I am! Where are you from?


Really? Biology at CC? I'm from Dublin, Ireland! What about you? How are you feeling about these interviews? Are you on the Facebook group? Apologies for all the questions :smile: My biology teacher jumped with joy when I told her I had an interview!

I got so panicked that i just stopped checking cases and was unsure on quite a bit of the vocab and yeah i agree about the prose


Yep. I don't think the preparation helped a great deal. The first 15 minutes was definitely panicky and I think that stopped me from picking up the the complex grammar. Plus I did end up just guessing on some the vocab.

By the way, which college did you apply to?
Hi,
Does anyone know whether cambridge or oxford allow you to re apply next year?
Thanks
Any help will be appreciated!

They do.


Yay! If I dont get in this year I have a shot next year! Is there anything different about the admissions process if you have achieved A levels? Also do you know whether they mind you retaking modules?

The main difference with a post-A2 application is that if you get an offer, it will be unconditional. Other than that there's not a huge amount of difference as far as I'm aware. Obviously it's better if you don't retake modules but as long as you're only retaking a few modules (or you have extenuating circumstances), it should be fine. What's probably not fine is someone who has retaken loads of exams, without a good justification.

Does anyone know when Brasenose lawyers can expect a rejection/interview invitation? The waiting is horrible :-(
Did anybody not receive an email confirmation from the college after saying whether they wanted Skype or fly over to Oxford? I replied 2 days ago but I never received an email back from the college.

I got one from Balliol saying thank you for letting them know the same day. Might just vary from college to college.
@BrasenoseAdm Does all colleges confirm the applicant's email for preferred interview option or reply to the applicant's email?

Oh lol I'm also from Toronto. I'm actually applying for PPE (I meant I'm also international). Hopefully we'll see each other on the plane over for our interviews. :smile:
