Ok good! I just had no time to do that one, too much arithmetic. That's pretty normal people in the US don't even consider applying haha I was the only one who had ever applied to Oxbridge from my high school last year, at least for as long as my college counselor had been working there, but 2 people are applying this year so I guess I set a trend

It didn't go well. I had to guess a couple of times..
What about you?
I am already quite certain that I will be rejected in 3 weeks.

I only had time to answer about 30 questions, so not well at all :/ We still have three weeks of waiting? Great.

I am not quite sure but it was said that we are notified only one week before the interview - so for PPE this is in about three weeks I think..
The wait is awful.

Oxford say that 'at latest' you will be notified a week before, so really could be any time between now and a week prior, though from past experience applying last year, they tend to be very late so that 'a week before, latest' is normally pretty accurate

I found out the week before my interview.

interviews for PPE are right at the beginning, it is one of the first subjects(6th December). So the latest we will find out is the end of November, so as someone said within 3 weeks (21 days) good luck. Roughly 57% of us will be getting a rejection outright so, statistically we should all be pessimists ;p

I don't know where I stand... feel that the TSA test went well enough for me to get interview but the essay was horrendous..... I'm applying for Economics and Management.

I feel the exact same way. I definitely know that I got a number of questions wrong on the test, but I think that I did reasonably well (especially considering the fact that this year's test should be lenient on the grading). My essay, though, was just trash. I can't even remember what I wrote, but I'm still embarrassed. Anyone else applying for Experimental Psychology?

When they read my essay, they will wonder how I am going to meet the English language requirements for non native speakers..
But I speak English much better than I showed in the essay :biggrin:

Anyway, they must think I am crazy to apply for a course taught in English :biggrin:

This is pretty close to how I feel (applied for HumSci).
