Same, lets just say circles really aren't my strong point and I keep on getting a lot of hard questions on them!

Do you have any idea when the emails for interviews will be sent out?

I think this week since interviews start in 2 weeks or so... :s-smilie:

Hopefully, with each day I get more nervous as I still haven't heard from them! Do you think you have a good chance? From what Ive heard you get a question for each of Organic, Physical and Inorganic and work through them for the interview. I'm a bit nervous about Physical as I don't take Physics A2 so that might put me at a disadvantage.

I knew I'd get an interview since they interview most applicants but in terms of good chance? Probably not haha, most people have same or better stats than me (such as you) and interviews are tough.. And I'm same as you, physical is probably hardest branch for me.

Could an Oriel applicant perhaps tell me the title of the invitation/rejection mail they received? I'm wondering whether or not I should turn off notifications on my mail-app :smile:

Yeah I do chem, maths and bio, I am slightly worried about not having physics but there's a reason why it's not a requirement, right? I know loads of people who've applied for chemistry and only one who has gotten an interview so far. They'll get round to us eventually!

Please don't get too excited about tomorrow... I'm not sure what these rumours about interviews being sent out tomorrow are based on but needless to say, many subjects and colleges will not be sending out interviews tomorrow so if you do not get an email, please do not panic. It just hasn't been sent yet.

Anybody claiming to know when interviews are being sent out is probably spreading inaccurate information.

Um, one of the admission tutors say that they finished their shortlisting by monday. he is also the person who sets the interview threshold for his subject and requires tutors who admit applicants under that threshold to explain their reasoning to him and for him to agree to such arrangements. he has a profile on tsr where he answer question.

Could you give me a quote where they say all applicants should expect a notification tomorrow? I'd be extremely surprised if that were the case (I don't know how a single admissions tutor would know that, anyway, since interviews are sent out by colleges and departments, not via a centralised body).

Haha. No offence but I'm calling bull**** on this. How could medicine admission tutors (as an example) possibly start sending out interviews without having our BMAT results? We get our BMAT results on Wednesday, so that's a no for medicine.

Like Plagiocase said, it's highly unlikely that all interviews will be sent out tomorrow. So just a word of warning guys, take all these rumours from people who have "spoken to" admissions tutors with a truckload of salt :lol:

How could any admissions tutor know about the day for every single course?? What subject is he even a tutor for (so people could know which courses to expect a notice from)?

I'm really tired, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think foreignstudent32 is talking specifically about one subject at a particular college?

I never said all subjects I replied to someone who was taking MAT and that is the the admission tutor said that he asked all colleges if possible shortlist by monday.

You just assumed blindly that it was for all subjects without any context.

"Probably Monday. I have heard that some department heads asked their tutors to finish shortlisting by Monday." - what I wrote a few post back.

Note the word "some"
