I'm new to the student room so I'm not entirely sure how it works, but it seems that if I have a query I can post it here...
My situation is that I was rejected from Oxford to study History and Politics after getting an absolutely appalling interview at Balliol. I have since received an offer for a Combined Honours in Arts at Durham which I am pleased with, although I'm not over the moon about the college I've been allocated. However, my interests have taken more to history recently and since I was always set on applying to Cambridge for History before I made a quick decision last year to apply for History and Politics which is only offered at Oxford, I am now wandering whether to reapply to Cambridge for History. It is likely to be possible for me to change to straight History at Durham, if not straight away then after my first year, but the real reasons for reapply are mainly because I know I didn't perform anywhere near my best at interview, probably my worst, and I am open to the idea of a gap year, I have many possibilities for what I could do. Nevertheless, I am worried about losing my place at Durham. I am predicted 3A*s so I would probably only reapply if I achieved these. Any advice? I really don't know what to do :s
