Dear Christie Huang,
Your request was received on 12 March 2019 and I am dealing with it under the terms of the Freedom
of Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’).
You asked:
I am writing to request the following information to be made available by you under the Freedom
of Information Act, regarding senior status applications to PBS:
1) Number of applications made, interviews offered, and places offered for all admission cycles
from 2012;
2) Predicted and achieved Bachelor's degree classification for students that were offered a
place to study PBS as an affiliated student;
3) Cambridge Admissions scores for applicants that were offered a place;
4) Past Thinking Skills (?) or related Cambridge admissions papers for PBS, for all cycles from
2012;
5) Any marking scheme that were used to grade interviewees, and/or guidance/advice for
interviewers
I resquest that, if possible, all information for 1-4 be listed chronologically, and if applicable,
separated into each college under each year.
The requested information, insofar as it is held, is attached. Information about interviews is not held; all
interview processes for entry to undergraduate degree courses at the University are set and managed
locally by each of the individual Colleges, each of which is a separate legal entity and public authority
under the Act.
Information to answer to question 4 is published at

within 40 working days of the date of this letter and reserves the right not to review a decision where
there has been undue delay in raising a complaint. If you are not content with the outcome of your
review, 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 may be contacted at: The
