The "I've been pooled" thread

Scroll to see replies

Lol, the College on my SAQ has changed to Fitzwilliam. So if your SAQ has changed to Magdalene you've probably been pooled into Magdalene :eek:

Turns out our little hypothesis was right after all. :p:

That 70% boys thing was Churchill.

oh congrats!! what other college wanted to interview you? and what happens now, you just tell the other college your not coming? lol


no i dont think he was pooled to another college. he was just pooled, and then fished out by his preference college

I came into school today and my teacher came up to me and said "blah blah well done for at least being pooled blah blah fingers crossed" and also "You did well in your interview".
Now I'm wondering if this was just an assumption, or Cambridge somehow communicated a reason for pooling to him?



I heard that your school can get feedback about your initial interview....

I told my maths teacher that I got pooled from Trinity....she replied that Trinity is nearly always oversubscribed for maths and that she is "sure I'll get an offer".... seriously, its hard enough without her being overly confident in me. :frown:
By the way, I might be naive and this has probably been answered somewhere in these 1199 posts but how does pooling work?

Do they?
1. Have a set number of places for each course, and go round finding applicants to fill those places?
2. Have a set number of places for any course, and just find the best candidates irrelevant of the course?

Thanks :smile:

It is by no means too late. It would most likely be too late after the 10th January, though.
