Thanks for the update. I think the HAT has been discussed extensively here and over in another forum already?


We're working on removing those posts now. Sorry for messing you guys around, information is sort of trickling through!

Corpus Christi?
Very good choice!

I might be helping out with interviews, so hopefully I'll see you there!


I'm guessing you go to Corpus then? :p: I absolutely loved it when I visited, really stood out for me, if not just for the library!!

But I wouldn't hold out much hope though, I don't think I'll be getting in somehow :rolleyes:

Funnily enough, I didn't hold out much hope either.

It's strange how these things can work out.

Back yourself!

Anyone been invited for an interview yet? I get nervous every time I refresh my email, haha.

Nothing yet
So anyone at all getting interviews yet?
Surely can't be long now...
Someone on one of the Oxford FB pages (might have been UNIQ, can't remember) has an interview for Mansfield, eek!
I didn't get an interview. Just got a letter from the tutor for admissions :frown:
Out of my 11 friends who're applying for history at Ox, one has an interview from Pembroke, and another has an interview from Mansfield (even though she applied to Worcester). The other 9 haven;t heard anything.

Good luck to everyone!

That's quite reassuring to hear that people are still waiting for most colleges.

Are any of them applying to St Hughs? That's where I applied.

No- my hist teacher went to that college and is good friends with the tutors, so she doesn't really suggest that college to anyone in case people suspect favoritism/connections etc. She really liked the college though- sounds nice!

Very sensible probably. But yes it's lovely, the gardens are gorgeous which is a big draw for me plus Aung San Suu Kyi went there and she is one of my heroes :biggrin:
Hey!

Thought I'd start a thread on how everyone is preparing for their interviews!

How are you all preparing?
Also what college is your invite addressed?

Good luck and congratulations xxxxx
