Welcome to the Peterhouse Admissions Blog! Most likely if you are
reading this blog then you have applied to Peterhouse or been allocated
to us through the open application
scheme for 2013/2014 entry. This blog exists in an effort to help answer
your
questions and keep you updated with what's going on throughout the
admissions cycle. As such you might like to either bookmark it or
subscribe to its updates.
We know it's pretty stressful applying
to University (we were in your shoes just a few years ago!) so
please use this blog as a way to put your mind at ease. We want this
process to be as transparent as possible. Comments won't automatically
appear, mostly because we want to avoid people who are applying to other
Colleges posting (we all have slightly different systems so this
wouldn't be productive) but we'll take note of every comment and try to
make sure posts reflect what people are asking.
To the
introductions! Formerly an English student at Homerton College, Kathy
Purdy is now the Admissions Coordinator at Peterhouse so knows what it's
like to be on both sides of the Cambridge application process. You'll
also hear from Carrie Boyce who works as the Admissions Assistant and
was a student at Corpus Christi College studying Biological Natural
Sciences. Please do not hesitate to contact either of us on
admissions@pet.cam.ac.uk if you have any problems or queries.
By
the time you read this you should have received a letter telling you
what to do next. Included in the pack should be a letter, a data protection form, a fee status form and for some of you a subject slip and
essay cover sheet. Please make sure you know what you have to do and
when you have to do it by. Here's a summary:
Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic (ASNC) - 2 school essays
Architecture - a written project (to be announced)
Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (AMES) - 2 school essays
Classics - 2 school essays
Economics - a set essay (to be announced)
English - 2 school essays
History - 2 school essays
History of Art - 2 school essays
Law - 2 school essays
Linguistics - 2 school essays
Medicine - BMAT
Modern and Medieval Languages (MML) - 4 school essays
Music - 1 school essays and 1 musical exercise/piece
Natural Sciences (Biological) - 2 school essays
Philosophy - 2 school essays
Theology - 2 school essays
If
your subject is not in the list then you are not expected to submit any
work before interview. Also, if it is not clear which Natural Sciences
course you are applying for from your A Level choices then you may
receive a subject slip for the Biological stream; please ignore
this if it is not relevant to you. Please remember that every
applicant needs to complete the SAQ by 22nd October, that the deadline for all forms is 5th Novermber and the deadline for essays is 15th November. All documents should be sent to:
The Admissions Office
Peterhouse
Cambridge
CB2 1RD
That's
it for now. While you guys get all your documentation/essays together
we'll be sending out initial response letters as soon as we receive
applications up to the 15th October application deadline as well as trying to plan
the interview schedule.
Good luck to you all!
Kathy and Carrie

Are the dates for Medicine interviews already known? Also, are the candidates shortlisted for interviews after BMAT results are published? I'm worried about plane ticket... Last year I wanted to attend Medlink conference in December, started looking for flights from Poland at the end of November and didn't find any...
Your query is quite specific so please email the admissions office directly so we can discuss it further.
