Oxford 2011 Freshers Chat Thread

Had it not updated already for you?

Mine updated twice, kinda worried they made a mistake.

Has anyone's UCAS updated already, when they were initially told February in their acceptance email/letter as when UCAS would update?

Mine said February too and hasn't been updated. Those who have had yours updated already, did your letters say January?

Mine said February too and hasn't been updated. Those who have had yours updated already, did your letters say January?

I think it's college dependent, since I applied to New College, and everyone I know was told February by New.

Yeah I'm New too It's stupid, I know I have an offer but won't quite believe it's not a mistake until it comes through on Track.

UCAS UPDAAAAATED, never in my wildest dreams did i expect an offer from a place as amazing as oxford! can't waitt to meet you all and go get me some knowledge aha...

Nope, it hadn't, but my college asked to send them a letter accepting the offer before they send it through UCAS and my mum only posted it yesterday .

I'm sure yours isn't a mistake, probably just some clerical error. Oxford admin, eh?

Ah right.

And hopefully it's just a mistake, I've e-mailed my college anyway, just to make sure, although, there were screams inside my head shouting: "Just firm it now in case it's a mistake!"

Wadham here

Medicine at wadham

Any one else at wadham, or doing medicine??

Hey there, have an offer for Psychology at Wadham
My offer letter was dated December 17th but UCAS track still hasn't updated yet though!!!
The other people I met at interview who got Wadham Psychology offers haven't had theirs updated yet either though.
But still, stress

I miss our closed thread already and so I had to make this thread.

Discuss anything at all, just like we did in our previous thread.

All of you, join here and may this thread be the new favourite tread for all the Oxford lovers :-)


Since it seems that people do want a list, I will produce one (sorted by colleges primarily, then by subjects)
- if there are any mistakes here, let me know, please. Also, if you want to be included in the list and you do not have your college and subject info in your signature, include this info in your post here :-)


Oxford Offer Holders list:

Just wanted to say congrats to the engineers who got an offer this year! 940 people applied for a place, about 450 were interviewed, and 160 (17%) received an offer

Interesting!

Where did you get the stats, and are they available for other subjects?

I just firmed Oxford

BTW, has anyone tried to find out their MAT score yet?

I know maths at New was incredibly competitive this year, there were 40 applicants at interview for just 8 places. So 20%, and that's even after culling 50% of applicants with the MAT.

Congrats! Yeah I want to know my MAT score, how would we go about getting it would you imagine? I am thinking email

I'm not sure of exact numbers, but I think it was similar at Merton (where I stayed for interviews) - there were loads of interviewees for maths
