I used a passport photo just because I had one lying around (but I only took a picture of the photo itself on my phone). It said any passport-style picture is fine, so maybe just as long as it clearly shows your face, and is relatively recent?


so should I tie my hair back? what if I take it with my iphone?
still waiting for physics rejection

Well, you can always transfer over to Cambridge easily if you don't like it at Oxford.
I dunno, I think Cambridge only poach from good Unis...

Oh, then recent photo is fine. I believe it is to identify you during interview.

No, you don't have to tie your hair back... as long as it's off your face?
Most important is that it's a clear photo with a subtle background... but it's just so they can identify you, so I'm sure it will be fine with your iPhone :smile:

Ah, another medic :smile:. Which college have you applied to?

Hopefully we'll hear on Wednesday 2nd December as the email told us, but I'm more nervous for BMAT in the short term!


Lady Maragaret Hall :h: How about you?

I've got interviews from my other three medical schools, so the wait for Oxford is doubly frustrating :lol: Where else have you applied?
Yeah, I'm trying not to think about the BMAT results D: How do you think yours went? :h:

oh, that's why. I thought it was to provide you with a card to get the free meals. Thanks
I'm sorry you made such poor life choices

A bad decision at 17 shouldn't condemn you to 3 years in a University like Oxford :console:

Thanks for coming.

That must mean Oxford do so from both London and Manchester Metropolitan. I've heard Bolton is pretty popular for them as well :wink:

LMH is really pretty! I chose Oriel in the end just because it was my favourite after visiting a couple of times.

I also applied to UCL, Imperial and King's (I'm doubting 3 BMAT was a good idea after the paper!). No interviews yet, most are waiting for BMAT and King's are being quite slow... How about you?

I seem to have gone oppositely to most of the cohort - I liked S1 and think I did ok, but I probably made a buggery of S2 (badly ran out of time, so guessed at least three and made two stupid errors which I am kicking myself about now) and the essay was quite good. I answered Q2, the Christopher Hitchens' quote on assertions and evidence. The title is a blur now. :biggrin:

How was your BMAT and what are your stats?

Past threads seem to suggest that anyone who had to take the TSA can probably expect an invite in the latter-half of next week (PPE applicant here). How did you think your TSA went? ( @nhabib3 )


EEEH I screwed up the essay! The first half I think i could score 60-65

Queen's for Oriental Studies! Where have you applied? What subject?


I nearly applied to Queen's for Oriental Studies but I changed my mind after I stayed there for a choral scholarship audition. Which language have you applied for? I've applied for Japanese at St John's.

Yes, I was going to apply to Caius, but changed my mind when I visited Oxford! You still applying for... NatSci I seem to remember? :smile:

Well done on your fantastic UMS btw, you didn't let the potato beat you! :biggrin:
