Open Day- 28th September 2010


The last Open Day of the year is over! The day went really well, with the rain just about holding off. A little over 100 Year 12 and 13 students had the opportunity to visit the College and listen to talks from the Director of Admissions, experience an undergraduate led tour of the college, talk to the Directors of Study and have any other questions answered by the Schools Liaison Officer.

This is only the second year in which we have run an Open day in September and we hope that it will have given Year 12s an early idea of what they’re going to have to do over the next year or so to make a strong application. For Year 13s, the day aimed to give a more in-depth look at the admissions process and, hopefully, a final few reasons to apply to Christ’s!

Our Undergraduate helpers were fantastic as usual, with volunteers from almost all subjects. I think they even left a few of the brownies at lunch for our visitors!

We’ve already received the first few applications for 2011 entry, and we hope there will soon be a few familiar faces appearing on CamSIS.

Welcome!


Hello! Welcome to the new Admissions blog for Christ’s College, Cambridge. We’ll be keeping you updated on how the admissions round is going, as well as posting about the College’s access and outreach activities.

If you look to the right, there’s a list of some important upcoming dates that you should take note of, especially the 15th October, which is the final deadline for applying.

If you have a question that you’d like to ask about applying to Christ’s or about the College in general, post in the comments section or send an e-mail to access[AT]christs.cam.ac.uk or admissions[AT]christs.cam.ac.uk.

We have our last Open Day of the year tomorrow and look forward to welcoming some potential applicants. Hopefully the weather will be better than today!
