Congrats to all those who have offers! Is there a table to update for Durham? (Like for Oxford/Cambridge?)

I'm an American Applicant, and I got a conditional for history.
I applied to St John's and the waiting is going to kill me.

I'm absolutely thrilled as this was my favorite uni by far. I can't wait to visit in February.

I'm dying to know where I'll be, I was wanting the Castle, but its seriously popular. Its a beautiful uni, and the people are really friendly.

I have been rejected. :/ I suspect that GCSEs play a larger role than the university claims - or maybe it was this idea that Durham are actually quite keen on 'EC's. Oh well - I guess this will just make my Cambridge offer taste that much sweeter >.>

EDIT: I think the >.> makes it pretty clear I'm joking.

Thanks! I sent it off around Oct 10. I'm international, from Hong Kong.
You? Did you also apply for Law? :smile:

Yes, I applied the following day, but am a home student (and also technically mature, in that it'll be my second degree). I wonder if my application will be looked at soon, or if it'll be different as you're overseas, or different again as I'm mature.

So annoying waiting! Could do with at least one offer before Christmas :frown:
