Yep and also financial advice. I think you will also get quite a thick letter if you're in the pool (that's what happened to my brother last year anyway).


Going in the pool is awful; I just want the whole thing to be drawn to a close by tomorrow :smile:

No1 else from my school is going 4 cambridge (I was the only 1 who resisted being pushed 2 oxford) so its nice 2 find out what people in the same situation as me r thinking.

I've tried to convince myself I'm gonna get rejected and that I don't care.... But its not working.

Are they definitely being posted today? I want my letter

What have you applied for/where to?

Don't worry too much, if it's any consolation nothing can be changed now the decision was made ages ago...

I live in south west london too, Hammersmith to be exact, what about you? :biggrin:
I'm applying for Law at Magdalene
The other oxbridge candidates were pushed towards oxford because we have some links with some of the colleges. It was the only one of the two we took a trip to! My school also told me not to apply for my subject - as its competitive. My headmaster said I should apply for Physics at St Catherine's Oxford (I don't even do Physics A2). It's nice to know your school's behind you!

true - imagine if you've got all excited because you want to find out tomorrow, you rush to the door when you hear the postman/woman/person, only to be told you have to wait EVEN LONGER!! :frown: I'm really hoping I don't get pooled!

Can't believe your school behaved in such a manner! Tut tut to them.

Yeah, they told me to plan a gap year as I probably wouldn't get any offers. I've got two, but haven't told them yet.

I'd really like to get in to prove to my school that you can get in to study law at a good uni!
Will simply die if the letter is not here TOMORROW!!!

Yes, some of these school are really crazy...they just want to maintain there oxbridge success rep, and the students' thoughts and aims are not considered! I'd prefer a school who didnt hav e any students going to oxbridge, rather than one who pushes you .....

My college was a bit pissed off that i applied cos that meant a little extra work for them!

Seems they were more interested in getting as many students into Oxbridge as possibly, by hook or by crook.

Yep, only Durham and Cambridge haven't replied yet. Durham doesn't get very many Theology applicants anyway, so I wonder what's taking so long. My second choice is Edinburgh though.

it was my 2nd choice afta cam but they put in in st cuthburts so mayb not nemore!
