The Oxford 2012 Results Day Discussion Thread

Some people had further maths excluded from their offer, so yes.. That would be the same in your case, except it might not be further maths they have excluded (I don't know your 4th subject on A-level)

Two As have to be in German and Spanish, but that kind of goes without saying...

Hey!
I've got an offer for Law with French Law too. Mine is for St. Catz!

Well art is my fourth A-level, so I can in a way see why they'd value english lit more. I was a little dissapointed though as art was going to be my easiest A



It would be rather peculiar if they only specified an A in one language! Is your third subject specified, or are you taking 3 A levels?

Does anyone else have each subject specified in their offer? My offer is A*AA in bio, chem and english despite the fact that I take 4 subjects

I'm doing four, and the other one isn't specified, so yours is odd

I'm specified Latin and Greek, as you would expect with Classics. The third can be any out of maths, French or history

Gah, you're so lucky!! Perhaps it's because I have an open offer and some colleges will regard art as less repectable than others But then on the other hand, what's your fourth subject? Perhaps it makes sense to ask for all academic subjects if you're applying for an academic subject...

German, Spanish, Eng Lit, Eng Lang

That seems like a fair offer. Part of me wants to ring Oxford and inquire..the other part is screaming SHUDDUPYOUGOTANOFFERFROMOXFORD. I'm beggining to think it's to do with how academic a subject is, especially as I'm applying for a science course and art is a rather practical subject

My offer is AAA - one A must be in Chem, one A must be in Bio or Maths. And I do 5 subjects, albeit I'm pretty sure this is just the standard Medicine offer

My offer is A* in Bio or Chem, then two AAs from Bio/Chem + any other A level excluding general studies. I do English lit and German and they weren't mentioned at all.

Sounds alright- so your third A can be in anything?

Hi everyone, I have an offer from Wadham, and I've found 'Wadham College Reply Form' in the envelope. What am I supposed to do with it? There is only space to write name, adress, yeat of entry and tick accept/decline (I assume that the offer, but it doesnt say anything ) They do not say when should I send it back or can I do it via email? Does anyone from Wadham know?

Maybe I am too stupid to go to Oxford

In that case, I'd suggest dropping Art since it takes up a LOT of time to do and focus on your other subjects.

Yeah, I've contemplated doing such. My main problem is however that I got an A (close to 100%) last year and art is essentially my easy subject. Having such a subject means that if I for some reason underperform in English (I had pneumonia last year, so who knows what could crop up this year?!) then I at least have a third A to fall back on which will be useful for my other offers which don't specify between English and Art. Also, I do love art.... I'm so torn

Be aware, if you put Art on your UCAS form and decide to drop it, you must inform all your universities, and they will all be within their rights to change or withdraw your offers
