Cambridge deadline
Hello, i am applying as a private candidate at cambridge however theres a delay in getting my predicted grades. Im a mature applicant and i heard that there is some time/leeway for mature applicants as its harder to procure predicted grades. Is this remotely factual? Is there any leniency? Mine was caused in part due to family illness.

This is correct with caveats.

You can only apply to Hughes Hall, St Edmond's and Wolfson college as a mature student by the January 14th UCAS deadline. But this doesn't apply if you're applying for medicine or veterinary.
