The majority of (particularly law
) applicants I met were more concerned about parking facilities than anything else.
History applicants seemed lovely though
Luck of the draw I guess...

haha
except for Chris and a few other law applicants the rest were just OTT. 
I really could not see myself working alongside them. For some strange reason I was constantly surrounded by the language applicants. If they were not Spanish or Greek it was French and Arabic! They were all v. nice though.

Then there's a silver lining to your rejection ^-^

Nah, I still would've gone. You'd be stupid to reject an Oxford offer. Even if you think you're not gonna like it, you can always do it for a year, and then drop out if you reckon you're gonna be miserable.
Anyway, I'm practically guaranteed to get onto the BCL
!!!My dad's friend got an offer and rejected it...

out of interest, which year are you in?
i live next to a lawyer now & know quite a few & most of them are actually the loveliest people..
so was wondering if i was your interview cohort?though i hated the people i met at interview too, but most of the really obnoxious/offensive types don't seem to actually get in.

ah, not my cohort then.. i couldn't comment specifically on the successful 1st year lawyers as a whole.
& i'm at Magdalen, so i'd like to state the case that there are plenty of beautiful people here!
but given the majority of those at interview don't get in, tis perhaps not the best time to judge what the student community is truly like..?Dreama - well, none of the irritatingly abnoxious ones out of the 60 applicants or so for my subject in my year got in.. maybe i was just lucky.

but given the majority of those at interview don't get in, tis perhaps not the best time to judge what the student community is truly like..?I have to say, some of the students who were actually already there and were helping us out were nice people - although not necessarily my 'type' of person...I'm just not used to people like them. I really dont know how else to put it.
The accolade for the biggest w*nker law student I've met goes to a UCL student who judges a debate between us and Oxford. He was a complete and utter stuck-up, obnoxious, chronically arrogant tit whose head I wished to ram against the wall. ARRRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!
Dreama
The sheer majority of them in my Interview group - they couldn't have helped but picked a few!!
All the nice people I met seem to have gotten rejected
Except one lovely scouser but that's it...I wonder if those with the offers were nice! Those ones didn't spend much time in the JCR/Bar (I wonder if there's a connection there
)Well I guess I'd like to know why they gave me an extra interview... just so I can say I was close or something, but it doesn't really matter.
