Admission Data Undergraduate Degrees

Adam Smith made this Freedom of Information request to University of Cambridge Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.

The request was partially successful.

Dear University of Cambridge,

I previously submitted a request and did not receive data I wanted or the format I requested; therefore I am submitting another request reducing the number of variables and with more clarity in terms of the format I want. Please advise if you have any questions.

For each BA Economics applicant applying to start in 2023/24, who was resident in the UK, and who was studying A-Level qualifications at the time of their application, please can you tell me:

- Parental Education
- GCSE grades
- Predicted A-Level subjects and corresponding grades
- Independent school (Yes or No)
- TMUA score
- If interviewed, the average score of the interviews
- If an offer was made, the conditional A-Level offer
- If an offer was made, whether it was contextual (Yes or No)

I want this data as a single table ONLY, where each row represents a different applicant for the course, and each column represents the corresponding values/answers to each of the questions I have asked for. Below is a sample row for a candidate.
ID1 --- Degree level --- 11[9s] --- Maths Econ French A* A* A* --- Yes --- 68.4 --- 54 --- A*A*A* --- No

I want the document to editable (Excel OR CSV) and NOT as a PDF, image file, etc.

Yours faithfully,
Adam Smith
