Dear Joseph,

Thank you for your request. The College cannot respond comprehensively as it no longer retains data about unsuccessful applicants for the years before 2017.

For this year (2017) we received 4 applications from students offering the IB and the average predicted mark was 43 points.

The College has made 3 offers during the years that you specify. We are unable to identify in which years as this may lead to identification of the students concerned.

The average predicted score for those who received an offer and achieved the required marks was 44 points

None of the students for whom we hold data were post qualification applicants.

Further details about making a request to the College, including your rights if you are not satisfied with our response may be found at https://www.jesus.cam.ac.uk/college/abou...
