Geoscience & Geology 2016

Exxon are scum, burn the offices down whilst you're there

Still nothing from Oxford Definitely getting rejected now.

In the unlikely situation that you don't get an email by this Sunday, please send an email to the college you applied to (and the Earth Sciences department) because they are supposed to get back to you at least a week in advance. I do not think that rejections and invitations are sent out at different times so please don't try to infer anything from this... I hope you hear soon.

Thought it would come today as it's the last working day before the "1 week beforehand deadline", could they get back to me on the weekend?

I honestly don't know, have you received emails from the college you applied to before (like a confirmation that they've received your application)? Have you checked your spam folder? If you've already received correspondence from your college (i.e. they have the right email address) and you get nothing by Sunday, then either they're late (which is unlikely and extremely unimpressive) or something's gone wrong somewhere.

So hopefully, you'll get an email before Sunday. If you don't, send an email on Sunday afternoon (CC in a few people, I can give suggestions of who to include to make sure that someone gets your email) and hopefully it will be sorted. I wouldn't get too worried, the Earth Sciences department generally interviews everyone who looks like they've got a reasonable chance of getting an offer so assuming your grades are in line with the entry requirements, getting an interview invitation is quite likely.

Thank you! That was relatively reassuring.
Yeah I got a comfirmation email from Exeter. If nothing new turns up could I PM you on Sunday regarding emails?

Yes of course, I hope you get it soon

It just came, they really like to cut it close. Anyway thanks for your help man!

Hey guys, finally found the geology thread 😄.
So I've applied for the following, all Msci and a couple with the year abroad (A) :
•Exeter - Confirmation
•Imperial - interview in January
•Leeds (A) - Confirmation (which I found in my junk inbox :/)
•Southampton (A) - had the crappiest interview on Wednesday
•Leicester - Unconditional

Have many people heard back from Exeter and also how are everyone's interviews gone?

Has anyone got an offer from Leeds for the year in industry and how long did it take for you to hear back from them?

Did you have an interview for Leeds?

What happened at your Southampton interview?

thank you so much i was having a bit of a worry that reassures me

Yes I've got an offer!

It was just awful; I was the last of 3 people to be interviewed and those had overrun so the whole thing was rushed, the presentation i had prepared was not brought up at all, nothing from either my reference or PS was asked about, and then generally I was nervous which especially showed in the identifying minerals as I miserably failed on the first one and was then given a talk about its angles/planes/?

So overall, not the best first interview to have
