Cambridge Foundation Year 2026 applicant thread

Hi everyone!!
I just submitted my application for the foundation year at Gonville and Cauis and have looked on apps like reddit but haven't seen anything from this year's applicants. As the UCAS deadline is coming I thought that it would be useful to make a thread to discuss interviews, assessments, offers etc. What college did everyone apply to and what subjects do you plan on progressing onto??

I'm also applying soon (Downing College), and I'm hoping to progress onto either Land Econ or HSPS 😊

I’ve also applied for the foundation year! Did you get a confirmation email when you sent off the questionnaire?

Hezy, I am re-applying to Murray Edwards this year! I was part of last year's application cycle and I think it is great that there is another student room to share this stressful time with others experiencing the same thing.

Sorry for the late reply work has been killing me 😭. So last year I got an offer from Murray Edwards the only reason I didn't go was because I got really ill and wasn't able to sit my A-level exams in the end as well as my sister being diagnosed with an aggressive type of cancer. I am now doing an access course to HE in Social Science and work full-time.
