For example, the '2023 cycle' refers to applications made from September 2022 onwards, for courses starting in October 2023 or deferred entry in 2024. NB: 'Admissions cycle' refers to the UCAS cycle in which applications were considered.

The University and Colleges are committed to offering admission to students of the highest academic ability and potential, and would rather admit a strong applicant from the pool than a weaker applicant who applied directly to them (or who was allocated through the open application system). This means that success rates are very similar from College to College.

The pool results in many students (897 in the case of the 2023 cycle - nearly 20 per cent of all offers made) receiving an offer from a College other than the one they applied to. Then, the best applicants who could not be accepted by their original College can be made an offer by another College through the ‘winter pool’. On average across all subjects, we typically receive six applications per place, but naturally there is some variation between courses.Ĭollege choice or making an open application does not affect your chance of being made an offer because we compare all applicants for each subject before selection decisions are finalised.ĭirectors of Studies in each subject meet to discuss the overall standard of applications so they can see how their own College’s applicants compare. This is one of the most frequently asked questions about applying to Cambridge.
