Hey guys does anyone want to try and organise meeting up regardless of college so we can all get to know each other? Will probably be like an evening as I doubt they'll hold interviews then and also gives us a bit of a break from the stress!

Purple Turtle 8:00PM Thursday? :biggrin:

On a more serious note, I'm still waiting for a reply so can't guarantee, but it would be awesome for us TSR historians to have a little gathering. :smile:

yeah I think that's a good idea! When we all know our timetables next week it'd be nice to get together for a little historian solidarity meet up lol
How is everyone going about preparing for interviews?
Just received an interview from Wadham for single honours History:biggrin:

Just got one too! See you all there! :biggrin:
Should we get some sort of event/group on Facebook sorted out? That way it should be easy for us to coordinate meeting up, as well as keeping in touch post-interview?

Aha no problem at all! All I would have done is made it a private group, just so that we could all feel a little more exclusive :P

Sounds like fun! :smile:
I definitely, definitely am overthinking this... But I suppose, if you're gonna overthink stuff, Oxford is the place to do it, so...

In terms of clothes, are you guys gonna have like a set of 'interview clothes' separate from stuff you'll be wearing when just chilling out? I just don't wanna overpack/look silly changing in and out of outfits like some budget Superman.

PS: I know it doesn't matter in the slightest.

believe me everyone understands, even though we all know by know that it fully doesn't matter at all. Personally I'm wearing black jeans, a jumper and/or shirt and brogues. It's pretty similar to what I wear to sixth form anyway (but swap the brogues for Docs). I'm probably going to travel in a tshirt and hoodie and pack an extra tshirt in case. I don't think anyone'll care if you change your outfit after, since the suit and tie people might do that as well.

Okay, thank goodness I'm not alone. Cheers :smile:

Join this for the meetup! This should be a little easier as 1. It's a closed group 2. Everyone can see all the posts
