Admissions Policy
We are happy to talk with prospective candidates or their teachers, either informally, or formally when they are trying to decide whether to apply to Cambridge/what course to apply for/what college to apply to etc. Once an application has been received, we will send emails/letters concerning the formalities of interviews, other aspects of the admissions procedure and decisions on offers to the candidate. Discussion of any other matters about the application will only be with the school.
- The College will send subject specific feedback to schools for applicants who have been interviewed at the College, but have failed to secure an offer, either in the first instance from Emmanuel or subsequently from a pool College.
- The College strongly encourages schools to disclose the contents of these letters to candidates, but disclosure is at the schools’ discretion.
- The College is not under any obligation to send feedback, but recognises its value both to the candidate and to schools.
- We will not accept feedback requests from parents/guardians or education management companies.
- We are unable to engage in any discussion with candidates who have failed to receive an interview or an offer, or with their parents/guardians. Any such approach to the College will be directed to the candidate’s school.
- Additionally, we will not engage with the parents/guardians of offer holders, who fail to have their place confirmed following exam results.
