I might ask Jess :tongue:

Jess! Jessss!

Oh, I have to quote her in. Dammit.

Things to do in France? Visit the Louvre (I avoided the Mona Lisa and instead looked at 14th - 17th century Northern paintings, which was almost deserted), and sit in beautiful gardens reading L'Étranger and feeling sophisticated. Though I felt slightly less sophisticated because the person who'd had the book before me had covered in in Happy Birthday paper. :biggrin:

TSR Field Trip! We should have a rejects' trip to Paris for the interview time. "Who cares that you got an interview and might be accepted to Oxford? WE'RE going to Paris!" :tongue:

This year I do more Maths, Physics and History, and Biology and Chemistry.

Is that four advanced highers and a higher? Are you trying to kill yourself?

Umm, actually I'm a Non EU International. From India. So, chances are that either they'll come down to Delhi for the interview or they'll do it on the phone/skype etc.

it's the latter. if the tutors had the time to get a visa to fly to India, it means you would have the time to get a visa to fly to UK too, thus they'll ask you to go there. but there's no time. hence online interview or through phone.

This sounds like a good idea! Also, gorging ourselves on crepes in a little chic Creperie is a must :tongue:

). But I'll definitely pray that we both do make it through! :biggrin:

Yeah, sure! Have you heard from Worcester yet? I haven't received the 'active consideration' email.. :frown:

oh..what is it anyways? :redface:

something related to horse race( man, I'm so dumb! :colondollar:

)? Coz i've heard punters or something.. ok, i know the assortment myt sound a bit odd.. Its KCL, Durham, Exeter and Loughborough.. Wbu?

Ooh, Oxford are finally getting with the times haha :P wow, what's it like over there? I've always wanted to go! Assuming you survive... we English students love our hyperboles :wink:

Ive only had the one from Oxford, it does say "We can confirm that you have chosen to study at Worcester College" so they've obviously got our applications :smile:

should we have had something else?? *paranoidbecca...*

Punting is when you go on a boat thing on the river.. It's a long narrow boat with a long pole to push yourself along..

That's the best place to punt, by Magdalen/botanic gardens. there's even an outside cafe for all the magdalen students to laugh at us... :smile:

That's an eclectic mix haha! I'm going for Ox, Durham, York and Royal Holloway, if I get no offers I'll add Edinburgh :smile:

Guess I'm just not very observant, I only looked at it properly just now.

:biggrin:

haha what can I say, I'm a girl with many talents (Y) :wink:

I've decided to transfer this conversation to the 2012 Applicants thread, to help boost our postcount and beat Cambridge!

I can forgive you: it took me ages to realise what punctuation's avatar means! (despite me being a big fan of the show).

You clearly are :wink:

I hope you made your PS rhyme...

I can't believe you managed to create an extra eight pages while I slept...

In other news: I'm now being FB stalked :tongue:

By whom?

Hm I'm going to pick up my self-teaching of French again to hopefully be at a good standard by the summer! :biggrin:

And if I go to Durham, St Andrew's or Edinburgh I will definitely pick up ab initio Russian. Everyone else I know picks up Italian...screw that :colonhash:

One of my friends is being taken to Paris by his best mates over Christmas as a birthday present :frown:

Ever so jealous, my Christmas holidays will consist of me crying about rejections from Oxford.

I'll make sure to take some good pictures on Wednesday and put them here :biggrin:

Incidentally, birthday season in our house has begun :biggrin:

There are birthdays in October, November, December and January...added together with Christmas, it gets expensive :biggrin:

Plus my best friends have birthdays in February and March :lol:

I wrote my sister three limericks in her birthday card :awesome:

Right, it really is time to start on my huge mountain of work. fmlllllll

a few parts I couldn't figure out. have only been practising with 3 papers so far though. what score do you usually get in your practice papers?

do you have the 2006 paper's solution btw? I did the paper without realising it has no markscheme and now am craving for the answers to some questions. D:

Duh....that's disheartening! I would rather prefer interviews in person.. :frown:

Somehow the idea of interviews on phone or net seems scary!
Or even better- NO INTERVIEW! :biggrin:

( I mean to say unconditional/conditional offer)

to be honest, I feel the same. I prefer being interviewed in person. if only they had a representative who could interview me here... but we'll see. it's either the online interview or nothing!
