Haha okay

there are a load of us. Here is our FB group: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_142530855812205&notif_t=group_activity

Woe is me! I don't use facebook!

Should I start? What actually goes on there? I should probably mention at this point that I'm one of those rabid people who tries to make friends with everyone I think I'm going to meet before term starts.

That is pretty much what the group is for and what most people there are doing. We also trade college info and chat about subjects etc. Oh and most importantly we have BANTER!

I love your username! I once wanted to call myself PROTEIN.

I got an open offer so maybe I'll end up with you hahaha. But I'm not going to hear which college will take me until August.

I'm hopefully off to Sidney next year as well, and I've heard nothing either. They must sort it out in August.

Really? :O
So how does that work? Is that at undergraduate level?

They probably wait till they know exactly who has met their offer etc.
Don't worry :smile:

Hi, I'll be a sidney vet (if the exams go ok =S). I've not heard anything about accommodation either, I think it'll come through after cambridge gets our exam results.

It's at undergraduate level. Medicine open offers were just introduced this year- they give you an offer without a college. You're guaranteed a place in the course if you meet their conditions and come August, you're just put into a college which has a vacancy.

I seem to have filled in over 9000 forms, but it's mainly CRB check and trying to give them my A level results, hep B things etc, not the really vital stuff like accomodation. If you're on the fb group and look in the who's in what college list under Open Offer, I'm The Other One ^^ remember to say hi!

I'm not so much worried about my offer, I'm just worried I'll do REALLY badly because I've been lacking any motivation over the past few months.

Which exam is it? Have you done any modules in the exam already?
I'm sure you will do fine! Good luck!
