Same. I had it finished twice though but always found something I wanted differently and changed the whole thing - that damn character limit :colondollar:


Hate the limits! I thought I was doing well because i was quite a lot of characters under the limit, but oh no, I'm 4 lines over once I put it into UCAS :frown:

Ah, me too, I couldn't resist a quote in my sig :love:.


It's funny how you say that you're 'waiting' as if it's going to be some kind'f new series :rofl: And oh yes, he's worth a sig!

Has anybody actually sent their ucas off yet?

We are watching......

Also, I'm interested to see which of the regular posters get in.....:redface:
(Though by the time offers come out I'll probably be frantically revising for collections)


This is terrible, it's like we're a reality TV show or something! :eek: :tongue:

I wonder if anyone within the Oxford staff is keeping an eye on this thread :tongue:

I'm not doing the A Levels but it only took them less than 2 weeks which is quite nice :smile:

Looking for application advice, not sure if this is the right thread :P

I'm applying to Oxford to do physics, do you think that I stand a chance?
GCSE's: 8A* 3A 1B
AS levels: Physics B, Maths A, Further Maths A, Chemistry A, History A
A2 Predictions: A*A*AA (now dropped history)

I'm worried about my AS B, it was 5 UMS off, although Oxford won't care about excuses I suppose. Also I self taught FM so that might gain me some credit, all advice appreciated :smile:

The B is clearly far from ideal, but the rest of your application looks strong. You need to get revising for the PAT, as Oxford put a lot of emphasis on pre-interview tests :smile:

There are some Oxford people around (for example the Oxford CS department has an account! And one of that department's tutors posts a bit too). I expect this thread grows too fast for anyone to monitor though (after all it would be practically a full time job :wink:)
Anyone applying with AABB at AS? I'm not sure whether I should. I want to do Earth Science which isn't that competitive but I don't want to waste a choice. The B's are borderline A's aswell, I will be retaking 1 module from each paper to bring back to an A.

Okay, so not sure where exactly this post should be going but would like a realistic opinion on my chances of getting in
Got 5A*'s and 6.5A's at GCSE
Got AAAB at AS level and i am expected to be predicted A*A*AA
I am aware that they could be better but just dont know whether i should put all my eggs in the oxford PPE basket, i know its an extremely competitive course.
I come from a pretty mediocre state school too so hopefully i can swing that in my favour too haha, anyway, any advice is appreciated guys!

God you people that have sent off the UCAS form already make me nervous. I mean I only just gave my draft to my teachers for reviewing...

Who is applying for PPE in here?

Almost everyone, add yourself to our famous spreadsheet :biggrin:

Maybe the cs staff member merely monitors cs applicants. Start getting worried fluteflute :ninja:
