Yes, perhaps my wording was a bit sloppy here, but as I was referring to both undergraduates and graduates (and do remember that this blog is chiefly for students who would be applying as affiliated students, i.e. 2nd undergrad.) the onus is majorly on the former. It's completely true what you said though - graduates are guaranteed a college place once they've been accepted, but the graduate applications procedure is (in any case) completely different to that of an undergraduate/affiliate!<BR/><BR/>2. Again, wording. As you can see in my last bullet point list, I do say they only admit for graduate qualifications, but as the people applying for these would be 21+ anyway, I loosely group them under 'mature' for the same reasoning.Cambridge Affiliatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698507486751763451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171940857067924912.post-50914570517902835862008-08-12T15:29:00.000+01:002008-08-12T15:29:00.000+01:00Your post contains (at least) two errors.1.

For graduate students, being "pooled" does not mean there is only a "chance" of being admitted by a College - College membership is guaranteed even if an admitted graduate student is unsuccessful in their first or second choices.<BR/><BR/>2. Clare Hall and Darwin are not "mature colleges". They are graduate colleges. St Eds, Wolfson, Hughes Hall, and Lucy Cavendish are the mature colleges - even the pdf you linked says that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
