    Offers from Exeter, Nottingham & Kings College London.
    Rejection from Durham but was expecting that with Further Maths as my third A2 like they told me on the phone right back in Year 12.
    Still waiting on St. Andrews, then the visiting and praying start... happy days

    I just got an e-mail asking for my written work and saying that my application is under "active consideration" .... but nothing other than that ...
    Hi there,

    I'm thinking of applying to study theology (2013 entry) at Oxford. I was just wondering about the written work, what's that all about? Thanks

    I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think they ask for one or two marked essays from A level to be submitted to them. Might vary between the colleges though.

    They normally ask for two pieces of alevel work. I don't do religion so my collage accepted my English cw. They also said that that was a hue part of my offer so it's dead important
