Classics Applicants 2014

Congrats to Darth_Newdar and the person who got an interview from Oriel! Still waiting on my college :s

Just got an interview for New College

Lux and Darth are you applying for Classics 1 and have you done Latin and Greek to A2? My daughter has an interview for Classics 1 at Corpus. She is doing A2's in Latin Greek History and English. She doesn't come on here because it would freak her out. Good luck to you all.

Hey everyone! I'm a bit late to the world TSR

Application sent: October 1st
Applied to: Oxford (Brasenose), St Andrews, Durham (University), Nottingham, Liverpool.
AS: AAAA (English Literature, History, Philosophy and Ethics, Biology) EPQ: A*
A2: (predicted) A*A*A (English Lit, Philosophy and Ethics, History)

Got offers from Liverpool (ABB) and Nottingham (AAB/A*AC).

I thought Durham sent offers later on but I heard today that they've started sending them out already (although to engineering but they aren't international) so I'm going to have to revert to logging into Track every five minutes again

I'm now becoming very impatient waiting for Oxford's verdict. I've applied for Classics II btw (achieved full marks in both Greek and Latin (self taught) at GCSE and tried to keep up the languages to an extent).

Duuuude thanks for making people like me look bad... I have literally done nothing for language hahahaha.

Sorry You don't need to have done anything! It's usually all (being A2) or nothing with Classics - I'm the weirdo who's stuck somewhere in the middle. Plus I've basically forgotten everything anyway!

You're the first person I've come across who wants to do Classics with neither language! *high five*

Please tell me that you found the CLAT horrific too?!

Forgot to say: Bristol is awesome (says the Bristolian). Encountered a few members of the Classics Department there in my time and they all seem very nice.

Mmmm I'm rather mixed about it actually. It wasn't great but I was quite pleased by the fact that I actually finished it. (Granted, I did finish that last 25% section in 4 minutes (purely due to necessity lol) so it's probably complete ****e. What did you think of the Serbian and Bonk? (I didn't even realise that's what it was called till someone who didn't even take it (took the latin/greek parts I think) asked me about it hahah)

What's this about Bristol? Why the sudden advertising?

I saw some people had offers/applied. It was a spur of the moment thing.

I found the Bonk section relatively easy, except for last question of the section. Verbs inside verbs?! The Serbian (tbh I didn't even notice what language it was supposed to be) I wasn't particularly sure about - usually I'm not too bad at stuff like that (done UKLO a few times) but I got a bit confused. The English, the last section, I thought was strangely the hardest. Apart from the last question. I finished too but it was rather time pressured and not my best performance. Hey ho.
