    Subject: Chemical Engineering via Natural Sciences
    College: Lucy Cavendish College
    Outcome: Unconditional (deferred: 2013)
    Conditions: NA
    How did you hear? (eg letter/phone/owl): Junk mail. I swear. :teehee:

    My offer letter came before my pooled letter. When the pooled letter came, it looked as if it was fished (drenched). I love the irony.

    Subject: Computer Science with Mathematics
    College: Churchill
    Outcome: conditional
    Conditions:
    • 90% overall in Polish Matura (95% in Maths, Advanced Maths and Computer Science) - I'm waiting for the results to be released next Friday
    • 7.5 overall in IELTS (no less than 7 in Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking) - already achieved
    • 1/2 among STEP II/III


    How did you hear? (eg letter/phone/owl): Letter
    How did you feel? Shocked. I read my letter and left the house without telling my parents what's the letter about (they don't speak English). And I was a bit scared. Now I'm convinced that it is possible to meet the conditions
    And now I know - waiting for the exam results is the worst part, really…
