It's really awesome there! Although there was a lot of italian people around (surprisingly, since usually when i go there it's full of german) and it was frustrating since i dont understand a single italian word :biggrin:

But anyways Italian people are fun to be around, so I had an awesome time :smile:

Hey

Computer Science at St. Catherine's.
Anyone else got an offer for a subject that they didn't apply for? (initially applied for Maths with Comp Science)

I'm not in that situation, but that's interesting - I knew a guy who applied for CS at Cambridge and got an offer for Maths, so I thought that there was a chance of getting an offer for one or the other when applying for the join degree at Oxford, but when I asked an admissions tutor at an open day, he said it definitely wouldn't happen there. He must not have been from St Catherine's, then!

I didn't expect it, since my first CS interview was a disaster, but then they called me for another interview where they asked if i would accept an offer in CS only, because they think i am better at it, but they quickly implied there was nothing definite and it was just a possibility so i didn't know what to expect. now i'm actually more excited about the cs course than the joint one :biggrin:

I applied for Law with French Law but have an offer for straight Law. Although it's a well-known thing because there are so few places for the year abroad course and I was asked if I would like to be considered for it. No idea about Computer Science/Maths but your change in offer sounds a bit more complex than mine! :p:

Woo Worcester! Even though Balliol was an awesome place to have interviews - didn't get the ensuite, but did have a PIANO, oh yes! Even though I can't play...

A piano? Really? Just in your room? :confused:

That's pretty weird :s-smilie:

Same!

Such a relief. I was worried It was going to say "declined" or something :p:

At least now it's official.

When did your track change? I'm lurking on this thread because I'm still waiting to find out, so if track is being updated today then that is good news for me!

I know, that's Balliol for you... Also, there was someone playing trumpet in the early hours one night. Insane.

Same, the tension as I was waiting for Track to load was awful ... and then the neat little column of four Conditionals came up ... phew :cool:

Mine was updated at 10.32 this morning.

Also - does anyone know if all the open offer letters were sent out by St Hugh's? I'm wondering if it means anything that mine was ...
