Fee status questionnaire - don't forget the evidence!

A number of applicants have sent in the fee status questionnaire without also enclosing the required evidence of nationality. We need a photocopy of the personal details page of your passport or, if you do not have a passport, a copy of your birth certificate. This proof of nationality can be sent as a scanned document via email, if that is easier.

Have you got my forms? What next?

Now that your application has been submitted, we will process it as quickly as we can. Please understand that we are very busy at the moment, so it is not always possible to acknowledge every single piece of paper we receive!

When sending us written work, data protection forms or copies of exam certificates, please note that it is not necessary to put them in plastic folders - an ordinary envelope is fine! However, if the envelope is any larger than A5, remember that in the UK this counts as a large letter, and you will need extra postage.

Welcome to the Newnham Admissions blog (2016-17 entry)!

So, you're applying to Newnham - hurray!

Posts on this blog will (we hope) help you through the application process, so do keep an eye on it during the coming weeks and months. You can also ask questions (via the comments) which may be relevant to other applicants.

We will check all comments before they appear - mostly to avoid people posting who are applying to other colleges. As we all have slightly different systems, this could cause confusion. We will take note of every comment however, and we will also put posts up if we find that the same questions are coming up in lots of your emails.

So, welcome to the blog and let us know how useful you find it!

Here's the first tip:
Once you have submitted your application, do keep looking out for emails from the Admissions Office. If you have a spam filter, it's a good idea to make sure that it will let in any emails from adm@newn.cam.ac.uk, slo@newn.cam.ac.uk or admissions@cam.ac.uk - and do check your spam or junk mailbox from time to time, in case any emails from us have got stuck in there!
