Resit candidates

The request was partially successful.

Dear University of Cambridge,

I am looking for data relating to the success rates of applications for classics and anglo saxon, norse and celtic (ASNC) undergraduate degrees from 2014-2019 by resit candidates. For clarity’s sake, I am defining resit candidates as those who applied with grades below the standard offer, and were resitting their A levels which do not meet the university’s requirements.

Please could you provide statistics on:
1) the total number of resit applicants for classics and ASNC,
2) the number interviewed (if any),
3) the number given places (if any),
4) the breakdown of these numbers by college (the number of resit candidates who applied, were interviewed and accepted by each college).
In addition, if there were any successful applications by resit candidates, please could you indicate if there were extenuating circumstances (no need for details).

Thank you,

Alfie Watkins
