Yes, lots of people got them yesterday. Look a couple of pages back. Several haven't yet, so don't worry

Did everyone get a 'financial arrangements' letter? I'm not sure whether to send it now or wait until I accept the offer...
Ahhh, I really want my UCAS to update. Lmao, I realised that the admissions office at ChCh opened aswell today, so that made it worse! :biggrin: I need it to come on so that I know they didn't make a mistake! :wink:

There are few boxes and you have to tick one - EU student, overseas student etc. but in the options it says things like '...I intend to apply to Student Finance England...' which made me think that maybe you send it even if you don't know what you're doing yet.

won't be important, I'll just ask at the welcome day

I did. I think I'll send mine off now with a little form I had to fill in to say I'm accepting the offer.

:O Maths and CompSci at Worcester? I met a guy applying for that in the porter's lodge, signing in as I was signing out and going to catch my train - I wonder if you're the same person? Haha


Probably not, I was too ****-scared to talk to anyone at Worcester - they changed my interview time twice, so I thought I was going to be late. Bloody nightmare... Also, I didn't originally apply there, so I was staying at Balliol, and kinda ran back to the JCR there as soon as my interviews were over :P

I know it's early days but it's still quite depressing seeing how few names there are compared to the orginal Applicants Thread.


I wouldn't be too upset. I suspect that there are quite a few people on TSR who have an offer and will still post on this thread, but are too scared of putting their names on the offer holders list for fear of tempting Fate before they get their exam results.

In fact, I chose open for college and university chose Brasenose for me. I had my interview there and I was grateful that school picked a good college for me. Have you received the letter and forms from Brasenose?


Yup; they took a while to come (I live in Asia) but arrived last week! I've sent them back, hopefully they'll reach Brasenose before 14 >.<

I thought I was ridiculously lucky to get re-allocated to a relatively small, old college with central Oxford accomodation! :tongue: Pretty much everything I wanted - I have no sense of direction so large colleges like Worcester would be quite problematic for me. I was admittedly quite mortified when I read that they had a formidable reputation for Law. :eek:

Are you firming Oxford? Is your offer conditional or unconditional?
Apparently I haven't posted for this list yet;

St Catherine's
Human Sciences

I did exactly the same thing! I had two interviews at Pembroke, but in between ran back to the safety of Balliol JCR!

Balliol has a great JCR! Did you play Articulate at all? Such a good game. What will you be studying?
Can I be added to the list? St Hugh's French, (unconditional so not tempting fate) SO excited! :smile:

History and English :smile: (I see you're doing Maths & Comp Sci)
I didn't get to play Articulate, but I was really surprised by the JCR - I thought the JCR was big, until I found out that there there was a room off to the side!
I've got no idea what to expect with Pembroke now (all I saw were 2 interview rooms and 2 preparation rooms :redface: )
