Actually, my alternate is at Christ Church, and starts exactly 70 minutes after my St. John's interview does. Anyone else have such a close spacing? :woo:


Yup, exactly 70 minutes for me. First choice is Balliol, alternate is Hertford. Balliol interview starts at 2:00pm and the Hertford one at 3:10pm.

Got an invitation for EEM interviews at St. Catz and St. Anne's

I am really nervous now, I will get 4 interviewers for 1 St. Catz interview. Not only that I will get engineering and economics at the same time and I have to make sure that I don't stray off to economics too much or else it defeats the purpose for applying to this course and will reduce my chance. Anyone else doing EEM?

I did not do any preparation recently due to various courseworks. Although I happen to get a maths coursework, which is basically an engineering design for a freight elevator...very convenient.

No, no and thrice no! If you read that link again carefully you'll see that they hope to send notifications out a week before (at the top of the page). You get your time with your invitation. There is no firm deadline for them and no guarantee they will meet their own aspirations, and no account taken of delays in the post. In fact, dispatch on 7 December would allow for delivery on or before 10 December in normal circumstances.

Of course, many colleges will be ahead of this timescale but don't expect them all to be.


Just gave them a call and they said the letters will be going out this weekend, so ARGHHHHHH another 3 days min wait

Which is exactly what they said would be the case on the website, so no surprises there.

IB Maths Type II Coursework? Mathematical modelling :rolleyes:

I'm guessing you're an IB student. We're doing our second coursework after the mocks...

Good luck!

Wow you guys make me feel nervous :s-smilie: I live like half way across the globe and I still haven't applied for visa b/c I still don't have an invitation. Frustrating. I'd love it if I ended up calling them saying I wouldn't be able to come because there were no more flights available or something like that (Christmas fever starts here in like a week)
I applied last year and was inevitably rejected. :p:

If I may say so, that is very remiss of you. I'd be surprised if you now had time to get one; they usually take several days to organise.

True. But the thing is chances are I might not travel to the UK at all for university and why would I apply for a visa that would just be lying around? If it were for the 'just incase' factor, maybe I should have done so earlier.

indeed

Maybe I can use it in the interview.

Still it may not help me with the fact that I will get 4 interviewers in one interview.

EEM at new college and st. hugh's. Did you already receive more details regarding the interviews? I just got the times so far.
I'm on a gap year and just racing through Walter Lewin's MIT physics lectures at the moment..and i guess my calculus will also need some brushing up.
engineering design for a freight elevator wow the IB just sounds so much more interesting than my german maths classes
