If you think you may wish to change Tripos,please indicate this on the form,as you might be invited for interviews with tutors from both subjects.This is particularly important if you are interested in a subject not offered as a first-year course.
Once you have completed your CAF you should either return it to your chosen College or to CAO if you are making an open application.Please remember that both the CAF and the UCAS application need to be submitted by 15 October 2006.
If you are applying for Medicine or Veterinary Medicine you must enter for the BMAT by 29 September 2006.If you are applying for Law,you must enter for the LNAT before submitting your CAF.In both cases you will be given a registration number that must be entered on your CAF and on your UCAS forms before you send them.(See admissions tests for details.)
