We are starting to prepare for our Offerholders' Open events on
Saturday 27 February (arts subjects in the morning, sciences in the
afternoon) and we are really looking forward to meeting you all in a
more relaxed setting than the interviews! Please reply by Friday 12 February
if you plan to attend. If you aren't able to make it, due to distance,
previous commitments or any other reason, and you would still like to
come and see the College, please contact the Admissions Office with a
couple of dates that would suit you.
The Facebook page set up by the JCR
Freshers' Committee now has over 100 members (including lots of current
undergrads) - it's at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1659064517680739/?fref=ts or you can search for 'Newnham College Cambridge Offer Holders 2016'.
Next dates for your diaries:
Saturday 13 February - deadline for applications to Cambridge Trusts for financial assistance (overseas applicants)
Monday 15 February - deadline for Choral Award applications to reach the College
Tuesday 1 March - deadline for Choral Award references to reach the College
I will be sending out an information pack to you all around the end of March/beginning of April.
Now
is a good time to get used to highlighting these and similar dates in
your diary - Cambridge undergraduates have to keep to many different
deadlines throughout their student life!
This is a blog which we will be using to pass on information to Newnham applicants at different stages of the application/admissions process. We will try to answer the most frequent questions for that point in the year via blog posts or comments. It is only relevant for current applicants to Newnham. Other colleges may have slight differences in their admissions procedures and timetable. All comments will be moderated and comments from applicants to other colleges will not normally be posted.

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!
- If you live outside the EU and have asked to be interviewed by the overseas interviewing team, you will hear from them when the interviews have been scheduled. In the meantime, you can find information at: http://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/international-students/overseas-interviews
- If you would be able to come to Cambridge, information about the
format of interviews and about any written work required for your
subject can be found here:
http://www.newn.cam.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/how-to-apply/content/interview-subject-information
- The next deadline (for returning the data protection consent form and written work - if it is needed for your subject) is 15 November.

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!
