congratulations! That is such a great story to tell, in a way it must feel even better getting chosen by a college than applying directly to them!

[@ellemogridge]

your right! it does feel cool that they chose me, didn’t think of it like that!

[@joshcash1248]

Congratulations Elle!! And everyone should always remember that Cambridge receives more applications from very qualified people than they can accept....they just don't have room for everyone who makes the grades.

[@GamerGirll36]

Omggg i never even knew that was a thing!! That is honestly so cool and I’m supperrrr proud and excited for you that you’re going to CAMBRIDGE!! You deserve it so much, you got through all those rejections and it paid off. Congratulations! 💓🎊

[@ellemogridge]

thank you so much! neither did i to be honest until the email :)

[@citywise8773]

Well done. You’ll love it there. Not my college when I was at Cambridge, but I have very recently spent some time at Churchill and stayed there and I was struck by its amazing setting in something like 45 acres of grounds. Architecturally it probably divides the room, although I thought some of the public spaces were wonderful and the room I stayed in was very comfortable. Very science-dominated student body too, so as a NatSci student you’ll have a really big cohort of fellow NatSci students. So glad the mysterious August pool worked so well for you!!

[@sababatamanna9226]

Congratulations Elle! So happy for you. All the best for your future endeavors ❤

[@MariaA-jl7ju]

[@ellemogridge]

[@a.tapper9906]

Congratulations so much on your place!!! It sounds most definitely hard earned and hard won! I was also put in the summer pool this year and will be your fellow first year at Churchill! I’m Amy, studying English - I hope I’ll get to make your acquaintance someday soon! All the best!

The best UNO reverse that you could wish for! I'd love to apply to Cambridge and now I know that even if I am rejected first time, maybe just maybe, I could be reconsidered. Well done Elle and you CAN and WILL do this!
