Expecting a rejection. You?


Yeah, me too. My interviews couldn't have gone much worse :frown: why are you expecting one?

Original post by RainbowVeins
Currently my state is alternating between "ahhh can they not just let me know already" and "OMG no no no no no only two weeks left :eek:" So yeah, I'm feeling pretty nervous, but I have a weird sense of excitement too 😂


Haha me too!! I want to know, yet I know when I get the letter it will take me at least an hour to open it! 😂 it's just scary isn't it... But cambridge was always a long shot I guess :smile:

I always think that there is a glimmer of hope that I can cling onto but when I think realistically it just disappears. :frown:

Anyway good luck to all!

OMG I think I showed the interviewers what ultimate stupidity is when my answer to "where do T cells mature" was thylakoid instead of thalamus. :O

Haha I did apologise at the end though. :tongue:


Do you study the immune system in school then? There's none of that on my exam board :frown:

I think that if someone is not expecting a rejection they probably haven't considered the probability of getting in well enough, so I think we're all in the same boat. As elishaclark said, expect the worst, hope for the best :smile:

Depends on college, some colleges send letter only and some send email and letter (like trinity send email on 10th to all applicants). Some colleges say that if u dont receive ur letter by the 12th u can contact them and they will send u a copy of the letter by email.

Has anyone else had an interview at emmanuel?

I had one on the 10th
When they say a letter will be posted on the 9th, does that mean they will seal an envelope and go to the post office on the 9th or that we'll receive a letter on the 9th? If the latter is true, i'm skipping school.

9th is the posting date, which means that's when they seal envelopes. And I'm pretty sure all colleges send emails on the 10th for international applicants.

Thank you :smile: does anyone know if St John's will send emails? Waiting until the 12th for my letter feels like a torturous wait :frown:

Im sure u wont have to wait till the 12th... cuz u should get ur letter on the 10/11 tbh.
Not sure actually, u can drop them an email, tho id wait till monday to send an email (if u havnt found out by then) cuz theyll b open then so theyll reply pretty quick.
