Well I've been pooled for Engineering by Jesus and they said "we cannot make you an offer at this college but believe you are a realistic applicant for Cambridge so have placed you in the pool"

That doesn't sound too good really, because I won't be fished out by them and it looks like ive only be pooled because I have to be.

by the way, one of my friends who was pooled by st. johns for nat sci got a call about an hour ago with an offer from Homerton so it looks as though Homerton and fitzwilliam have made their offers. I can cross those off the list of possible colleges that may take me.

I don't think there's any difference between that and

"Unfortunately, we have not been able to make you an offer at the College at this stage ... However, e have sufficient confidence in your abilities and potential to recommend you to the Inter-Collegiate Winter Pool"

So, we're on the same boat as far as Cambridge is concerned...

I just feel like chucking all this uncertainty out of the window and just taking that LSE offer!
this thread is more interesting with respect to the pyscology of your average oxbridge applicant than anything else. :smile:

very little useful, non-conjectural info, ALOT of guessing, theorising, fretting, etc...

hehe
Don't worry about the phrasing of letters. I really doubt they personalized each one for categories A/B/S/P etc.
Oh my God... i had given up all hope too, yet just now i was called too by homerton and given an offer! It still hasnt sunk in yet... :O:O

Congratulations to all who have been lucky so far, good luck and keep on treading to those who are still in the pool... as they say, its not over yet

So if mine said something along the lines of "you have been placed in the inter-college pool, and we will wait until the outcome of that before making our final decision" means I might, unlikely as it is, still be fished out by my original college choice?

Ostensibly, you must remember not every pooled applicant is on TSR.

There's a world outside TSR? Do I take the red pill or the blue pill?
