First-class undergraduate degree and proof of ability to pay for tuition and other expenses. English is not my first language, but apparently I don't need to provide any language test results - quite happy about that!

Thanks,

I wonder, how they expect people to prove their ability to pay?

You just sign a financial undertaking form and upload it online. Did you get accepted?

Not yet. Still waiting, hope if I do I can still stand a chance at college membership with one of my selected colleges. I don't want to be in a graduate only college, although I suppose it would be quite good either way.

What are your choices?

There is probably little or no chance of getting into a Category A college now. Most if not all of us on the Cam. thread got rejected from our 1st choice colleges. I was extremely lucky to get Selwyn which was my 2nd choice. I got rejected from my 1st choice which was Trinity.

Yeah I know. I opted for Queens, and Darwin (it was my favourite of the Cat C colleges). Selwyn is lovely, I spent some time there a couple of years ago.

Most, if not all people have been rejected by Queen's. However there's probably a good chance of getting into Darwin.

At the end of the day college allocation is just a formality, seen as a lot of grads don't even end up getting college accommodation and most of the time is spent in department.

The hard part is getting the grades :tongue: Which is driving me looney at the moment.

Is anyone here planning to live off campus for the year? I don't really know how likely it is to be allocated on-campus accommodation, and to be honest I've had my fair share of university housing over the past three years. In the end I'd probably decide based on the relative cost - if the only way to go off campus is a 12-month rental that would probably be rather expensive.

Good point. I'm not sure I would get accommodation in college anyway because I won't have my final transcript until July. Which leaves me in a bit of a tough spot in some ways.
Rejected from Pembroke.
Offer confirmed.

I'm not seeing anything about a deposit, so I assume we don't need to pay one.

Hii,

Accepted! waiting to receive my final transcript to confirm my spot. I am hoping to get a housing on campus, but i guess that's not very realistic is it?

I like Darwin too! How do we tell which category does a college belong to?

Thanks Hansen, I regret that didn't see this earlier...I thought most of the colleges don't take graduate students...

Anyway, I am happy to be with Darwin too.
Hi! I received my formal offer last week, haven't been accepted into a college, but I am thinking of living off campus so I'm not too worried.

Anyone know if there's a Facebook group for offer holders?

I was wondering that too, should we form some sort of informal, "get to know each other" group?
