If you are holding a conditional offer of a place at Cambridge, and have met or exceeded all the conditions in your offer, including the grades required, congratulations! You don't need to do anything. Your College will already have been told your A-level results, and your place is automatically confirmed. You will receive a letter from the College and from UCAS within a few days. Please do not phone the College at this busy time.

If you have not quite met the offer, please don't panic! Depending on the number of students who have met their offers, there may be a few places available at the College you applied to or another College. Please be patient for a little longer - your College will contact you as soon as possible.

If your grades are substantially lower than those required by your offer, hopefully you will have made the grades for your insurance offer. Unless there are special circumstances to consider, your application will have been unsuccessful. You will receive a letter from UCAS stating this so that you can take up your insurance place (if you meet the conditions for that place) or enter Clearing.

If you have not applied to Cambridge, please note that we do not consider any new applicants at this stage for either 2002 or 2003 through the Clearing process.

Applying for 2003:
The University of Cambridge welcomes post A-level applications. You may be trying to make the difficult decision as to whether to take a gap year and apply to Cambridge as a post A-level applicant for 2003. Talk to your school/college, Careers/Connexions office or the University or College admissions staff.

The Colleges hold a number of open days in September. For more information, look up

It may also be possible to have a tour of the University and Colleges on certain days in September. Please contact the Cambridge Admissions Office on undergrad-enquiries@cuao.cam.ac.uk for more details.
