Senior Tutor’s Report With the disappointments of the last couple of years it is pleasing to see a return to our rightful position somewhere within the top ten of the Baxter tables. The bad news first: relative to the rest of the University our finalists again proved to be a great statistical disappointment, having sunk in the rankings year on year and with the Scientists in particular ending their career at the bottom of the pile. However with data covering all years the picture is far rosier: the percentage of Firsts increasing to an historic high, at just under 25%, some good individual subject performances and both the first and second years finishing with Tripos results above the University average.
