I just emailed Queen's which said that they haven't finished making the decisions yet :rolleyes:

Don't pester the college with emails, the tutors are already overburdened with other more important commitments at this time in term. It just makes you look self centered and demanding. Having said that, I have been taught by John Davis all term (one of the History tutors at Queens) and he is absolutely lovely. If you have an interview with him it should be a fun and intellectually stimulating experience! The best advice I can give to all of you is to treat the interview like a practice tutorial- so get clued up on what you want to talk about and be prepared to argue your case (without being dogmatic).

Same boat here with Jesus, although I swear there was one a few posts back.

Oh well, actually I do have an interview at Somerville (re-allocated from Brasenose) but I can't find anyone else who also has one... I'm wondering if Somerville has a rather small intake or something ... Oh and don't worry, I'm sure you'll get one! :h:

I've got one. Problem is that I'm the only one at Jesus who has gotten one as far as I know.

Oh totally misunderstood the essence of your first reply ... whoops :colondollar:

Well, TSR isn't really representative of the student intake as a whole so I'm sure some Somervillian and Jesus'ian historians will turn up ...

Not every single Oxford applicant uses TSR, you know... Just because you can't find someone from your college for your subject on here doesn't mean that they don't exist and you're the only person with an interview there.
