Same! Although now I'm dreading the fact they are 'actively' looking at my application! Just waiting for me rejection letter 😂

Is there anyone else that hasn't had an email directly from their college? I'm applying to Worcester for medicine - I've had one from the uni and one from the medical sciences department, but everyone on here is saying they've had contact from the college as well? I'm sure it's fine, but I'm just curious!

I'm the same, at first I thought my college had emailed me but mine is from the Medical Sciences department too, not the college

I doubt you'll hear from a college until interview notifications go out at the end of November. Even then, there's a high chance the college you hear from won't be the one you applied to because of how the medicine interviews are organised.

Is anyone else freaking out about the HAT

Kind of....I was happy with my past papers but I'm a bit worried about must getting a ****ty question two and so I'm going over all my AS stuff. But don't know if I should go over absolutely everything, or just focus certain bits of each unit. Like any past paper I basically could have answered with collectivization or Attlee's labor......so don't know if I should I bother cramming all of post war British history.

I think knowing fairly short period inside out mean you can apply them to any question. But a tricky question could ruin that theory!

Ah did you apply for Oxford last year, or was it just a paper that you did? Also when you say 60 do you mean the TSA score conversion rather than 60%, right? I generally average around 65 TSA UMS, generally about 39/50
I have no idea if it's good enough though.

I'm doing the HAT too, doing Peter the Great and Westernisation and that seems to pretty much fit every question but god knows what we're going to get...write about the importance of food in a historical event lol
