Applications to Cambridge these days come with a certain amount of contextual information. This lets admissions tutors know, for example, if applicants come from a school with particularly low GCSE grades or from which very few students have applied to Oxford or Cambridge before.
This info is used to generate what are called "flags" on applications, to highlight students for whom this contextual information should be taken into account:
undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/applying/conte…
undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/applying/conte…
Now here's the thing: I know it may be practially impossible to #HonourTheOffer for every Cambridge applicant who has missed their grades in the #AlevelShambles. However, I believe Cambridge can and should offer places to students whose applications included contextual flags.
