There are threads for both unis, so I thought an English specific one would be good.

I'm actually Year 13, and would be reapplying. I applied to Brasenose, Oxford last year..but um, yeah. Wasn't successful :p
I'm thinking Hertford, maybe. But it could well change. And it also depends on my grades this year.
You can't really prepare for the ELAT; it's not something you can revise for...You just have to be excited for it, really.
Reapplying, eh?
Did you have an interview last year?

Indeed; not sure I'd have the guts to reapply if I hadn't :p

I talk to God but the sky is empty.
Oxford, Lincoln. Depending on results, obviously.

Why Lincoln, if you don't mind me asking?

Well, it's not for sure. I had no idea a few days ago, but my headteacher recommended it to me after a talk, so I thought I'd look into it.

Cambridge, Looking at Fitz or Sidney Sussex. They seemed quite nice about state schools.

Oxford- Wadham possibly, or St Johns- but their academic performance does scare me a little!

So, introduce yourselves. University, possible colleges etc
For me it will probably be Oxford, like the look of Oriel an Brasenose.
Anyone preparing for the ELAT?
I'll probably be reapplying too, grades permitting. I was rejected from Queens' Cambridge, but I fancy another crack at it x

Just out of interest how well read are you guys? By that I mean roughly how many books have you read that would be studied in an English class/lecture/tutorial? So obviously excluding Harry Potter-like material.

You don't need to be a well-read scholar at 17 - as long as you've got passion for the subject and have obviously read a wide and deep range of material, you will be fine.

I'm applying this year to Brasnose College, Oxford - this is permitting AS grades/predicteds since we don't cash in - so it's all about the predicted grades!
Agreed.
Because you don't cash in, does that place you at a
dis advantage?
