Oxford Applicants for 2012 Entry MKII

Sorry to question you, but we only have to send one essay in, right?

Oh and do you think it's ok to send in a piece of work that mentions interpretations (passages by historians) because I really want to send this essay off, but I don't know if it counts as a "source-based commentary" which apparently isn't allowed

My school really aren't helping when it comes to written work my teacher wants to send it off on the 9th of November to be in Oxford by the 10th!

So do I. English has so many amazing words.

Bless

Like... GLOBULES! Definitely my favourite English word

Heheh

Like... GLOBULES! Definitely my favourite English word

Heheh

I would love to have a question on game theory. I feel very comfortable talking about experimental and behavioural economics. Those areas are probably my favourite

Cutie You will be a lifesaver to them.

Yes! The majority of people seem to vote for s-con

apparently I say "asc-ept" (as in 'ascertain')... while most people (apparently!) say acksept.

mine are 12-14... though really 10-14

ohh I see. See I always think, the English language is so variable, if someone says something like that people shouldn't always be like OMGYOUGOTITWRONG..

globular proteins...

biology...

There are many great words that are going out of fashion. Why don't we say chipper more? That is such an upbeat word!

Im applying to History and Economics so I get to send in 2
This interpretations ting of yours, is it for coursework, or even better OCR coursework? Generally if the question includes the word 'sources' then its best not to send it. I'm sending Wadham my investigations coursework about Stolypin hopefully before the 9th, I stapled my essay which apparently isn't allowed

Everyone loves biology and all those immunoglobulins!

Added you

Oh really? I don't really know much about it part from prisoner's dilemma on a wider scale... I mean, that is basically all it is right? different strategies with varying players, payoffs etc

Oh gosh, I hate rationality, it's somewhat interesting but I'm more or a hardcore macro kinda gal hehe Look at us! Although I'm so mainstream Ariely's book was quite fun to read. He is a babe.

naww thanks. Or yknow... If i decide to re-apply I'll really help them (;

Well, you may not love them... but they all love you!

Chipper just makes me think of chipmunks!

There are loads of amazing French words out there

yes, I agree. people haven't really noticed that particular example I put, but I was just informed lightheartedly by my friend

This argument probably does not belong to the Oxford applicants thread.. Determining both Smith's significance and applicability today could use up thousands of pages - I'm definitely not gonna go into that one ..

And about the "put your avatar as your idol"-thing, it is a matter of taste.. It seems like a pretty insignificant thing to be "against".. If people like a puppy or a stupid animation as their avatar, I don't care .. Plus, I'm not against things just because they are done by many.. IMHO that makes one even less individualistic

Side note: I thought the Smith picture looked cool - that had a say also

Ah I see I grew up with an Austrian mother whose grasp on punctuation/ the subtleties of the English language isn't great, so I still say some words 'wrong' but does it matter if people can understand me?? haha. the other day my mum literally said 'I freeze the sausages last night.' I was like..
