How do you find out? I thought university choice was confidential. So that information shouldn't be available. What do you ask the other one

Well how are you supposed to know how many other students are appling to Cambridge in your class? I thought it was all supposed to be confidential. Do you go around asking everyone their uni choices? What if they don't want to say which unis they've applied to.

It's how many people in your class, not how many are applying to Cambridge.

Yes, I am. In my opinion, candidates should be admitted solely on academic potential and nothing else.

But why is this incommensurable with what Cambridge are doing? Surely this information will help them gain the most accurate picture possible of their applicants' academic potential?

The selection procedure is all about picking the students who the college feels will succeed in their chosen subject. Surely academic potential is more important for a university than previous academic performance?

Oxford doesn't ask for this info.
In my four A2 subjects the class sizes are 3, 4, 9, and 12, so I'd say the orginal poster's ones are pretty big.

mine were small (all less than 10) but that's more reflective of the amount of people at school who did a levels, rather than an effort by the school to keep to small classes!
so guessing from the bryanston thing and your a levels, I guess you're applying for classics, Alexander? are you applying to oxford? what college?

In my original post, for 'academic potential' read 'academic performace'.

Are you saying that this is wrong of them? Because it is a fact that someone being taught in say a class of 6 will have more help than someone in a class of 25 and will therefore have an unfair advantage..
(I think the previous person who posted just had a arse for a teacher)

Likewise, the size of a class prior to 6th form is best set at about 25 for the same reason.

My A Level classes..
Economics 9 (Which means we have 5 lessons not 6, because there is less than 10 in the group which I think is a bit unfair!!)
Politics 14
Geography 16
