Rejection from Brasenose for History, received the letter this evening. Really gutted, trying to reassure people that I'm okay but honestly I'm really not. Just feel like a huge disappointment, and feel like I've let everyone down who had their hopes up for me. Feel like I've let myself down too, because I really thought I could do it. Now praying for an offer from St Andrews and hopefully everything will be alright in the end.

Congratulations to everyone who got offers! Have strangely enjoyed this really stressful journey.

Because most of the top posters got rejected yesterday, and we generally don't talk as much

I see. It feels like ghost town in the Oxford section. They also have a lot more college representatives on here compared to Oxford's only Brasenose.

Not really sure, but I don't know anyone else that would have to sit 18 exams :rip:. I think I have to since the school is paying for us students to sit exams and bad attendance probably doesn't look good.

I'd probably just draw stick figures on each page and try to create a story all the way through with drawings. :laugh:

But at the same time, the workload could prep me for Oxford's barrage of work. :dumbells:
:rofl: Especially in AFM and FM, that will be an interesting exam paper to read :biggrin:

Very true! :tongue:
