Dear Mr Washington,
Your request was received on 10 November 2008 and I am dealing with it under the terms of
the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).
You asked:
“This request is similar to that I previously made, which you labelled FOI-2008-92. I am
asking for the corresponding data for applications in other years.
‘I would like to know the figures for home applications and acceptances by type of UK
school/college and gender for the mathematics tripos 2007, broken down similarly to the
following document (which gives these figures across all subjects)
http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/reporter/2007... - Cambridge University Reporter 2007/08
No 14 table 1.2’
I am aware of the other data at the site http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/reporter/2007... ,
specifically tables 4.2 and 4.3. These break down applications and acceptances by subject
and school type OR subject and gender, they do not allow comparison between school
types and gender.
Please could you send the corresponding information in for admissions 2008, 2006 and
2005 and any earlier years available.”
Please find enclosed the information you requested.
Please also note:
1. As in table 1.2 of the Cambridge University Reporter 2007/8 No 14, the data is for
‘Home’ applications and acceptances. ‘Home’ is defined as applicants in the UCAS
residential categories A, B, C, D and G (that is all categories except O).
2. The category ‘Other’ schools includes applicants from schools/colleges of an unknown
school type and non-UK schools/colleges.

3. The data provided is non consistent with the data in tables 4.2 or 4.3 which is for all
applicants and therefore does not filter ‘Home’.
Please note that copyright in the enclosed documents is vested in the University of Cambridge
and the enclosed documents should not be copied, reproduced, published or used, except in
accordance with the law of copyright.
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to
make a complaint or request a review of this decision, you should write to the Administrative
Secretary, quoting the reference above, at the Secretariat, The Old Schools, Cambridge, CB2
1TN. If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint, you may apply directly to
the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the Information Commissioner
cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints procedure provided by the
University. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: The Information
Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.
Yours Sincerely,
