I only have 2 confirmations- Durham and Bristol. Sigh :redface:

I have an overwhelming urge to send off the essays as soon as poss. and get it all done, but we have to wait for an acknowledgement :rolleyes:
Got a confirmation email from Oxford at 8:49am this morning which was nice! Also have them from Durham and York. Two more to go... it is a nice feeling! I've heard people have already got offers from Manchester which has made me a bit nervous.
Got 4/5 confirmation emails, the Oxford one made me feel too excited...

Beautiful doesn't quite do it justice, put it that way :love:.
Nice small cosy college, leafy surroundings and reasonably tucked away from tourists; I walked past it whilst looking for it! :redface:

It's a very popular college for these reasons. :smile:

Its awesome. There is a lake, the accommodation is fantastic, the sports field is massive. Grand buildings, very Oxford-esque, brilliant library and the hall looks nice too (Y)

I was going to apply there but decided against it last minute, but you've def made a good choice :biggrin:

Pembroke! :biggrin: I think I might have been near the top of the email list because my surname begins with A, possibly.

I'm not really doing much for it, to be honest. You can't really prepare for it as such, just have a look over the past paper example and practice your close-reading skills :smile:
