Yes. If they put you to pool after interview, that mean the college don't accept y ...
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.
