"You could have all you ever wanted..... No! I can't want ittttt anymoreeee" :tongue:

Yas do it

I actually only like a few songs from Wicked :tongue:

Funny Girl, now that's where you get good songs for this situation

"Don't tell me not to live,
Just sit and putter,
Life's candy and the sun's
A ball of butter.
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade." :tongue:

Thick envelope = acceptance, right?

@jneill, Last year I got a really thick envelope with lots of pages that I have to fill in. Should I assume thick = acceptance? What about the converse?

What stuff did you need to fill in?

Maybe you could also ask for the initial college and the subject. Would be interesting to see TSR ratios according to colleges and subjects, I think :wink:

Thank you by the way, I'll fill it :tongue:

I'll already got that data from the post-interview survey :smile:

Don't remember all of them (luckily, I'd probably die from embarrassment...) but:
Interviewer said the interview would be 20 minutes, and 5 minutes/question, and that I'd have to stop writing.
Conversation went something along the lines of:
'I presume you'll wrench the pen out of my hand when it's up?'
'No, but we'll probably force you to stop and make you leave'
'Ahh, drag me out by the collar and kick me out, I see. [Insert witty joke about supervisions here that I don't remember]'

They laughed, though if that was a pity laugh, I don't know...

what subject were you applying for??

It's making me glad about my college choice, actually - the college I ended up applying to has a much higher admissions rate for my subject than the college I wanted to go for. Of course, they're still both quite low...

I think I read somewhere that they'll be the same size this year. All the additional forms etc. will be sent via a different letter at a later date.

Hey guys,
I'm a German of Korean descent applying to read Law at St John's. I've been roughly following the posts here and wish everyone a peaceful (haha) D-Day tomorrow. I wanted to post one thing before the storm hits tomorrow. To be honest, my chances are slim and I did do the one or the other mistake at the interview, and the only reason why I'm not awaiting a rejection 100% is because hope always dies last. However, the only reason I am at peace is because I know that God is with me during every moment and that if I get rejected, there is another way that He is going to lead me through. I hope that everyone can make the best of their outcomes! (My friend said that she will bake me a cake for tomorrow and bring a large blanket I can cry in, hahaha.^^)

May the Lord bless all your lives <3
Gwen.
