you'll receive offers in the post anyway.

.. but remember Lennon, this year they're trialling the new system whereby they post up interview offers on the UCAS track website, any time, night or day & you have 3 hours in which to accept your mission, otherwise it self combusts & bye bye to your chances.


































:evil: :wink:

elles, you should know by now that these applicants are far too paranoid to get a joke. The smilies at the bottom of the post aren't enough. Frankly these people will believe you if you told them that in the interview you will be judged on your ability to pronounce the interviewers name, or something equally ridiculous.

but the "any time, night or day & you have 3 hours in which to accept your mission, otherwise it self combusts & bye bye to your chances." - surely? :confused: i was thinking rather Bond-esque-hyper-absurd, no? :cool:

unless the first part of the para stunned cognitive ability so much.. hmm - is experimenting on pre-apps unethical? :wink:

apologies for any trauma i may have caused - consider this your debriefing (INTERVIEWS DO NOT COME UP ON TRACK - IN FACT OXFORD SEEM TO BE RATHER SLOW WITH THE WHOLE TRACK THING IN GENERAL), hence no residual feelings of humiliation etc. & remember as always, you are free to leave TSR/ignore my posts at any time. :p:

Oh dear lord :rofl:

People really didn't get that?

I think you need to get off TSR and get on the sodding temazepam if you're that nervy about it already :p:

I was actually directing the question to ryan750, but thanks for letting me know anyway. :wink: You should be more specific BTW with regards to the date of submission of your application.

You'll just see what stage your application is at with every university - at the moment it'll just say "pending" or something, then if they make you an offer (conditional or unconditional) it'll come up with that. When I had it they didn't put interview info on there, I don't think they do currently either.

It's of little use for Oxbridge applicants as both universities are notoriously slow at updating UCAS Track - some people had to wait a month after receiving their offer letter last year for it to update. Other universities will show your offer on Track before getting a letter from them.

Thanks I was just getting confused with the whole thing lol! In order for the tutors to judge whether or not to offer an interview and help with the application process, would I be right in thinking that you must submit any required written work before they contact you through UCAS?

I received my interview offer even before submitting my written work. In fact, I've had my interview already. Perhaps its because I'm an international student. I'm not too sure how it normally works. :wink:
