Default The Oxford Applicants Thread (For Entry in 2010)
 
I saw that Cambridge had one of these, yet the better university didn't. (!?)

Post here if you are thinking of applying to Oxford this October and hopefully those actually there can give us advice etc.

If there is a sufficient response I will add a list in this post of people, their proposed course and possible colleges.

The main open day for Oxford is on 1st/2nd July and you have to book ahead for some courses and the majority of colleges.

Oh, I'm going for Biochemistry.

Please do NOT quote this post. Thank You.

I may apply for English Literature but it all depends on my AS results and I don't think that my GCSE are Oxford material ¬¬. I really hope that I am able to if not Edinburgh.

Hah!
I'm looking to apply in in 2011, but I'd probably be pooled at best. In respect to course choice, Spanish & German or perhaps Law? I've still got 2 years to decide yet.

Well, German would be started from scratch or (ab initio) I believe they call it and yes, I've learnt Spanish to a good degree already and thanks.

I'll give it a go, depending on my AS Level results. I don't want to build myself up for anything yet. I don't think my application would be very impressive either.... good grades but not much of anything else I don't even know what I want to apply for - History or English or possibly Law but I don't think I'd stand much of a chance against public school kids who have like a month's work experience at their uncle's law firm in the City under their belt already.
