Dear Athene

Thank you for your request. It is difficult to answer because of the small numbers involved and the risk that someone could be inadvertently identified by making the information public.

On average there are 4 or 5 applicants offering Abitur for the whole admissions round, the usual predicted grade is 1.0

The University of Cambridge publishes statistics for the whole University (including the College and I note that for 2018, there were 251 applications from Germany (so presumably offering Abitur in most cases) . Of these 46 were offered places and 35 were actually admitted, making a success rate of 13.9 overall. These figures are on page 8 of this document:

Statistics for previous years are available on this web page. https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.u...

I am sorry not to return a more precise reply, but I hope that the above will act as a guide.
