Haha man I don't think so!I'd love to but we are in the real world :biggrin:

Anyway,consider that in these 8 months I had also to cope with school,extracurriculars,IELTS,UKCAT and everything possible in life so try to imagine what I look like at the moment :coma:

That's true! :redface:

I'm sure it'll all be worth it in the end; I bet you can't wait until the summer holidays for a dose of rest and relaxation hahaha.

Absolutely!I've already started planning my 'what to do' list (hoping for the best!) :tongue:

Anyway,since I'm an italian applicant I think that in the case I do not get offers from UK universities I have to spend the whole summer not only preparing for the final examination but also studying for another admission test used in Italy to access medical schools :s-smilie:

Yes,that would be awful especially for my mental health!

Maaaaan I thought I was the only one ! :biggrin:

I applied to read English and French. I have two tests (ELAT and MLAT) on the 4th and I have to write two essays while handling a gigantic amount of school work (not even lying, usually I don't complain but this year's is phenomenal). Oh well. I'm still happy I applied otherwise I would be stuffing my face with chocolate cake regretting it :' :wink:

What about you ?

Hahaha, good luck !!

I've literally told all my teachers in the past 2 weeks before half term that any homework was catagorically not going to be done until after Nov 4th.... so once all this test malarky is over I've got about 15 pieces of homework due in :frown:

Noooooo, competition!!! I joke, yeah I've applied to St Anne's for CS. Glad to see another applicant, I thought I was the only one haha.

They're not too bad tbh, my scores have fluctuated between 68%-85% so far, I'm not sure how that stacks up with others. Definitely enjoy questions 1, 2, 5 and 7 - hate question 6s with a burning passion. You?

what kind of scores in the PAT should engineering applicants be looking for? (we're not shortlisted by the PAT score, i believe, but it's still an important part of the overall application profile).

i did the 2006 and 2007 paper today and got 56 and 54% respectively!!! (the cut off points were 45ish for both papers but still, it's really not the kind of mark i want to be getting). should i be worried? (this is prior to any revision of the content but it doesn't bode well)

I would suggest you do not worry too much about which college you apply to, but submit a so-called "open application". As the open application means you are allocated to one of the under-subscribed colleges for your subject, you by definition may have a slightly higher chance of admission to Oxford or Cambridge.

Although the universities claim that you have equal chances, no matter which college you apply to, de facto the chances of admission are slightly better when you let the university allocate you to a college with less competition.

I don't think so. With open applications they will fill up the difference between the under and oversubscribed colleges, I think.
