    How do you feel? Ecstatic! I wasn't expecting to hear until Sunday night because I'm away in Italy, but my dad emailed the admissions office without telling me and it popped up in my inbox. I was terrified to open the attachment, finally did, threw the laptop at the bed and ran around the hotel trying to find my family to let them know

    Outcome: Conditional offer
    Conditions: A*A*AB
    How did you hear? (eg letter/phone/owl): I told my mum to open my letter and then she texted me
    How do you feel? When I opened the text from my mum I was so happy and I just let out this really strange noise, and this was in the middle of my chemistry lesson and everyone was like...whaaat? and I was like AOISDHOSIHDFOIH I GOT IN. But then it dawned on me that I have to get another A* (already got one from maths last year) and the excitement was a little ruined... but I'm still delighted! And I cant stop talking...

    Subject: Politics, Psychology and Sociology (PPS)
    College: Magdalene
    Outcome: Conditional offer!
    Conditions: A*AA
    How did you hear? (eg letter/phone/owl): Letter. The letter reached the school before it reached me, so my referee took me out of my spanish lesson and told me - I thought it was some sort of cruel joke or something (since my interview didn't go very well)!
    How do you feel? Numb, ELATED, exhausted. Still in disbelief to be honest. Was telling myself it was a rejection so it would be less painful.
