I'm still waiting and hoping for vet med!!! The longer it goes on the less hope there is. What college were you pooled from?

Downing

In my case: I think its a bit early to firm the offer, especially given the turn of events the pool brings. I do not feel comfortable attending an all girls college, but it is what it is. Ehhh. We'll see.

I am also a north american bound applicant so rejections are far from over!

No idea on the autopool criteria, but the detailed PDF in the beginning is really helpful for some supplemental info to feed us fish :smile:

Im in the IB, by the way

Again, hang in there everyone!

Your post states you are from switzerland -

Rejections from US colleges - is that what you imply?

Goodluck with your US offers. I understand RD US offers come by around March end.

i did hear from some other girls that the girls college are quit outgoing and that they're quit a few guys close to them so it probably be okay

same here..

Well done on your Girton offer. (is it an offer or a reinterview)? Do you have traditional A level scores or AP/IB scores?

is it that the longer you wait the smaller the chance of being fished is? so if you were pooled with tags/strings, youre likely to have been fished already. x

They do.

I really hate to sound ungrateful- an offer at any college would be great, but I have a very strong preference between the two, what would you recommend i do? should i mention it at the interview or something?

Any more East Asian or AIMES studies people out there? Even at interview (the first time -_-) I didn't meet anyone else from my subject.

I also applied for Japanese (Trinity), congrats on getting another interview let's hope for the best for both of us!

Lol yes I meant for myself, I didn't know whether you'd been pooled or not. And I applied for History at Trinity Hall. Pretty sure I was either autopooled or pooled because one interview was a lot worse than the other, though, so I think if anyone was interested they would want to reinterview me, so I probably would have heard by now. But whatever, I'll get over being rejected, it's just the not knowing and waiting that sucks.
