The "I've been pooled" thread

No, I even checked earlier on today and I couldn't until about an hour ago...

Thanks Don't worry, I haven't actually heard anything from them yet! And until it changed I'd pretty much taken it as a rejection, now I feel there may still be a glimmer of hope (?)

What languages did you apply for?

anyone doing MML pooled from sidney sussex heard anything? Or any MML students?

Good luck everyone!!

I have an interview at Murray Edwards on Thursday, but despite being told about it last night I still can't access my SAQ. Does anyone know what this could mean? Is there a possibility that other colleges are considering my application?

I'm going for French and Spanish ab initio, good thing you didn't go for Spanish too or we would have been competing directly against each other!

is there anyway of finding out the number of people pooled for a specific subject?

No, there isn't. The stats on the Cambridge website - links distributed liberally throughout this thread - only show how many offers were made via the pool, not how many were pooled in the first place.

What time is your interview? I might see you there!

I think it's around two thirty... How about yours?

Did you get the timetable? Some English people have interviews at Downing!

I know, it's not fair , I'm still not sure about Murray Edwards, but feeling a bit more positive. Mine are in the morning, at about 10 I think, because I'm staying overnight.

Come on Pembroke: adopt that practice!

Oh hooow I would love that

The wording of my letter didn't give much hope for that though

I'm feeling the same way... Are you E P?

It looks like we have about a fifty percent chance or higher of getting in though. Last year they took seven from the pool, and they're only interviewing twelve of us! Where are you coming from?

i hope this isn't it

French and Russian ab initio, you? Russian may have been a mistake, I should have gone for Spanish perhaps.

That glimmer of hope is so tiny, and yet there are countless numbers of us trying to hold on to it. Dam that's poetic.



Some MML people have I think, earlier in the thread. 2 or 3 perhaps.

Which languages are you applying for?

Hello all, looks like I've been added to the winter pool as well. I am out of the country at the moment and wasn't able to actually read my letter, but it seems international applicants won't be interviewed again. Is this true? Should I ring the college I applied to and ask about if there's anything I need to do? How do I go about finding out which college I've been pooled to? :/

Cheers and good luck everyone .
