Dear Ms Tan,

I answer your questions with the narrative between asterisks.

As explanation of 2a and b, some students have taken STEP before application. We do not hold or retain information on whether STEP was therefore a condition of the offer.

If you want to know more about the admissions policies and practices in relation to this course, or any others, our admissions tutor and his team are always happy to discuss the position with potential applicants, teachers, or other relevant enquirers. I encourage you to call them. Contact details are available from the college website.

If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of this decision, you should write to the Senior Bursar, Gonville & Caius College, Trinity Street, Cambridge, CB2 1TA who will then assign an appropriate person to conduct the internal review. If subsequently you are not content with the outcome of your complaint, 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 College. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: The Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

Yours sincerely,

Robert Gardiner

RG Gardiner MA FCA
