Hi! I'm in the same situation, I won't be able to get to Oxford for 10 am on the 9th, do colleges provide accommodation do you know or will you be staying in a hotel?

I was just thinking - do you reckon anyone has ever put Oxford as their insurance? Can you imagine?!

I know that some people reject their offer - I imagine some people would put it as their insurance, although since the grades needed for Oxford tend to be pretty high, I don't imagine that there are many other possible 'firm' choices with higher entry requirements...

You could contact your college and see what they say - they might be able to let you stay earlier, but since there are so many people staying it would be best to check, as they might not have room :wink:

Don't think this is true - you have to declare your AS results when applying. They are not part of their equations for first round sifting, but they can see them, and choose to look at them, i.e. interpret them and include them in decision making.

you don't have to declare your AS results! I didn't as my school recommended to us that we don't certificate our AS results since the system is changing. Of course if they ask I will tell them the truth (not that they were bad anyway) but it's definitely not the case for every applicant to have certificated AS results!

Just got a rejection letter from St Anne's for Law...I'm really confused by that since I was invited to interview for Law at St Hilda's last year (didn't get an offer bc I totally screwed up the interview), and I thought my application this year was a lot stronger. I'm really wondering now if they rejected me bc I wouldn't able to attend interviews in person this year.
