Oxford Pathways Applicants 2017

That's great! I'm excited but I don't know how I'm going to get there on my own tbh.

Same. Sucks being so far away. Hoping they'll be able to pay for my train ticket. It's a good 4-7 hours though depending on the route.

Wow It's like 2 hours for me and I thought that was a lot. Are you getting accommodation because it sounds like you need it lol.

I didn't get in to computer science/maths but got put on a waiting list for both subjects I do live 20 mins away though, could this be the reason why? Got 8A*/4A GCSE

They don't really give priority to those who live further away when it comes to choosing who gets to attend. It's more about your background, your school and how well-off your area is. Distance from Oxford only matters when they're deciding whether or not to provide overnight accommodation.

I hope you get in from the wait list. Definitely not due to your distance though. You got better GCSE grades than I did so I wouldn't think it it's that. They might have just been very competitive subjects this year.

Didn't get in for maths - blaming my nice area! (7A* 5A predicted A*A*A*A)

Did you get into the waiting list? I applied for maths/comp sci as well and live in a nice area so rip Relatively same GCSE's as well and predictions

Yess I did! Hopefully will still get on though I think unlikely? It's so frustrating living somewhere deemed too privileged for outreach programs yet not going to a posh enough school to get the links they have!

Yeah I totally understand you, same position as you. Have you applied to UNIQ as well for maths?
