Thanks :smile:!! Sounds like a plan there! Well done
Offers from Exeter, Nottingham & Kings College London.
Rejection from Durham but was expecting that with Further Maths as my third A2 like they told me on the phone right back in Year 12.
Still waiting on St. Andrews, then the visiting and praying start... happy days :smile:

I just got an e-mail asking for my written work and saying that my application is under "active consideration" :s-smilie: .... but nothing other than that ...


Hi there,

I'm thinking of applying to study theology (2013 entry) at Oxford. I was just wondering about the written work, what's that all about? Thanks :smile:

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think they ask for one or two marked essays from A level to be submitted to them. Might vary between the colleges though.

They normally ask for two pieces of alevel work. I don't do religion so my collage accepted my English cw. They also said that that was a hue part of my offer so it's dead important

Thanks. If you don't mind me asking - where did you apply? And did you get any offers?

Edinburgh (insurance)
And Durham took to long so rejected them

I received an offer to study theology at exeter I think around october last year which was BBB :smile:
I was pretty amazed with this offer, and I've taken my theology already and got an A! :biggrin:
Did any other Cambridge people get sent a reading list recently? What topics are you thinking of doing?
