Interview from Somerville for English. Email came at 11:47 (I'd been refreshing my inbox every 4 minutes). Any other Somervillians out there? :smile:

Rejection from Magdalen for Experimental Psychology. Take all the remains of my pitiful luck, everyone who hasn't gotten a response yet!

Can we email the college asking for the reason we got rejected?

Aw, bad luck :frown: x

My friend got rejected today for English (and she has stupidly good grades; like 80% A* at GCSE and 4 As at AS??? :confused:) and we were talking to a teacher about this. He recommended we phone up the college, or, at the least, email them to ask for feedback on your application. Apparently a girl in our year who'd applied (I think for Psychology?) was rejected yesterday, and phoned up to ask for feedback, and got given a really helpful response. Not sure which college.

ps. What plans do you have now?


Second this, but phone them, don't email them since they pretty much don't reply until interviews are over, a couple of friends who were rejected emailed and didn't get a response, but then called up and got good feedback

Anyone heard anything from St.Anne's for PPE??


Yes, I heard on Wednesday that I had an interview. Was reallocated from another college.
I got an invitation for an interview today for Hertford for English on December the 6th, :smile: but the email says they may need me there until the 9th? Does anyone know what those extra days will involve? The email only says about two 20 minute interviews!

what college? also for maths i think i read somewhere that they only invite about 30% of applicants as they shortlist with the MAT and 60% is amazing considering the average this year was 43


You have to consider that there's a very high spread if you looked at the stats for previous years, and with this year being the hardest the spread could only be higher. Only 30%?!
As A Lady Margaret Hall E&M applicant I still received no sign of rejection or an interview invitation. Should I contact the Admissions Office? Or do you think they still have not reached the deadline for considering my application? As an EU applicant I am increasingly worried- I should probably arrange my flight for 9.11....

Got a rejection for French and Hebrew, though I can't say it wasn't anticipated after MLAT/Written work debacles. Naturally I'm disappointed, but I wish everyone else on here best of luck for your interviews etc.
You can do it guys! :biggrin:


How "bad" did you do at MLAT? I feel like I absolutely f_ked it up

ok I just looked it up and in 2014, 47% of applicants were shortlisted and in 2012 and 2013, it was 54% - I don't know where I thought I read 30%

Does anyone know if no reply after the one-week- before deadline equals a rejection...

If this helps at all, I've only found one person on here (incl. in the PAT threads) who has an invitation for Physics (which reassured me! I've applied to Brasenose and got nothing back - no news is good news, right? :wink:) I can't remember which college that was, but wasn't St. John's :smile:
It's one week to interviews and still no email... Is that a rejection?
