Did all those who were advised by email also receive a letter?
Wanted a letter for posterity but still waiting. (Asking for my son - he's not bothered but I am!)

I have received one, I believe everyone does. Mine arrived on Friday and I live in Romania, if that helps.

If you were given an offer by a college other than the one you primarily interviewed at then they may have a day for you to look around (varies by college), but otherwise almost certainly not.

If there's no specific offer holder events, there's nothing to stop you from going along to the next University-wide Open Days - details here.

You could also ring the college Porters, and ask them if you could have a personal tour. Thirdly, there is an annual alumnus weekend at Oxford, where many departments put on special lectures and research presentations. I think it is 15-17 September this year. Alumni are invited, and can take guests, so if you know an alumnus....

Subject: Physics

College: St Hilda's

Outcome: Conditional Offer (9 out of 10 at Romanian Baccalaureate)

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

How do you feel?: I am still trying to digest this thing, I was extremely excited for the first 3-4 hours. I was expecting this offer since I did almost perfect regarding the PAT and the interviews. Also, I was hoping to get an offer from my second college (St John's), but that was statiscally very improbable. What I can say more is that I can't wait to learn all those things, get in touch with the professors and tutors and the other passionate physics (and not only) students. If there is anyone who also got into St Hilda's for Physics or any other college, I would be pleased to have a conversation about this whole process.
