No he did them a couple of days ago, and got the offer today. It's really very different for organ scholars :smile:

Hopefully everything will be a go-go next week, with my reference written etc.

Is anyone here doing their LNAT after sending off your UCAS application?


I'm doing mine before. Although I don't think it really matter which way you do it.

When is your LNAT?

Wow! I'm jealous (firstly because I'd like to have an Oxford offer, but also because I'd quite like to be able to play the Organ :biggrin:)

Did he apply for Cambridge as well?

Thanks for your hilarious, astute and highly original contribution :yy:
Hi guys, been a while since my last post,

Supposed to send my UCAS form off today but my school said my qualification dates and date for EPQ results were wrong, and I apparently put "No" instead of "Yes" to recieving info by post.

Spent ages sorting it out and finally celebrated being able to send it all off.:rolleyes:

Got a message saying my qualifcation dates are all wrong, and it turns out I was right about everything all along, especially as the UCAS form actually said "I do NOT want to recieve information by post - YES/NO"...

I now have no idea what to do. I already paid/ sent earlier today. The school messed my details up (they made me change the qualifcation dates to 06/2011, even though I KNEW it was supposed to be August) :frown:

The school have sent me an email apologising, but I don't know what to do? If I change it, will any universities have already looked at it? </3 Will they be angry that it looks like I'm randomly changing qualification dates (it might look dodgy?)

So unhappy :frown:, particularly because the UCAS lady at our school shouted at me when I suggested she may be wrong (I had read the applicants info. the night before, and knew what date I should be putting) and I've spent so long changing stupid little details round on my form because the people at my school seem to not know what they're doing....

Today has been the most horrible day of my life, all of the disappointment and waiting, and hope and finally thinking I'd finished with all of this.....I thought I'd only feel this let down when I actually got a rejection or something..............I genuinely feel like giving up with UCAS right now.

I was really looking forward to posting in here later today when I'd sent everything off :'(

In that case it might be better to email the comp sci department directly and ask if your qualifications are suitable :smile:
