I'm splitting my interview preparation into 3
-general maths revision. I'm going over some statitstics like null hyporthesis, etc and also going back on some calculus, matrix work etc
-Making mind maps of current events, likely questions that I'll be asked, work experience I did
-General wider reading. I've just finished Making Globalization Work by Joseph Stiglitx ( :love:

) and I'm starting on freefall by him too, but after that I'll most likely start Will Europe work? or maybe Paul Krugman's Peddling Prosperity.

Very nicely done!! What are your grades like if you dont mind me asking? Also how well do you think you did on the TSA?

My grades are 4A*6A at GCSE and 3A*2A at A level (with A*Maths and Economics). As for the TSA I really don't know but last year I got an average of 67.7. You applying to St Annes also?

How did you find out about Durham? Did you find out which college, and what were your grades like?

I found out about Durham through UCAS. Check the Durham AES, and if it's been sent off to the college, then you will likely receive an offer within a week, that's what happened with a few people at my school now, as well as me. They tell you the college within three weeks of the offer as they have amended the process.

My grades at GCSE were pretty standard 3 A*, 6 A, 2 B, 1 D
But my precited grades are A* A* A* A (Economics, Gov and Pol, Religious Studies, and the A in Maths).

Hope this helps, and good luck.

To be honest, I believe that a majority of the decision made at Oxford is down to the interview. So hopefully you will get one and then, at interview, it is all down to you!
