Oxford Applicants for 2012 Entry

okay majorly confused... just read on one of the threads that you have to write any admissions tests on your ucas... is this true?! my school hasn't said this and I thought it was kind of obvious you're taking the test if you've registered it... need to submit mine by tonight and i don't know what to doooo

Ahhh I don't know what to do! Did you get all A's? I'd definitely put them down but I got a B in one maths module so I don't know if it's just better not to put them at all...

I've just checked and you do NOT need to put any admissions tests on the UCAS form unless they've already been completed. The results from any admissions tests/exam scripts will be automatically sent to oxford.

have you guys put your module grades down?

I sent my application yesterday. Now the waiting begins....

I angsted a lot about this after hearing contradictory advice form the teachers in my school. In the end I just left them out

York college?

I may be wrong, but I thought selective Universities like Oxford require module grades? Or maybe I heard wrong.

excited about applying but also EXTREMELY stressed, but i'll get over it

Sixth form college presumably. I'm disappointed in you two for being so slow (but I suppose I have the advantage of attending a "college" myself)

I've applied for Worcester, anyone else going there?

Aye, but in NI and presumably Scotland no one uses the word "college" in that way. In NI we just say school or the tech (if you go to an FE college)

Yeah in Bonnie Scotland a college is where you go to 'study' travel & tourism or beauty therapy.

It's actually quite confusing where I live....

I go to an academic "sixth form" college (where the vast majority of people do A levels). But the name "sixth form" doesn't really make sense seeing as we number our secondary schools years "years 7-11" rather than "years 1-5".

So then there are the vocational "further education" colleges. Although confusingly FE is a term that's used to refer to anything between GCSEs and Uni which is Higher Education...

But to add to that, a lot (perhaps a majority) of the secondary schools in my area have decided it's fashionable to stick "colllege" in their name. So my secondary school renamed itself "Chamberlayne College for the Arts". (It supposedly has a "specialism" in the performing arts, but it's by no means a place you go to primarily study drama/dance/music)
