Oxford Applicants 2016 Entry & Interview chat

I know what you mean, there are so many people on TSR that seem to think they know everything about medical applications when in fact they don't know enough. I took AS Maths and it was the biggest regret of my life, I didn't enjoy it and I would have much rather studied a different subject than had to devote so much time to a subject I really had no interest in. I didn't mind integration, differentiation and the topics along those lines although apart from that I found myself wishing I'd chosen something else.


Hmm you make a good point. I don't know whether to apply to a college that states that they don't mind what subject you choose as your third subject, I'm just so unsure! I've asked a few people and they're all telling me just to stay with New but I'm really grateful for your help as you're putting it into perspective for me. Do you think it would be risky? I want to ensure that my application is at least considered as my stats are good (I hope), so I don't want my college choice to ruin my Oxford chances for me!


Thank you once again, I actually do really appreciate the help it's just such a stressful time!

Hi guys hoping to apply to Oxford for 2016. Ensuites are weirdly important for me like I need one. So which Colleges can provide that from freshers thanks

Wadham I think , I am applying post a2 so I got my grades, I just need the Elat to go well. What are you subject choices?

Thank you have you sent yours off?

Oh my gosh I'm going to sound weird now but I remember talking to you ageess back about both wanting to apply to phys nat sci at cambridge ahaha

Same here Hopefully it'll all go a little better by November

Anyone know when we're likely to hear back from Oxford? Does it vary from college to college?

Well not until late November I assume, people need to sit the various aptitude tests before they can make a decision.

You might get a confirmation that your application is being considered but the interview invitations won't go out until a week or two before you're due to come for interview. So, yes, late November is about right.
