i would email them, but i know they will tell me that there are still considering applications.. they said "wait till the end of jan"

such a temptation though!

Has anyone got the nerve to email their college and ask them? They would probably tell you if you had been rejected. For me, it almost feels as though, the longer it goes on for from this stage forwards, the better my chance (which sadly is not the case). Anyone? I will if you will.

I've been trying to pluck up the nerve to call! I don't think they'll respond fast to emails. [Also someone on the decisions thread called up their college and got an offer on the phone!] Well, our inquiring isn't really going to affect our decisions are they, even if they haven't been concluded yet. We can't be rejected for being impatient :/ I just really want to know asap the waiting is killing me!

I don't mind if they tell me they're still considering my application [ok yes I mind but]...at least I don't have to think about how perhaps my college has already made a decision and I just have not be informed of it!
Still got no answer and can log in.

Crapppp.

What can we say...?

"Bloody hell am I in or not"

Lol. I don't know how to phrase it. I think since my college has been changed on the SAQ I can ask about what this actually means [that is offer or just still considering. Or rejection.]

Hmm, if they said hold on until the weekend, I guess we should've heard by now.

Some douche in my school has just been given an offer by Emma, today (for economics btw).

:smile:

Was this guy pooled then interviewed?

Omg, your college has changed? Then, you'll get an offer in all liklihood. My college has not. Let us match them in their generic phrasing my using the same template:

Dear *insert name*,

I was curious to know as to whether there has been any change to the status of my application, and whether *chosen college*, or any other colleges have shown an interest in my application for *insert subject*.

Thank you,

*name*

Keep it simple and short!

Yeah, this waiting is really jeopardizing my studying for the Jan exams!! Although I still can sleep at night because I can sleep through anything (even construction and apparently, once, a fire in the kitchen) Poor you :frown: Argh Cambridge can be so cruel

what do you reckon, how many of us are still waiting for decision? some 70% of those who were initially pooled and left a post in this thread?

I'm really not sure if I'll get an offer as they're making me wait so long =/ Many people with college changes have already gotten their offers. My college change has made me pretty optimistic, although I'm trying to suppress any hope, because I can still be facing a rejection for all I know!

Haha, the image of some abstract Cambridge personification getting loads of the exact same email from desperate applicants with the exact same phrasing is amusing!

Alright, I think I will either email or call today or tomorrow. It's pretty late now...would they still be working?

Yeh i think they still will be working now. A few people who got offers over the phone got them as late as 8.30pm!
I'd try calling if i were you, at least you get an answer straight away

They could be, the admissions staff were there at 6.30pm when I was having my interview. Just email them. That way you don't have to worry about getting hold of them!

I can still log onto the SAQ and have heard nothing. When will they send my rejection letter? :sigh:
