Somerville Applicants for 2016/Oxford

I've applied for Computer Science at Somerville :smile:

Has anyone received an email about interview yet?
I know they said that for 'sciences' we would hear before the 7th of December, and not likely before, but the wait is killing me! :tongue:

I heard back today for history, maybe you'll hear on the third?

It's no problem, just gonna reapply next year! :smile:

I'm from the United States so I'm looking at Duke, Brown, and Princeton. I applied for PPE at Somerville; I wasn't surprised by the rejection email.. almost expected it, despite already having my qualifications fulfilled + more. I think I got nervous when taking the TSA and wrote a pretty crappy essay too. Good luck with your applications I hope you get interviews if you didnt already and maybe see you next year lol!

Guys I'm really scared I'm gonna get rejected. The MAT went very badly (I thought 1 was a prime number!...😶). I don't think I'm bothered about not going to Oxford....I've got St. Andrews as a back up. It's more so the personal failure?

Has anyone got an interview? It'd make me feel less uneasy if I knew they weren't turning everyone away!

Maybe begin practicing TSA now, have written work done ahead of time? Princeton, duke and brown are good universities and if you want, you can apply to Warwick for PPE so you dont sit around for a year doing nothing. Either way, i wish you luck!!!
