This paper tests three hypotheses:
- If the UMS attainment of applicants made an offer of a place at Cambridge is significantly higher than those not made the offer of a place, and,
- Whether this relationship is consistent across all Tripos subjects for which students are admitted, and,
- How far differentiation in UMS attainment is consistent across the sector, inasmuch as whether Cambridge applicants with the highest attainment tend to attend the more selective universities
