Hey, is anyone applying for Theology (I've applied to St Andrews, Edinburgh, Bristol, Durham and Cambridge) but haven't come across anyone else yet :frown:

Oh cool! I haven't been able to find anyone else applying! Have you heard back from Oxford about an interview or got anything from your other choices?

Same its incredibly hard to find anything out about the subject and whose applying.
So far I've had:
Bristol AAB
St Andrews ABB
Exeter AAB (or ABB if made firm)

Haven't heard from Durham (notoriously known for taking ages to respond ahah) and Oxford (which is expected).
Still so nervous and anxious that I keep checking my emails everyday!! Hope you've received some back too :smile:

Aha I was really shocked too! But I'm still not convinced to go, I live so much closer to Bristol (under an hour!) compared to St Andrews. Plus St Andrews focuses really only on Xianity and Judaism - think I want my degree to be a bit more diverse than that? What are you thinking?
What’s up! I’m sending off my application this week (hella late, I know) but applying to Durham (first choice), Exeter, St. Andrews, Bristol and KCL for Theology and Religion at all! Hoping to do a year abroad too x

Hi! Sounds cool. I was considering that but I think Law might be my final destination so a year out would make it even longer. We all have similar choices though.

Oh you’re planning on doing a conversion course? That’s pretty cool. What college are you applying to?

To be honest I had absolutely no clue about Durham colleges so I just selected the Castle 😂. Kind of regret that because apparently it's really 'posh' but they'll probably move me into a different one anyway. And yes such joys of applying to a niche subject!

Exactly the same for me - I'm planning on a law conversion so a gap year isn't an option unfortunately !

Is your interview on the 10th too? I'm concerned that I haven't heard from Durham yet as I have seen a few Theology applicants who have been given one :frown:
