Current applicants

Thurs 11 Dec
We still have lots of interviews to go this week! Good luck to everyone with an interview or interviews today! Those of you who done your interviews, please keep reading your emails and don't forget to complete an interview issues form if you had any kind of problem - we want to know about everything, please. 

Feeling nervous? We know. Nerves are completely normal and all interviewers take nerves into account. A good thing to do whilst waiting to be let into your interview: take some really big, long deep breaths - in 2,3,4 and out 2,3,4. You've got this. 

Contacting Christ's: We need your help to work efficiently! We request that you start all emails to Christ's Admissions Team with:
> Your name (exactly as you wrote it on your UCAS form)
> The course you've applied for (including 'Biological or Physical' if Natural Sciences),
> Your UCAS number (10 digits, please write it as one number without dashes)
> The country you are applying from (e.g. France)

The application process is set out on the how to apply page. Here is a reminder of the initial deadlines as your UCAS application isn't the only thing to do by 15 October:
 

When possible / Consider booking Applicant Webinar Series sessions.

Sept deadlines / Applicants for the following subjects should already be registered for the relevant admissions test, and in some cases you may even have already taken it: Chemical Engineering; Computer Science; Economics; Engineering; Law; Medicine, Natural Sciences. See table of info. 

15 Oct at 18:00 UK time / UCAS application (including reference & predicted grades for any exams not yet sat). See the UCAS information. Please ensure that your referee is ready, and aware of the deadline too - it is a very strict deadline. If you or your referee misses it by even a minute we can't consider your application.

15 Oct / Take steps to avoid email issues - Read and act on receiving email.

Our advice: don't leave meeting deadlines to the last minute. If something unexpected happens (life has really bad timing sometimes) or if something goes wrong, it will be too late to fix it. Unfortunately we cannot consider late applications so we encourage you to do everything safely ahead of deadlines (and with that in mind, once everything above is sorted, feel free to move onto the next section before 15 Oct if you like).

In Stage 2, everyone had 22 Oct deadlines. It is now too late to submit late documents for the 22 October deadlines, however the following page is still available if you need to submit exam results or if we have asked you for a document post-interview: 

Additional documents 

In Stage 3 we asked everyone to read and keep an eye on the Subject information (info specific to your course), and there were a number of 5 November deadlines. It is now too late to submit documents for these deadlines, though the Additional documents upload is available for anything we ask you to submit post interview. 

We now have full information from you, are reading applications, and will begin inviting applicants to attend online interviews as soon as possible in the second half of November. We will keep you updated in the yellow box at the end of this section. Invitations are sent by email. For students who we decide not to interview, we aim to communicate our decision by the end of November at the latest.

Interviews at Christ's College will be take place online on various dates from 1-17 December 2025. Please see the subject information, where more precise interview dates will be posted as soon as they are known for individual subjects. 

If you said on My CApp that you will be unable for interview on a particular date, we will do our best to arrange your interviews avoiding that date. However this cannot be guaranteed due to the difficulty of arranging interviews for all candidates on the small number of dates that may be available for an individual subject.

Please do not ring the Admissions Office to check on the progress of your application. If you have an important and genuine enquiry, please email us and we will do our best to help. Remember though: once we get past the application forms stage, fewer queries = faster invitations to interview.

Please also see our Stage 4 advice. 

Any students receiving exam results in December/January will need to upload these (please upload them the same day that you receive them - if you don't yet have an official document, send a screenshot). Please see this page for further information. 

On Wednesday 28 January 2026, applicants who were selected for interview will receive both an email from Cambridge and an update via the UCAS website with the outcome of their application. We'll put some more information here about receiving your decision in the week before.
