French and Italian ab initio (then later hopefully Greek)

Are you an international applicant?

I'm from Germany, so I'm EU - I have the home fees. Ab initio ^^ did you ever go to Italy? Very brave of you. It's meant to be a beautiful language though.

You've also applied to Durham and Bath as well :tongue:

Durham hasn't gotten back to me yet. :angry:

How long did Bath take to update track? I got the offer letter in November, but it just says I've been accepted, and nothing else. No changes to Track yet either. :rolleyes:

Will that be your back-up?

i was pooled by st.johns for math and just recieved an e-mail by christ giving me an offer!!!

I was unaware Christ's really took people through the pool that often, so you must be special. You've made it into a BETTER college! How does that feel?

Hi, I've applied for English at Clare college but I haven't heard anything back yet (by letter or by email). Lots of people have found out whether they're in/out/pooled but I'm still in limbo. Should I be worried?????? :s

Haha thank you very much kind sir!! The same to you too :smile:

I'm going to study MML German with ab initio Russian ^_^ how about yourself?

OMG this neeeeds to be done!! Haha Selwynites :biggrin:

sounds like some kind of volcanic rock, Don't think i understand the Gryffindors thing though :/

Is this the college where both of you applied or were you guys pooled?

Aaah! The facebook group is genius :biggrin:

You volunteering to make it? :tongue:

I applied to Selwyn originally (cos if I had been pooled, medicine interviews would still be taking place this week) :smile:

although I think that loads of people have been pooled there this year?

Yus! Exactly the same! aaargh, I'm so excited haha
When did you have your interview?! I think mine was 14th but it all seems such a long time ago now!

Mine was on the 7th! I didn't know interviews went to the 14th
It seems like only yesterday for me - I was replaying the whole interview in my head and scrutinising my answers every night until I got my offer :tongue:

So pleased (and a bit surprised)!

Congrats, fellow law applicants

Oh no, that's really early mine don't start for 2 weeks :smile:

are yours A2s ?

Those are AS units for my Fmaths, S1 and S2. That's because my school do whole A-level maths in AS, whole A-level Fmaths + AS Fmaths Additional in A2

Ah ok

I don't think they were meant to because when I checked the website before getting my interview it said they were 6th-9th - maybe they just had a lot more applicants than they expected!!
Mine's a bit of a blur to be honest haha
Congratulations to you too! Will hopefully be seeing you in October...just got to get that A*AA first...

hello dave

I'm waiting to get my offer letter specifying the conditions (I was told by phone) from Peterhouse, and I'm worrying now it might be a nasty STEP or AEA distinction offer, just because I'm lazy and it will mean so much more work.. A friend got an offer for Natural Sciences at Peterhouse and his offer includes 1's in STEP 2 and 3 which is so harsh, I would struggle with STEP 2, and there's no chance I'd get a 1 in STEP 3..
