University of Oxford 2024 Undergraduate Applicants Official Thread

Hi Scotney
Would you be kind enough to share again the link of the Oxford parents thread? I've been looking for it but can't find it. If all goes well with A levels my child will start later this year and I wanted to ask existing parents a question. Thank you

Not Scotney, but here's the link: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5893218

Good luck for the summer exams!

Student Finance England is opening applications for full-time undergraduate courses for 2024 entry on Monday 11 March. Put a reminder in your calendar.

That is very kind of you.

hey all! i took a gap year after receiving a 2023 offer for hispol in merton. curious if there's a community for offer holders? shoot me a dm if so. would love to connect! especially with any other merton hispolers

Just a thought @Y6Teacher, some departments do an admissions report each year, which includes information on admissions test results v interview invites v offers, plus details about number and demographic of applicants, etc, and might be worth you seeing if this is the case for the subject your daughter applied for. In my daughter’s case, she applied for Physics and they do produce a detailed admissions cycle report each year.
I appreciate this won’t specifically help in providing feedback for your daughter, and answer all your questions, but it might prove to be useful in some respects.

Thanks for that. I'll have a look- she applied for English lit and was interviewed by Pembroke. Still no feedback. Her friend was interviewed for Spanish - no feedback yet either.
To be fair, the daughter has moved on and is happy with her Durham offer (still waiting on Edinburgh and St Andrews).
Working in education, I think I am the one more annoyed now with the length it is taking for a simple bit of feedback!

congratulations to your daughter on her offer from Durham
( believe it is just as prized an English Lit. offer, anyway)

Thanks! Her feedback arrived today. Gave a bit of detail so no complaints.
Best of luck to you all in the future.

people say I shouldn't have got in

Hiya, I am starting to get imposters syndrome about getting into Oxford, I keep getting hate because people say I shouldn't have got in with my ABB predicteds, I don't know how to feel. I got into Fine Art. I have achieved a D in EPQ and got 4 7s and the rest 5s at GCSE.
