Re: "I got an offer from Oxford for 2012 and now I want to chat!!!!" threadI know, right?! I'm trying to force myself to enjoy it and am now revising chemistry hardcore as...well, I'd rather not completely fail and get a U (as I did in my mock a couple of weeks ago(Original post by Beccy21)

Re: "I got an offer from Oxford for 2012 and now I want to chat!!!!" thread(Original post by Niki_girl)
I take A-level English lit., History and Theology & Ethics (otherwise known as RE, basically
, although it is slightly different because it's about evaluating ethical theories and analysing meanings behind certain ideas in the Bible, rather than "RE" as in learning about the practices of different religions, which is what GCSE RE is like).
Last year I did AS Biology and Extended Project too, in addition to English lit. & History, and about a year ago I changed from AS Chemistry to AS Theology & Ethics and haven't looked back since!
My offer is from Worcester
- what about you?
Aaah, awesome (I've actually come to love English lit so much over my AS year!) Theology and Ethics sounds rather interesting (though I don't think I'd be able to solely analyse religious beliefs etc... and so I think philosophy is more for me).
I was loking into doing the EPG, but my school doesn't offer it. Looking back however, that may have been a blessing in disguise!
LOADS of people seem to have offers from Wocester! I originally applied to Keble but I have an open offer, so I could end up at any college which offers biology, really (though ironicaly, I'm statistcally most likely to end up at Keble
)

Re: "I got an offer from Oxford for 2012 and now I want to chat!!!!" threadClassics & English so not a Biologist by a long shot, but LMH!(Original post by SquirrelNutter412)

So it turns out that I applied to the least known Oxford college ever. The ONLY two Trinity alumni I have ever even heard of are William Pitt the Elder, who didn't even finish his degree, and Jay Gatsby, who's fictional...

Re: "I got an offer from Oxford for 2012 and now I want to chat!!!!" threadI'm applying for PPE - which makes it extra difficult to motivate myself to learn about electrophilic addition as it's completely irrelevant, but I've got to the point no where I've completely given up trying to understand any of it and am literally just memorizing my CPG guide!

Re: "I got an offer from Oxford for 2012 and now I want to chat!!!!" threadWhat?! You mean you've put yourself through such a hellhole of a subject without even needing it(Original post by Beccy21)

(PPE sounds awesome though). I consider chemistry a necessary evil on the enlightened path to studying biological sciences
Thankfully my offer has actually given me the motivation to revise chemistry (bit late, but hey!) I have a chem and bio exam this January and am freaking out a little bit with all the need to get A*A and all that malarchy. CGP guides are lifesavers for chemistry! How many subjects are you taking?
