Start working harder and revising early. That's why I want some offers, because it'll motivate me to get moving... :redface:

How can I have an interview at Oxford yet have heard nothing from any other university? Now I'm a Historian, not a Mathematician, but this just doesn't add up!

I was in that position at the beginning of the week haha! Interview at Cambridge but hadn't heard anything until a UCL offer yesterday!

Don't worry, you'll obviously get something if oxford think you're worthy for interview :biggrin:

haha it has motivated me to start going over content for Economics because that's what I'm most likely to get the A* in!

I applied for History, got an A*AA offer from Exeter which was surprisingly high...waiting on UCL, LSE, Durham and have an interview at Cambridge on the 17th. Just want this waiting to end, even if it's bad news! :L

I sent my answer to the question of what makes a 'good' history book a month today, (4th november), and received my offer yesterday, so basically had to wait a month for them to respond!

Don't get disheartened, History is very popular and they have to wade through a lot of applicants! I really think they place a lot of wait on the question and PS, because my grades aren't spectacular in my opinion!

I think UCL will take longer for V104 because theres hardly any places for it! I know they've started to give out V100 offers, because a few people have got one on this forum (including me, hooray!), so I reckon UCL will wait until after Jan 15th!

OOH!! Wow, seriously well done! UCL is a pretty cool uni, so well done for getting an offer :biggrin:

.. And yeah, I thought the same! Oh well, all of my unis are traditionally very slow :frown:

Its going to be interesting to see how many offers are given out for V104 and when; UCL's study abroad programme with straight degrees is lacking compared to other unis, so it was a difficult decision not to apply for the V104 course!

The competitions must be incredibly fierce! Indeed, I will like to see what UCL do in that front. I was considering the study abroad, but I was worried about the financing of it and also the competition of even applying for it! Studying at a North American university, especially if it was going to be a potential Ivy would have been wonderful but I'd rather actually get admitted to UCL and just not do the year abroad because it's a bloody incredible university!

Have you any idea so far of what you're going to firm? :biggrin:
