How do you feel?:
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
- Smile, Nat King Cole

Good luck everybody and thank you all for having me!

NO Wolfmoon!! Was sure you were getting a place... you were too good for them 😉

Aww it's okay at least you had an interview! I was rejected from St Hilda's pre-interview but got all my other offers (applied to Biomed everywhere else), where else did you apply?

Thank you for your confidence in me, unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be.

There's always next year if you want to have another go. You might be able to defer/bank another offer somewhere else this year and give it another go next year, with a nice/useful gap year in between. Que sera, sera.

Subject: History of Art
College: Harris Manchester
Outcome: Offer on condition of Distinction on Access Course and A at A Level French

How do you feel: a bit sick!

That is true! Were you with the Russian tall guy by any chance? I dunno I found her a bit obnoxious and the American I was talking to apparently knew her and it wasn't her usual demeanour or something :/ Hahahaha my skills were awful so I didn't even attempt to embarrass myself My history ones felt good too but I felt they were too nice and didn't really challenge me. I got pooled and boy were those interviews harder!

Subject: Law
College: Balliol
Outcome: Offer (Unconditional)
How did you find out: Email @ 11am
How do you feel?:

Happy, but also weird. I'm dropping out of UCL since there's no point staying here, which feels strange because I had written myself off to be rejected. Also, all my friends are mad at me because I said I wouldn't leave them even if I got an offer. No clue what I'm gonna do with my life in the next 8 months since most of my friends from home are at uni in the UK or Netherlands...

TO ANY TRINITY APPLICANTS:

I emailed yesterday morning to ask about decisions and they said that they sent letters yesterday afternoon. My post has arrived and I haven't had a letter

Are there other people who haven't heard anything yet? I applied for English at Queens/ St Hughs and haven't heard a thing? I'm starting to worry...
