Most of our applicants are predicted to achieve top grades, and words and phrases such as 'outstanding' and 'one of the best.' appear in many references. Teacher comments can also provide important perspectives on the applicant. This means they are deeply interested in their chosen subject, have a high level of academic potential for it, are a very strong performer in their school or college cohort and highly motivated for academic study.Ĭomments from subject specialists that evidence an applicant’s intellectual flexibility and curiosity, analytic ability, logical reasoning, capacity for hard work and the ability to learn quickly are extremely useful. Admissions Tutors look for indications that a student is well suited to study at Cambridge. The school/college reference provides us with vital information about an applicant's abilities and potential.
