Hey guys! Anyone know whether if you get re-allocated, do you receive an email from the college you originally applied to telling you that you've been re-allocated or from the one you were re-allocated to?? Congrats to anyone who has had an invitation!!🎉

Received an email today saying I'd been invited to an interview at Hertford for Geography (originally applied to Brasenose). A lot of people I know found out whether they had/hadn't received an interview today, so if you haven't heard anything yet, you should do soon.

You receive a reply from the college you were allocated to (happened to me)

Lols, just called them, never been spoken to over the phone so rudely hahaha

The main reason why I didn't choose Christ Church, besides its huuuge size that I didn't like, is that when I went there on the open days the porters and the librarians were very rude to me :colone:

Might have just been bad timing though, or so I hope for all the future students there!

Thank you! A bit worried though, as I haven't been emailed about if I've got an interview or not! :frown:

I'm sure you'll hear from them (or another college if you're re-allocated) tomorrow! :smile:

They are probably just a bit busy and won't be able to follow the time table exactly

Oh right we applied to completely different ones! I did Manchester, Bristol, Exeter and UEA. Where are you from? Because I live in London so I didn't want to apply to like goldsmiths, UCL, kcl or Soas, which is annoying because I really liked all their courses.

nice!!!! my best friends have applies to manchester and exeter as well and they said it was rlly nice plus, a lot cheaper than say london or wherever so going out will be fun

im from cambridge actually so i wanted to apply somewhere quite different (so it makes zero sense for me to have applied to oxford lol) - but yeah the courses look really good like especially at goldsmiths i applied for english and american literature and i would probably be just as happy to go there as to go to oxford tbh - have you had any offers yet?

This is a bit off-topic, but does anyone know if Oxford gives out offers different than the typical offers on their website, or do they give out higher offers?

A typical offer is what most people will get, but they might give higher or lower offers based on the applicant. I think Oxford rarely makes offers higher than the typical offer unless they think that you might struggle a bit to keep up so they want you to have a better foundation and thus need higher A-level grades

Not entirely related, but Cambridge has given offers of A1, A1, A2 to people from my school (basically A*A*A) who did 3 Advanced Highers, but people who did 4 Advanced Highers received offers of A1, A1, A1, A2 (A*A*A*A) on all 4 subjects instead of just the 3 in the typical offer.

Oh that's so nice! That's good, yeah I really like Bristol and Manchester I feel like I would be just as happy there, I'm not sure if Oxford is even really my scene because I quite like big city unis. Yeah I had offers from the other four so if I don't get into Oxford it's okay :smile:
