Oxford Engineering Students and Applicants

Yep I got an offer from Oriel on the 24th. The letter was dated the 21st December.

Congrats! I've got a friend who's a first year there and she absolutely loves it.

Well I go my rejection by post today. Can't say I'm suprised but I suppose you're always a bit disapointed when you get rejected...
Hopefully Imperial hurries up and makes the (right!! ) decision now!

Congrats for that, now i am still waiting for my post, i dunno if im ever gonna receive it

do anyone when are the admission officers gonna get back from holiday? i think i could just call them to ask, like i did for my interview invitation

I'm pretty sure it's fine for you to email them about it now. Someone in another thread did that and subsequently got his decision over email.

I didn't realise engineering was so competitive! have a look at this link

i would like to do engineering at oxford, but theres one module in further maths which is really getting me worked up about applying, and how to apply.
i got a D in D1, but acheived over 90 in all my other maths modules. i got high ums marks in my other subjects.
when applying, should i display all my ums marks on ucas? or only display my As marks, and thus not show my d, but also not be able to show my other good ucas marks.
thanks, please help!

Assuming your school doesn't cash in AS levels, don't declare any of your grades on UCAS (i.e. put them as pending) but get your reference writer to include a statement in your reference along the lines of "achieved over 90% in *however many* maths/further maths modules", making no mention of your D in D1. That said they wouldn't give a damn about D1 anyway, but would be much more interested in your scores in the proper modules.

The problem is solved for you because you cannot show any UMS marks on your UCAS application. You can, however, optionally show module grades.

are you sure about this? because friends who applied to uni last year told me there is an option to put in the ums marks.

thanks for your help.
should i just ask my school if they cash in the As levels? im not sure if it can actually work this way, as if i put pending on my As results, even though ive taken them (and they know that), how can they judge me? through the grades in the reference? couldnt i just put my grades in on the ucas, put the ums on my reference, and put pending on further maths (which includs the d1 mark, and i havent got a whole As in it anyway)?
again, thanks for your help
