Woodhouse college!

That's exactly what I was thinking too

Wat do they consider a top students some1 who gets all A's n A*'s is it not ive got that n ive sat my sciences n maths in yr10 n got good grdes if a's is not good enough then wat is ????????

Yh thats probably why, i did say about 5-6 activities in my interview, maybe it wasn't enough lol.

By the way, in your year were there a lot of people who were on waiting list that got through?

Hey, I go Woodhouse now and I'm in my first year studying Maths, Economics, Geography and English Literature.

I received a direct offer with GCSE predictions of 9A*s and 1A (Which I got)

However Woodhouse is strange, anything can happen.

A friend of mine had the same predictions as me, got an interview instead, was put on the waiting list and never got in.

On the other hand another friend of mine with predictions of 5As and 4Bs got in from being on the waiting list. (He received his acceptance in the last week of term probably because of a dropout, for all you hopefuls)

Guess they want an "all rounded person", confident, intelligent and sporty.

And Woodhouse is not all that, there is still a great amount of dopey people there.

Good Luck to everyone who's applied.

Well, how many people can get into Woodhouse?
My interviewer told me that there were 4000 applicants and 1500 made it into the interviews.
Well, today is Friday and everyone should have their letters by now.

Hello every1
Kina new to this i also applied for woodhouse i'm predicted all a's iv'e done my maths, chem, physic and bio got a'z n a*z i even done my first language gcse in yr 7 n got a b it wasn't my first lnaguage all da other gcses im doin dis yr im gettin high grdes hopefully but woodhouse put me On the waiting list
Im confused wat r dey lookin for does anybody knoee?????
Srry bout da lng rant jus really dissapointed n confused

I haven't heard anything yet either o.0 I'm not too fussed tho :\
I applied for G&P, bio, maths and chem o.0

Anyone do Government and Politics?

Don't mean to hijack this thread but it seems very popular hehe
*Deep voice* It's alright...I know the owner

Yeah, I now, I am quite frustrated, luckily it wasn't my first choice but it is my back up :/

What are your predicted grades? And is Woodhouse your first choice?

wicked what A levels did you take?

And people may not even reach the requirements for a conditional offer.
But really, Woodhouse wants low grades...

Basically all the top students are given offers, but a lot of them reject their offers purely because they get offers from somewhere better. So that's why the waiting list is so huge and practically everyone gets put on it.

Hi, i don't understand either, but she also told me that they consider the harshness on predicted grades, e.g. a person at bishop douglass is predicted 7 or 8 A*s, then they would do checks and contact the school incase the person filled it out themselves.

I think its just academics and extra curricular. I was predicted 6a*,2A and 2B, i got an offer, However i also play county tennis, represent y school in many sports and participate in many societies, which i guess really does count.

Hope this helped

Hi, I've just literally signed up on this board 5 minutes ago because I need somebody to talk to about this. I'm tearing my hair out!

My predicted results are As and Bs and my interviewer was a woman and I think she dealt with something in student support. Anyway, her name began with J and she had an office in the library. She said that my interview had gone really well and was nice. I suspect that it did actually go quite well too.

WAITING LIST.

I've applied for Politics, Philosophy, Economics and Physics (aswell as the two other sciences if I can't do that).

She told me that 4000 people applied and 3000 got through into the interviews... They accept 500.

I REALLY need to get into this college. It's the best one and all of the others I've seen have so few places on offer and want 6 As like Latymer.

I guess that most of those who were interviewed are on the list although I probably wouldn't be talking about it if I got rejected. So how big is the list? I feel that I'm going to go mad.

Im really upset!
i had a good interview and i have high predicted grades and i live in the catchment area and i have about a full page worth of extra curricular activites, and i was really confident and charismatic in the interview and i got put on waiting list.
The interviewer even after like 5 mins was talking about how i would enjoy it, what i should do as enrichment et, basically talking as if i was already in!
I know its bad to assume things but it really did seem like i would get a place
And im not arrogant im just venting all my feelings!!
Grrrrrrr.
I heard that many people do get in from waiting list, but surely not everyone can get in, its just luck really... and karma...
Well done to everyone who got in though!
xx

They are looking for an allrounder...... my mate got put on the waiting list and got much better then me, the thing was that his only extra curricular activity was church, while i had a large amount of extra activities... But also not that many people bother to go on to waiting list and go on results day, but my friends queue was empty so he got in

I vote that there should be more colleges because they are seriously oversubscribed. Plus, unfairly, they take people in from local schools because those ones don't have 6th forms. WHY?

I bet this year the queue is gonna be huge for the waiting list lol
