Undergraduate Economics (L100) 2024 Entry - Applications / Offers / Rejections Statistics
Dear University of Cambridge,
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am writing to request detailed statistical information regarding applicants for the undergraduate Economics course (L100) for the 2024 entry at the University of Cambridge.
I understand the importance of protecting individual privacy and thus seek aggregated data that does not identify any applicant personally.
My request encompasses the following details:
1. The total number of applicants per college, broken down by:
• Domicile Indicator (Home or International)
• Type of School (Independent, Grammar, or State school)
2. Aggregated scores and outcomes for each applicant, including:
• TMUA scores
• Interview scores and dates/times
• A level & GCSE grades
• Any additional criteria impacting selection (e.g., weightage given to personal statements, points for extracurricular activities, etc.), if applicable
• Outcomes of applications (Offer or Rejection), with distinctions made between offers from the college of the applicant’s choice or any other college within the group which the applicant had not applied for
• In cases of rejection, reasons for rejection
3. Information on whether the interview format was consistent across all colleges or if there were variations.
4. The number of applicants per college who were referred to the summer pool.
Please provide the information in a digital format, ideally as an Excel spreadsheet, for ease of analysis.
Thank you very much for your assistance with this request. I look forward to your response at the earliest
Yours faithfully,
Sri Balasubramanian
