The "I've been pooled" thread

Haha, I'm 5th highest poster and have HALF the number of posts as you LH123, thats a bit worrying .

I can still be a barrister if I go to the other unis. I hope

Oh, I thought for a minute that everyone was commenting on how sad (pathetic sad not sorrowful sad) my life was. Should of known that this place hasn't got any judgemental people in it.

We could start up a "I was pooled for Cambridge and quite frankly feel violated by the entire process" thread and whine on forever about it. To hell with closure!

Shanny123456, what subject are you applying to do? I do get on with people of different subjects, of course, only Mathematical people tend to frighten me and invoke a sort of reverential awe in me towards them, as I am a simpleton when it comes to objective, logical thoughts....

If the file has been returned to your original college, can it still be taken out by another college if, for example, a candidate being re-interviewed for your subject does badly and gets rejected?

The pool info sheet gave these stats for last year:

548 pooled applicants were re-interviewed, and out of these 285 received offers.

That means that roughly only half of the people re-interviewed got an offer. The rest of the places had to be filled from the pool, and they'd have to get these people from those left pooled after the interviews were over.

I'm applying for Economics. It's kinda applied Maths, tbh pure Maths people scare me too (you've got a be a bit of a nutter/genious to do pure maths). Lol, I thought philosophy is very logical isn't it (or is it more abstract-logical?)

Ok so I've just been looking at the winter pool information sheet, and I studied the timetable a little harder. Correct me if I'm wrong but,

THIS COULD TAKE UNTIL THE 31ST !!!

Putting aside all the other implications for the pooled applicants (such as how much our chances decrease as the days, or rather seconds, go by), does that mean we're going to collectively commit a running commentry on this highly addictive thread until then?

WOW.

But, will those people include those who have their college on their SAQ still? Does it mean my file has been returned to Pembroke, or that it is still floating around somewhere?

bump

Perhaps, although you're making some assumptions. Lets say hypothetically there were only 285 places left at this stage?

Nobody knows for sure what the SAQ updates really mean. It doesn't look like there have been very many pool offers over the last couple of days (at least not posted on here), so it seems that it might all be on hold now until the interviews are done.

I expect that files go back to the college so the directors of study can see who's left in the pool, so they can fill up these last few places with the most suitable people.
