Hello again, I can't believe it's Friday already! We've had loads of emails and mail this week so we've been a bit busy getting your files up to date with all the paperwork.
Some of you have had some queries about the Fee Status Questionnaire; if you are a British Citizen all you have to fill in on Section B is UK for the country of residence, your birthdate for the date your residence began and the reason for residence is living with your family.
For Section C you should put Student Finance if you will be applying for a loan from the UK government.
Section D will not apply to most of you, only for the very few applicants who are applying as Affiliated students and who already hold an undergraduate degree.
Regarding your written work; it's absolutely fine to send in work which was produced during year 12 - most people will be doing that. As far as we are concerned, Year 12 is "recent". Please do send work which has been marked by your teacher, it can be scanned and sent as an email attachement (along with the cover sheet) or posted via the Royal Mail.
I hope these comments are helpful and I look forward to receiving your documents and work (where applicable) as soon as possible.
The sun is shining here in Cambridge and the College looks beautiful. Have a look at the picture on our front page http://www.christs.cam.ac.uk/

Interview dates
Thank you for getting your SAQs done in time! We've now started receiving written work - that's excellent thank you. Please keep those essays coming.
We're still finalising the precise dates for most of the large subjects and I'll post information on the applicants' website as soon as they are fixed. In the meantime please try to keep the interview period clear of other commitments; some of the "medium-sized" subjects are only running interviews on a very few dates. We'll do our very best to accommodate you but if you are not available, for example, for the whole of the first week of December, it might not be possible to offer you a date outside that time if that's when the interviews for your subject are taking place.
We have usually managed to get everyone in to interviews one way or another!

Have a good weekend!
Thank you to those who have already submitted their fee status assessment questionnaire.
Don't forget, if you need to send us written work, it should have been marked by your teacher and prepared during the normal course of your studies (except in special circumstances with prior agreement). You can send a photocopy by mail to the Admissions Office, Christ's College, St Andrew's Street, Cambridge CB2 3BU or it's fine to send a scanned attachment by email to admissions@christs.cam.ac.uk
Your teacher should complete a cover sheet for your essay(s) - please send everything all together if you can. The deadline is 15th November but it really helps us if you can get your work to us as soon as possible. Thank you!

SAQ Deadline
Please remember that the final deadline for submitting your Supplimentary Application Questionnaire is the 22nd October. You must submit a SAQ to make a valid application and we cannot accept those submitted after the deadline so it's very important you complete it in time.

Open Days and 2012 Admissions
Hello!
We're all ready here in the Christ's Admissions Office for the coming admissions round and it's time to start updating our blog again.
Please take note of the important dates in the bar to the right, particularly the deadlines for application.
If you are applying for a subject that asks for you to send in some written work, we will send you more details after we have recieved your full application, including the SAQ.
We've had a busy few months since January, with Open Days and schools visits seeing many hundreds of potential future applicants from Years 10 to 13 visiting the College for a look around and advice about applying.
Our last Open Day of the year was on Tuesday 27th January and was a great success. Attendees had the chance to talk to admissions staff, current students and Directors of Study about applying to and studying at Christ's. It was a lovely and sunny day, meaning we were able to enjoy lunch in the garden and that our Undergraduate helpers stood out in their new yellow t-shirts! We hope everyone had a good and informative time and that we'll be seeing some applications from those who attended soon.
Throughout the admissions round we will be using this blog to keep you updated, so please check here regularly. If you have any specific questions, please get in touch via email or leave a comment on a post here.
