Is your son/daughter applying Oxbridge? Pooled means your original college does not accept your child but he/she is good enough for them to refer to other college consideration. So they put him/her into the winter pool for other colleges consideration. He/she should have update in a few days whether it is successful or rejected finally.
Which university, college and subject is he/she applying for? Good luck.

Yes. If they put you to pool after interview, that mean the college don't accept you. I don't understand why other college will still consider you if you didn't apply them.

Oxbridge pooling system is designed to ensure all the best candidates will be accepted irregardless of the college he/she applies.  At Oxford candidates may be “pooled” during the interview visit and meet tutors from various colleges, whereas Cambridge will only enter candidates into the pool after the initial interviews.


Here is the explanation from Cambridge official website:

http://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/applying/decisions


The ‘winter pool’ is designed to ensure that the best applicants who have been squeezed out by the competition at their original College are offered places – Colleges would rather admit a strong applicant from the pool than a weaker applicant who applied directly/was allocated to them.


Although impressed by your application, your College may not have a place for you so may pool your application for other Colleges to consider.


Some pooled applicants may be asked to attend another interview in early January. When all pooled applications have been reviewed, you may be offered a place by a different College. If no College can offer you a place, your original College will advise you of this decision by the end of January.


Around one in five applicants is pooled and, of these, around one in four is made an offer of a place by a different College from the one they applied/were allocated to (897 for 2015 entry). For more information read our Undergraduate Guide to the Winter Pool.


In a few cases, offer holders who haven’t quite met the conditions of their original offer may still be offered a place following a small ‘summer pool’ that takes place once examination results are released.

講分數EPQ作用不大,不過我囝囝都有做,因為:

1. EPQ讓學生對自己有興趣嘅課題進行研究,掌握做研究的基本功,對學習有幫助,亦會提升學習興趣。我個人覺得呢點最重要。


2. EPQ的研究發現及心得可以作為Personal Statement的一部份,在面試時亦可提及,有助增加話題和印象分。


3. 有做EPQ大學會睇,做得好對入學會有D幫助。

Thanks HHHR!

Totally agree!我也問阿仔做EP 的目的是為UCAS application 加印象分分?還是真對所選topic 有興趣?
他說兩者皆是。他之前有曾興緻勃勃告訴我關於那個topic, 所以我覺得就算沒有為UCAS 「加分」,純為興趣也是值得的。
不過我剛看了他學校website 上寫不會submit for EPQ, 只會當internal extended project 做。

請教大家,亞囡早兩天收到一間學問她攞predicted grades, 之前她巳叫老師入comments and predicted grades, ucas 的account 巳是completed 狀態。會唔會老師沒有幫她入predicted grades,而ucas又不會check?

要睇報甚麼大學甚麼學科。一線大學熱門學科唔易攞,因為俾咗conditional offer當meet到requirements一定有位。
