Hello
I'm new to this.
I got 6A* and 7A's at GCSE.
Am taking maths pol econ and psy at AS.
Applied for Econ&Pol
And have just got accepted!!!
I'm actually shocked and stunned i got in.
From an average secondary in an average town.
It feels weird.
I was wondering:
1/ Has anyone else got in in particular on E&P
2/ How many applied overall and how many get acepted
3/ Is it useful for PPEing prospects at Oxford

I can't quite get over it. Shock horror.


wooo i got in for economics and politics too! i wasn't expecting the letter to come so soon and wasn't expecting to get accepted either! so i know how you feel lol i'm kinda scared now

Hey
I've been accepted on the double maths course too. Very surprised about it!
I got 9A*s and 2As, so you neither have to have straight A*s or a higher than average number of GCSEs to get in.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to it, it should be great!
If anyone else is doing double maths, it would be cool if you could message me.

Hah and you were worried! Well done :biggrin: and everyone else too :biggrin:
I have not recieved a letter as yet :s-smilie:
I am not sure what to make of this? I have applied for english- no one appears to have a reply for that paticular course on here, so who knows!
Anyone know if they send a letter of rejection/acceptance to everyone?
well done to those above that are in anyway!!

Loads of people have said (a bit earlier) that you need straight A*s etc, it's really not true. I got accepted with 4A*s 5As at GCSE

Anyone else going for Classics? I'm doing Latin and Ancient History
I'm in For English!
Looking forward to it now- but scared :s-smilie:
Oh, I'm too late. Is this for people currently doing their AS levels?
Damn, that really is a missed opportunity if it is :frown:

Oh and well done to everybody who got in, I would've applied to English. Bugger, I'm so annoyed now.
What a bloody outrage.
Have fun.

Hah and you were worried! Well done :biggrin: and everyone else too :biggrin:

would've loved to have gone to do maths :frown:

Has everyone heard now? Rejections and acceptances?

*wonders what happened to school's late applications*

Well done to the people who got accepted by the way!

I also applied to a sutton trust summer school, they are really prestigious and run at st andrews, oxford, cambridge, bristol and nottingham. You might want to try them, maybe? I'm not sure when the deadline is though..
