wow, so there are places in the pool for lawyers?
i didnt think many colleges would have places for pool candidates for a subject as competitive as law

It is surprising how many there are- I think around 18-30+.

Well Emma are the most successful college in the pool, so it should be at least the brightest glow-worm in the tunnel! The key thing to remember about the pool is that it is the criteria of the other college which matters. Apparently, GCSE and UMS etc come to be a lot more significant at the pool stage.

My LNAT essay means I'd be shocked to be pooled, let alone obtaining anything from it!

Here's another guy who has to wait till tuesday. But I live in Dublin, so perhaps it's slightly excusable if it arrives on tuesday. They'll be sorry if it's in the post for a fortnight, like my interview letter was! :mad:

I mean, it's only over the Irish sea anyway...

No - I was much calmer on the 31st when waiting for the postman. Now all the waiting & frustration has got to me, I'm much more stressed! :frown:

I had a dream last night: I was at some weird house with all my relatives, and then my mum came up & said that she had the letter from Downing, and that there was also one for my (15-yr-old) brother - but then she said that I couldn't have it until I'd spoken to my relatives! So I was just dyyyying to open the letter, and eventually she let me & my brother have them. So I opened mine and it didn't tell me if I had an offer/had been poooled/had been rejected - I couldn't really understand what it said 'cos it was written in strange English, but I think it was inviting me to a tea party at Downing because they hadn't decided yet?!!! :mad:

And then I found out that my brother had got an offer (errr... despite the fact he's in Year 10 atm... :confused:

) And then I woke up. :rolleyes:

There were other things that happened too, but that's the long & short of it - it's obviously reflecting my frustration at waiting for the outcome. :wink:

Lol, you and your dreams... :smile:

No, like EternalFantasy i'm seriously having problems trying to keep calm. I'm seriously suffering from insomnia. I imagine if the last few nights are anything to go by, i won't be getting any sleep tonight!

I have received the letter today (monday) to Canary Islands... so people from Central Europe should received today... tomorrow the latest. It's funny that people in England have not received them and I from the Canaries, have.

I know what you mean.. I'm feeling the same, maybe because it feels more surreal as time goes by..

And then all the dreams I'm having aren't helping.. sometimes when I think about my interview I'm not sure if I'm thinking about the real one or one of the interviews I dreamt about.. yeah, I think I'm going mad too.. I thought that maybe today I could have had the answer (I'm in Italy, no bank holiday), but of course, no, I have to wait till tomorrow, maybe even the day after tomorrow...

I'll be happy when everything's over.

Ahah, I was already blaming the delay on the awful Italian mail service.. It's nice to know that in Austria you haven't received it yet (I mean, not that I'm happy that you are still waiting), I think that you live in a well organized country, maybe there are still hopes for my poor little country :smile:

Anyway, whereabout do you live in Austria? I'm going to Vienna in a couple of months!

Exacly! I dont feel as stressed as the 30th but still, I dont feel 'normal'.
I also had a dream a few days ago that I got the letter and I had been pooled! I think this whole thing is getting to our brains.

Anyway, the wait is nearly over, about 18 hours left till 10 AM tomorrow, the latest the post might arrive.
