Pembroke Cambridge 2026 Applicants 🌺🌸

Hi guys! Oddly enough I haven't seen a lot of Pembroke applicants online this year, despite it being a fairly popular college. Let's get to know each other and keep each other updated!

1. What course did you apply for?
2. Did you get an interview yet?
3. Why did you choose Pembroke?

I'll go first: med, not yet, and because it's central and pretty.

I'm applying for HSPS and I haven't heard back yet; I visited the campus and really liked it, it's close to the HSPS department and from what I've heard quite a few HSPS students go there :smile:

That's good to hear, someone else in my year applied to Pembroke too (for a different subject) and has already gotten an offer, so this is really reassuring that the subject department is just slow 😅Out of interest, what A levels are you doing? There isn't really anyone else in my year taking HSPS, so I'm just curious

I've applied for HSPS!

Haven't heard anything yet...

I visited the open day and loved the atmosphere at Pembroke, the students seemed to bond well with each other and the campus had lots of beautiful green space. Also helps that it is close to the HSPS department and so I'd be able to maximise my sleeping in 😅

At least we know we’ll be notified of interviews by 27 Nov but the wait is killing me!

Thank you, you too! I've got one at 9:30 and one at 2pm, and as they offer accommodation to anyone over 2hrs away should be staying there overnight on the 9th which is funnn :smile:
How about you?

Mines at 10:30. I was going to stay overnight at the college too but I won’t get there until late so we’ve booked a hotel nearby instead. Good luck!! 🙂

That’s so funny, I’ve got an interview for English at Pembroke, also on the 10th, at exactly the same times! I’m also staying over the night before so I might see you around!
