I'n in a similar situatuon to you, you can hear part of my story if you just scroll a few pages back.

Unfortunatetuly all we can hope is to get some feedback that may or may not me useful. Let me know if you find somewhere you can submit appsals to, might be worth a shot!

What other unis thid you apply yo?

Hi, thanks for the nice words.
I have applied to 3 others;
King's College, London
Uni of Exeter
New Castle University

Awaiting the results.
Do you know whether we needed to have submitted the letters from Care Home or the Doctors we worked with? there was no such field in the UCAS application

My application was rejected.
I think I have very good credentials, with academic, BMAT performance scores. Done interviews also well.

Hence wondering if I could request for reviewing the decision.

Is there no such review/appeal process?

If you think the interview went well then it didn't

Outcome: Conditional Offer IB 39 points with a 7 6 6 in Higher Level subjects

How did you find out? (Email/Letter/Owl): Email

How do you feel?: Very surprised and happy with the offer. Did not think my interview was that great.

Does anyone know if there is a chat group for e&m offer holders or those from Keble college?

Congratulations! I'm not aware of a group chat, but I'm an offer holder in History and Politics at Keble, so we might well be seeing each other this October.

How do you feel?: I used to feel like trash. Now I feel like Oxford trash.

Congrats on the offer!
We must have been at Christ Church at the same time for interviews.
Do you know who else got an offer?

Hi, Congrats.

So did you apply after A levels? which means you are in a gap year after A2 results.
I am wondering whether to take a gap year, that is why I ask, sorry mate.

Would not that be a loss of one year in studies

Yes I'm applying after A2 but I did A levels a year early so it's not really a gap year - I didn't want to go to uni at 17.
I would definitely recommend a gap year though, because you'll have a better idea of which unis you can get in to and any offers you get should be unconditional.

TheologEllie

Subject: Theology and Religion
College: Regent's Park College PPH
Outcome: AAA offer
How did you find out? (Email/Letter/Owl): letter at 12:00pm on January 11th
How do you feel?: SO excited but terrified I won't get the grades, I am so desperate to get in because Regent's is my dream college.

I had two interviews at Regent's, two at Worcester ( Theology department policy everyone gets interviewed at 2 colleges) and the ones at Worcester were better - so I expected they passed on feedback to Regent's.

Subject: French and German
College: Worcester
Outcome: Offer AAA
How did you find out: Letter
How do you feel?: At first I scanned the letter for words like "unfortunately" and "sadly" and was pleasantly surprised when I actually saw "pleased to...". The giddiness from yesterday has morphed into slight pressure bc I can't miss this offer! But I'm a happy bunny nonetheless. Hope we all ace our exams this year ☺

Subject: Materials Science
College: St Edmund Hall
Outcome: Acceptance!
How did you find out? (Email/Letter/Owl): Email, but would have preferred the owl
How do you feel?: Didn't quite believe it at first, it still feels quite surreal.

I have one question (as I am living in Asia); English could be considered my first language, and the admissions office has requested me to show evidence of English proficiency by July. I have completed my IELTS and i would like to know how do i send my results to them. By directly emailing to them, or is there another way?
