Dear Eve Semat,

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request.

Yours sincerely,

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 Bursar, Murray Edwards College, Huntingdon Road,
Cambridge, CB3 0DF 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. 

We are unable to provide the information requested as it deals with the
current admissions cycle. It is therefore exempt under section 36(2)(c) of
the Act because its disclosure would be likely to prejudice the effective
conduct of public affairs, in this case the integrity of the College's
current applications and admissions round. 

The College has considered whether the public interest in releasing this
information outweighs the benefits of maintaining its privacy. Its
decision is that its usefulness to a small number of individuals is
outweighed by the importance of maintaining the integrity of the
admissions process. 

In general, application and admissions statistics are made publicly
available by the University here:
