Oxford Applicants 2016 Entry & Interview chat

So does everyone get a rejection or interview invitation on the same day?

just received my unconditional offer from oxford to study computer science so happy

I've applied for Law at Brasenose too! :-)

Anybody else for Law at Brasenose? I need some kind of reassurance that my below-par grades may not be instant-rejection material :s

Has anyone applied to Balliol?

I am feeling exactly the same way...

Good luck! What did you get at gcse/as, if you dont mind me asking? (unless ive already asked you this? lmao i feel like ive asked everyone on tsr their grades haha)

No it's fine! GCSEs were not impressive really. 1A*, 7 As 2Bs and a C
I got A*A*A* A at A level and A* in EPQ.

I got rejected from Oxford when I applied first time, but I thought now I've got my grades I may as well give it another go, nothing to lose!

Yourself?

Yourself?

That's amazing! Wow! Nowhere near yours I'm afraid
5 A*, 5 A and 2 B at gcse, AABB at AS, predicted A*AA (and I think an A* in the EPQ, but I'm not sure) . My gcses and AS are pretty far below their average, so im not holding out much hope, even for an interview. You look like you stand a great chance this year with those grades! Good luck!

Honestly, you never know! Your GSCEs are strong compared to mine! And if your predicted grades meet the entry then you can't presume they won't consider you!

What AS/A level subjects do you do?

& thank you, best of luck to you too!!

I got exactly the same at GCSE! Except I don't have my French Bac grades yet... Did you take a gap year before re-applying?

I took English Lit, Psychology, Art and Biology (random combo, I know), and dropped bio at A2. They're weird subjects for Law, which I'm worried about :/ If I could go back in time I'd def swap art and bio for law and classics or politics or something :/

From looking at previous stalking pages, Oxford law candidates have a really varied subject base so I wouldn't worry. I've read on most pages that many unis don't really like you picking Law for A-level anyway!

Where else you applied?

Yeah, I heard that somewhere too! I applied to KCL, Exeter, Kent (offer AAB) and Reading (offer AAA)
You?

Basically I was in hospital during my A2s, so couldn't take them. So I did my A2 exams the year after I should have & taught from home. So I reapplied after results day in Aug. I'm on a gap year now as I've reapplied - partly to work and partly due to same health problem.

Where/what you applying for?

Corpus Christi for Classics II, what about you?

Sounds great!

I've applied Kings, I've seen quite a few people with offers from there now though so I'm bit worried ha!, UCL, LSE and Uni of Birmingham (unconditional)

Which one are you thinking if not Oxford?
