What is SAQ?


Supplementary admissions questionnaire. You filled it out in October or whenever you sent your application off.

You guys have got me checking my SAQ, e-mail and this thread constantly now! I have exams you know.

Yeah I have found that now. Still says that my account is inactive or what have you... Is there any English applicant type people around here in the pool?
This whole pool process reminds me of this song - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=okq1qNERSIM
'All you need is magic potion' :yeah: I actually have this song on my Ipod, embarrassing.

Has anyone not been able to log in to their SAQ earlier when people were already getting new colleges on them, but can now log in and have a new college? Basically I'm wondering whether it all happened at once or if there's still hope for me.

Try and sign into your SAQ and tell us what it says please?

Yeah I saw your academic stuff in your profile, nice work :smile: I was too naive really to be bothered at GCSE, just wanted to go out with mates all the time etc. Although I take solace in the fact that I've gotten as far as I have with the attitude I used to have... if I were to work my arse off since the start of high school and then be rejected I'd be devastated.

Welcome to my world

More than 3 years of ambition and work crushed with an e-mail

Commiserations! were you rejected from the pool? Which college, and how come you were informed so early?
Sorry to crush anyone's hope

But i really do think that if your SAQ hasn't changed, and you havn't heard from anyone, its almost safe to assume no offer.
(this includes me aswell)

Mithra, who was that e-mail from? Peterhouse admissions?

So sorry to hear it :frown: After a lack of SAQ change for me I fully expect my fate to arrive soon enough, if I may ask, what did the email say?

It saaaaaid:

Dear Tom,



I’m very sorry but, although initially pooled (i.e. put into a group of applications to be further considered by other Colleges) , your file has been returned to us which means that your application has been unsuccessful.



I’m really sorry not to have better news for you.





Thanks for the commiserations guys :smile:. Hope its all good for you :p:. Tempted by a gap year at the moment but that would make me 20 by the time I get to uni so I'm thinking Imperial it is! :colone:.
