    It's true actually... most people using this forum are Cambridge loyalists... We shouldn't care though, cuz we know we're the ones that made the right choice !!

    im going to ox to do history (if i get the grades, obviously...) um, i'm a little jealous you got a place at Hertford, that was where Charles Ryder went from Briders (yes, i am vaguely aware he is a fictional character, but the awareness is slowly going... by the time i get to oxford i will believe him to be real)... i do feel Charles and i are kindred spirits...both artists, doing history... ah...

    also think nero's going to st peters (PPE?)

    so i guess there are quite a few of us - just have better things to talk about than how much better our uni is than others... like the cam lot...!

    haha, im just joking! have actually found them to be properly nice (well, most anyway.........!)

    I love it how we all try to be so modest "im going to oxf next year... IF i get the grades..."!

    Truth is, oxford just dont want us to start chilling out just cos we got places, so want us to push ourselves. The only problem is that i never did any work for anything except for admissions essays and interviews so after having pi*sed about for the past 7 years of senior school, i doubt very much i can make my offer...


    bugger.


    maybe the modesty's a good idea, in my case at least..!

    I hope to head there if I get AAA. If I don't make PPE I might just travel instead.

    Jesus? Cool me too - AAA offer for Economics and Management - ahhh maths - the subject i'm most worried about!

    Hey emzie - did you meet a girl called Claire at your interview - I know it's not very specific (she usually has quite big funky earings on!)- but she got an offer from Jesus for Geog too, wondering if you met her?
