Noone needs to know :wink: but that would make a hilarious PS...
"I'm so dedicated to Oxford that i even attempted killing off the competition... i'm not crazy... honest" :lol:


Ha! So true. Maybe if we continously encourage her she will do this :smile: Certainly a new method of showing dedication: forget background reading :biggrin:

Oh, you guys are mental :lol: Although why would I put that in my PS if I'd also love to go to Durham or St Andrew's? :mmm:

I wish you the best of luck, Chiara. :colone:
One Oxford applicant tried to stand out by writing in his Personal Statement "my hobbies are hugging, kissing and making love".

Apparently they actually called him for interview (because the rest of his application was of the required standard) and has a few words with him. He was very embarrassed! They actually gave him an offer though, but he failed to meet the grades.

This may well form the most interesting chain of murders ever... We will simply HAVE to come up with a name for such heinous action :biggrin:

:lol: a name? like regicide and genocide? maybe Alumnicide if we want to keep the Latin aspect :wink: although that sounds a bit boring :redface:

I hope no one goes through my internet search history and sees that I'm searching synonyms for 'killer' and 'murderer'.

CHIARA THE CUT-THROAT! Not exactly accurate but the alliteration works. :smile:

YES. We will use this! I'm hoping she would use other methods of slaughter rather than buses... I mean, the amount of buses and chance of her targets being near these buses as the small number pass by the target...

I may state on my PS that I'm specifically interested in the rationality of economics and thus, its aid in planning murders :smile:

:wink: if she were more of a girly girly girl then she could kill people with her girly accessories and then people could all fear the dreaded razor sharp Chiara's Tiara! :lol: so random

and oooh yes! Disappointingly, i don't think saying that i'm good at killing people would look... favourable... on my medicine PS :frown:

hah! I swear she is reasonably girly though? Barbie-esque nail painting etc? :tongue: I love how we're just talking about her :colondollar:

You could be the next Harold Shipman.

OMG i just googled him! Now, i wouldn't mind being famous, but for being one of the most prolific murderers... i'm not convinced :wink:

:wink: tiaras are always a good thing to add!
Oh my god, what have I been missing!? :rofl: This is insane! I feel so famous :awesome:

No, Chiara the Bus Runner Overer does not sound good. I like Chiara the Cut Throat Tiara, not only with its double alliteration but with the juxtaposition of the piracy and the Barbieness. Alumnicide, hmm, maybe. :lol:

Chiara the Cut Throat Tiara it is. I love you three very much.

I can't believe somebody would have the guts to send that in :lol:
I just had a look, and there are more than 20 posts devoted to me killing fellow applicants. I sincerely hope our admissions tutors do not read this :mmm:
