Offers and take up of undergraduate places - Cambridge University

The request was successful.

Dear University of Cambridge,

Could you please let me have the following data for the entry cohort in 2016 and 2015, each year separately, in excel?

By course (perhaps each row in the spread sheet being a course):
- the number of unconditional offers made for entry
- the number of conditional offers made
- of the conditional offers made, the number where the grades/conditions were not met and the candidate was rejected
- of the conditional offers made, the number where the grades were not met and the candidate was still offered a place
- of the offers made, the number where the place was not taken up for other reasons
- the eventual number of students starting the course in that year
- the "target" number of places on the course
- the number of people starting the course in the previous academic year

Yours faithfully,

Simon Briscoe

Dear FOI,

Many thanks for the thorough response.

Dear FOI,

I understand why you were unable to supply the number of candidates that did not meet the offer but were offered a place. That's fine. You also did not supply (and did not mention in your letter) the number of students starting the course in that cycle. Can you please add that column to the tables you sent as I can use the difference as a proxy for the number offered a place having not meet the offer.

Many thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Briscoe,

Apologies if our tables were not labelled and annotated clearly - the final table, entitled "Headcount" (and reproduced in Excel in the file FOI-2017-330 (Briscoe) entrants data.xlsx, represents "the number of students starting the course in that cycle".
