Oxford Applicants 2016 Entry & Interview chat

Sent my application for PPE at Merton two hours ago. I am nervous.
Applying from Germany.

Painful stuff. </3 Just hoping I at least get an interview!

Does anybody know whether handing out offers fairly quick (like Warwick does - or a bit slower) is commonplace?

If they're applying now, then they're applying for entry in October 2016 so second term would start in January 2017?

Just sent off my UCAS for BA Oriental Studies. Do you get some sort of confirmation email from Oxford (St John's) and how do I send in my essays?

I'm applying to St John's for Oriental Studies too (but Japanese)

Does anybody know whether handing out offers fairly quick (like Warwick does - or a bit slower) is commonplace?

Anyone applying for English?

Does this age limit also apply to other courses?
I will be 17 when I start studying (I turn 18 in the following January so I thought it would not be such a big deal)
I am applying for PPE and I am also an international student.

Does anybody know whether handing out offers fairly quick (like Warwick does - or a bit slower) is commonplace?

Everyone gets a minimum of 2 interviews - one with college tutors and one with course tutors (I THINK that's correct, please correct me if that's not totally right!) but it's common for people to get extra interviews at other colleges if they feel you are Oxford material but would better suit a different college.
From what I heard on the Open Day, mostly everyone over 21 gets an interview at HM because they specialise in mature students and so have particular facilities specific and appropriate to their needs that the other colleges might not.

@BrasenoseAdm can probably correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm FAIRLY sure of this.

Candidates invited to interview can expect to be interviewed at least twice. These interviews may both be in the same college or they may be in two different colleges depending on the course applied for. Applicants for joint degrees tend to have more interviews than those applying for single subjects.

If you make an Open Application and are aged 21 or over (and are a mature applicant), it is very likely you will be allocated to Harris Manchester because Harris specialises in mature students. If you are aged 21 or over and make a direct application to any other college, we think that the usual reallocation mechanisms apply and that age is not a factor.

There we go! Thank you very much for that!

Hey! God willing I'll see you at interview then!
What A-levels or equiv are you doing?

If you're taking 6 subjects to A2, will Oxford likely to give a 6A level offer?
