What actually decides the offer

STEP grades are the binding constraint. About 48% of Cambridge Mathematics offer-holders convert to a place — the other half miss STEP 2 or STEP 3. TMUA / ESAT screen for the interview; the offer itself is conditional on STEP 1,1.

Common reasons applicants get rejected

  • Below A*A*A predicted (or Further Maths not taken where school offers it)
  • STEP papers not on the timetable — Cambridge will not waive
  • Personal statement vague rather than mathematical (no engagement with reading, problem-solving, olympiads)
  • Inability to reason through novel problems live in interview
