The Oxford 2013 Results Day Discussion Thread

oh wow... how come? Can you have whatever numbers of "dad" you want?

Does that make you jeolous hahah?

Looks like they do italian:

I took the tests this month, in the past fortnight or so. There's something like 4 different periods during the year you can sit them. I did Chinese for GCSE, and decided to keep studying it in my own time. Turns out I'm not that good at being dedicated to doing self-study, so I didn't get very far. :P

I just got rejected by Durham and LSE after almost 7 months! (not right this minute obvs) Beginning to wonder if some universities just pick up a pile of applications and bin them.

Now I'm staring at the 'Reply to offers' screen, paranoid about accidentally misclicking something...

The number of times I've been back to the options page on UCAS to check that I didn't accidentally put Oxford as an insurance or reject it or something...

I only firmed Oxford 2 hours ago, but have already gone back to check about 5 times already.

I have been calculating the exact UMS I need in the summer now... I'll be insane by the time results day comes around!

Only need to get a C in Econ 4 though, pressure well and truly lowered

Really? I only need two Es for two of my A Levels to get As.

Congrats Yeah I've been like that because I ended up putting my original 5th choice as my insurance Getting them the wrong way around would not be a pleasant surprise.

I think it was a joke so that their female friends didn't have husbands Well at my college it's rather lenient! So one of my friends is going on a year abroad next year so is married to another girl doing a year abroad... as well as being married to a guy, who is also married to another guy so there'll be two parents while his wife is abroad... it gets really complicated... And me and my wife have a friend who we've decided will be our bit-on-the-side if she doesn't end up married

Nah my family is amazing (it has me in )

Really complicated... It's like what we did in middle school hahah! I married my best friend... When we were joking, we divorced each other for many times and the one who was divorced would say: oh you broke my heart! Now I am the sister of one of my friend though I want to be her elder sister!! Oh well...FAMILY things are just fun!

Thank you! It was a fairly cathartic experience. Yep, I did exactly the same with my insurance so I definitely understand the stress. It doesn't help that I never actually had any real desire to go there at all but picked the place purely for the lower grade requirements (not really sure what I'll do if I miss the Oxford offer!).

I'm confused already haha, yeah gotta love a dysfunctional family

Totally agree with you haha.

BTW, are you now in Oxford? Do you mind me asking which college you are in and which subject you are studying?

Yaah, 1st year medic @ Worcester

wow medicine always sounds like a super tough subject for me...

My college wife has 3 dads

Every subject at Oxford is super tough you'll be doing engineering right? all that maths by no means sounds easy haha albeit I'm actually finding medicine easier than I'd expected, so it's not too bad really

That just offers so much scope for jealousy and incest.

Jealous! I wanted to apply for Medicine at oxford but my gcse's are not high enough even though my alevels are
How are you finding it?

The point is I LOVE MATHS haha. I found doing Maths such an enjoyable thing... [Am I a freak??]

Yeah based on the fact that you are frequently on TSR(am I correct?), it seems you have handled your subject pretty well hahah
