Woohoo :biggrin:

I'm so relieved, the tension of not knowing was horrible :smile:

I'm weirdly excited, I'm sure I won't feel the same waiting to go in for the interview though!

How you found out: I actually found out on Tuesday afternoon because I was desperate to know so emailed admissions, but I didn't want to post here until I received my letter in case it turned out to be a mistake :rolleyes:

[Insert gushy, smiley-riddled response here]: Still in shock tbh!

How you found out: I'd told my Mum to open any letters from Oxford and text me if it was good news ... I got a text during maths and sneakily opened it :rolleyes:

[Insert gushy, smiley-riddled response here]: Hallelujah! :woo:

Email - I wasn't that shocked, 95.5% or something get interviewed, so I'm sure most that don't don't have the entry requiremtns and I checked I did...

How you found out: E-mail alarm on my phone woke me up. Oh s***... Open the Balliol admissions email, downloading the pdf felt dreadfully slow. REFERRED TO ST. HUGH'S? Here we go again. And then I was wide awake.
By the way I'm an international, do many internationals fly over, or do most of them prefer telephone/Skype? PM me since I don't intend on hijacking the thread.

Found out: Email on Saturday afternoon, after coming back from a friends' severely hungover... hahaha.
Reaction: pretty calm actually. heart skipped a beat, stomach in my mouth, but i just sat and breathed slowly and read through several times. Then I realised I should probably have told my parents.

Reaction: But the MAT was an actual fail... o.O Wait, what? An interview? I thought I was getting a rejection D: *freaks out*
Friends were more excited and happy for me than I am. Family quite neutral but positive. Me rather indifferent o.O
I don't know if Oxford is for me. SCARY >.<
