Shouldn't the suspense have reduced you to a mental wreck by now? :biggrin:


I wasn't really expecting much of this revenge plan of yours... Consequently I am fully functioning, but thank you for your concern :smile:

Eh, that was only one hoped-for effect. Since it isn't happening, I'll have to consider moving up the timetable ... :biggrin:
@carpenoctem Click the link. I dare you.

That was the most hilarious thing I have seen all day (other than your attempt to seek revenge of course). Three reasons why I think that failed:

1) I listen to K-pop ergo I am immune to crazy J-pop
2) I have had the leekspin.com site open for 4 hours straight before
3) I am invincibile

Well, there goes my big guns ... do you have any idea how torturous it is? @Barbastelle had it stuck in her head for days. I've barely managed to watch that mesmerizing display of pink horror only a few times, and there are scars in my brain.

Time to come up with plan B ...

Just wondering why?


It's not set in stone, the thought just crossed my mind that it might be easier to apply to somewhere that hasn't previously rejected me.

I do still love Cambridge......

Is it frowned upon in the admissions process if you reapply while starting your first year in another uni as opposed to taking a gap year does anyone know?

Yes, if you are Attending a UK university, less so if you are at an overseas university.

Is it the same case for Oxford?

Oxford is more open to the idea. But a challenge remains, how do you get an excellent reference from your university despite only being there for a month.

Awe :frown: Does the reference have to be from the uni or could I not just get my old sixth form to write one?

Thank you so much for the replies btw!

Might be best to ask in The Other Place's forum :wink:
https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=14

But this is what the university itself says:
"If possible, your reference should come from one of the academic staff at your current university."

Yes you can get reference from your old sixth form but a reference from your university is preferred. Alternatively I think BrasenoseAdm answered this question in one of the threads earlier on.

If they had qualifying AS-levels with UMS then yes.

Or if they are post qualification with A*A*A* or IB 42 & 776.

Seriously?! Would it have said it on my rejection letter if I was pooled but wasn't fished out?
