Congratulations!!

Wonderful. Assume Magdalene Oxford not Cambridge? We had a Cambridge post earlier.

Congratulations - best of luck for the interviews!

Nope. But when anyone does, you can bet they'll come straight here and brag about it.

On a serious note, congratulations on getting an interview.

Nothing yet. Although, because people are getting interviews for Oxford, I'd expect a decision from imperial within in the next week or so.

Would Maths for Oxford take longer than CS then?

Congratulations. Out of interest, how well do you think you did on the MAT?

I'm starting to see decisions coming through on the system from some colleges. (Other colleges haven't made them yet.)

Once all the decisions for a subject at a college have been made, the college send out their batch of letters/emails. So, each college tends to do them in a different order. This is nothing to worry about. But it can mean that there can be quite a few days difference between one college and another for a single subject area. Most email but it can be post, or both. It really depends on the college.

All the colleges will get back to their candidates. It just takes a while. It's an extremely busy time of year for the administrators.

It's the college that makes the decision. OxfordMathsDept and I suggest default thresholds for shortlisting, based on MAT scores and number of A*s at GCSE. However, colleges are encouraged to look carefully at candidates around the borderline, taking into account other factors such as contextual information. If a college goes against the default, they have to explain the reasons for their decision. I think this scheme works well: it ensures candidates are treated pretty consistently, regardless of the college they applied to; but it allows tutors to use their professional judgement.
