How did you hear? (eg letter/phone/owl): Letter arrived on Friday and my dad telephoned the school as my phone was off.
How do you feel? Shocked and surprised, I was sure I would be pooled at best and rejected at worst as one of my interviews went badly.

How did you hear? Phoned the admissions (my 3rd time in 5 days of waiting!!she eventually told me:smile: )
How did you feel? After 5 days of waiting..."eventually!!!". I mean i really have worried so much. but in the end of the day, the interviewer actually said to me before i leave the interview room : " you will know your result in January...Which will be the success of your application!" So i guess I am not very surprised at my offer :smile: my 2- year's work eventually meant something (gap yeared).

Outcome: Pooled, Conditional Offer by Girton
Conditions: A*AA
How did you hear? (eg letter/phone/owl): Phone-call
How do you feel? Such a relief. At first I thought that I would be absolutely gutted about not getting into Emmanuel, because I've adored the college since last year when I made the decision to apply to Cambridge after a HE conference, but I'm not. I'm just thankful to be studying my dream subject at Cambridge. CAMBRIDGE! :woo: I still can't believe I'm able to write that.

College: Selwyn
Outcome: Pooled --> Rejected
Conditions: N/A
How did you hear: email
How do you feel? Very, very well. Didn't feel bad at all. I was NOT going to attend either way because the 3 days I spent in Cambridge made me realize that UK is NOT my place and that I will be definitely heading to either the Middle East or the USA for college. And I am not saying this just because of the rejection - you can check some of my posts before I got the decision to verify. Honestly, I am not some trophy hunter or name picker - if I don't belong or like a place, I am not going to go regardless of the name, be it Oxford, Cambridge or the University of Madagascar. Congratulations to all who got in, though, and especially the ones for whom Cambridge truly is a top choice! :wink: Good luck with exams and well done!
