Dear E Pearson

Further to your request dated 26 March, 2019 under the Freedom of
Information Act, we are exercising a section 40(2) exemption and so
providing summary data.

Queens’ had 97 applicants for Maths this year, the vast majority of whom
were interviewed. We made 35 offers for either 2019 or 2020. We pooled 25
candidates, 10 of whom were subsequently offered places by other colleges.
For those candidates to whom we made offers, predictions were in the range
A*A*A to A*A*A*A*. The number of A* GCSEs was between 0 and 12 and Maths
UMS was between 90.3% and 100%. Interview scores were in the range 6.5-9.
For candidates to whom we did not make offers, predictions were in the
range A*AAB to A*A*A*A*. The number of A* GCSEs was between 2 and 12 and
Maths UMS was between 77& and 98%. Interview scores were in the range 4-8.
