge for law.
In all, my options are
1) Stick it out
2) Transfer to law and do postgrad at Cambridge
3) Wait out a year and reapply to Cambridge for HisPol
4) Wait out a year and reapply to Cambridge for Law
I really appreciate any help.
