A-Level Results

What to do when you get your exam results.

Students holding conditional offers for 2024

If you meet or exceed all the conditions of your offer

In most cases, you won’t need to take any further action.

Magdalene will be informed of your A-Level (or equivalent) results directly via UCAS, and your place will be confirmed. Your status will update on your UCAS Hub, and you will receive an email with additional details.

If your results are not received directly via UCAS, we will inform you where to send your results once they are available.

Please refrain from calling us for updates on your application.

If you don’t quite meet the offer

In these cases, we will need to know how close you were to meeting your offer.

If results are received directly via UCAS, we will only have your examination grades. Please send Magdalene details of your performance as soon as possible, preferably as a scanned copy of your statement of results for each examination.

There may be limited spaces available at Magdalene or potentially another College, depending on the number of students who have met their offers.

Please be patient. We will contact you as soon as possible, and you can check your application status on your UCAS Hub.

Do not call the College or University for updates on your application. The Hub will be updated as soon as a final decision is made.

If your grades are substantially lower than those required by your offer

Unless there are special circumstances to consider, your application to Cambridge will have been unsuccessful. We hope you have met the grades for your insurance offer.

Your status will be updated on your UCAS Hub so that you can take up your insurance place or enter Clearing.

We understand that sometimes there are processing issues, and we may already be aware if you’re missing a particular result.

Please contact Magdalene as soon as you receive your missing results.

What to do if we have invited you to apply for reconsideration

You might be eligible for reconsideration if we have notified you about our August Reconsideration Pool in your decision letter or email sent in January. Some places will be available for selected students on courses with space for October 2024.

For more information, please see August Reconsideration Pool.

No Clearing vacancies

The University of Cambridge does not participate in Clearing. There will be no course vacancies available through Clearing.

Further information about Clearing is available on the UCAS website.
