Starting up a new thread for anyone whose YP might be applying this autumn for entry next year!

Anyone else hoping for an interview at Pembroke Cambridge? That’s where my DD has applied to (for History). We’re in Cumbria so if she’s invited for interview I hope she gets to stay over the night before!

Im worried Pembroke will be uber popular - my DH said at the open day most of the colleges looked a bit scruffy with parched grass but Pembroke looked verdant because it has its own borehole for watering! I’m now convinced every YP in the world has applied there on account of its lush presentation 🤣

It would have been our choice if DC hadn't plumped for Oxford in the end. It was lovely! Good luck :)))

Anyone waiting for ESAT to come out? Assume it will be 16th November

DS also applying for Jesus, History…

It’s a popular college!

The interviews for Jesus are online I think?

Depends on the subject @namechanged221 - music is in person.

Second offer in here - unconditional for Edinburgh. He’s absolutely delighted - this is his second choice behind Oxford so to have an unconditional is fantastic.

What an exciting time this is for all of our young people!!

@AyeFairEnough that’s amazing to get an unconditional offer!!! Well done your your DS 👏

Great news on the unconditional offer, that’s a lot of pressure off!

DS has now had three offers through which he’s very pleased with.

@Eccle80 Did your son get his Southampton offer today? My daughter got hers and is over the moon!!!!!

Eccle80 · 22/10/2026 15:47

@RatherBeOnVacation yes he did! They obviously worked through a batch! He’s really happy too, and great news for her as well.

Son has had one offer too :) :) Wasn't expecting to get any back before TMUA results were out so that was a nice boost
