Is he still doing the countdown game :biggrin:



If you don't get an interview its a rejection........waiting list and offers are given after interviews.
Yes you can........couldn't say to be fair....I would also state physics is also quite popular.


Or you can sometimes get a direct offer... :P

First year extra curricular activity is compulsory...... anything ranging from sports, reading, investment, etc

No, only about 1-2 hours. You finish at lunch on wednesday.........which is very much the same at uni.
Hey I have applied to woodhouse and I would really like to get in. However I think my predicted grades are like Cs or not strong enough to get into an interview. I aim to get at least an A* and few As n Bs in my GCSEs So if I dont get an interview do I get put on a waiting list. Or if I re apply on results day what are my chances of getting in? Would it be first come first serve basis? I plan to take Chemisrty, Biology, Sociology and Pschologly. I know chemisrty is a popular subject so I would replace it with physics just to get into woodhouse.

I dont think you will get an interview or put on the waiting list with all C predictions. Both biology and chemistry are very over subscribed but you do have a chance if you have all A*/A etc to get in if you show em your results come results day.

Well Maths department is pretty much top notch, i must say that I had Miss. Finn in my first year (am i allowed to name people?) and I achieved C1 97% C2 95%. And other teachers in the department as still very good. There is also the "Maths homepage" for Woodhouse students (which is so good, that it now shows up on google and other colleges are using it).

Economics wise, in my AS year, I had a good teacher, he had his own way of teaching but I didnt mind, got 100% in EC2 and 89% on EC1, so that should tell you enough, although this year I have a teacher that is disliked by pretty much everyone, so in general both departments are good, but you get the odd person once in a while.


Thanks a lot for the info! :biggrin:
Has anyone been contacted yet for the 2nd/3rd interview dates? (march 4th/march 12th)
Woodhouse are really slow at getting back to applicants from experience but I can't blame them
with the number of people applying. :puppyeyes:
Woodhouse is a great college, there has been an increase in "Ghetto-ness" though, the social area that is normally a good place to relax with a few mates is far too often being flooded with something that I would never date to call music.

In all honesty I can't wait to go to uni!

No, just simultaneous equation and the likes....
Just dress a bit smart, show him that you can give back to the college.
