And just cause I'm really annoyed, I've decided to post MY response twice...

Wow--you must REALLY be starved for attention. Not only are you writing in capitals (very distasteful), you've posted this message in like 3 different places. Obviously you've got a lot of time on your hands coupled with some high anxiety. I suggest a workout--that way, you get into shape, don't offend anyone, and we don't waste our time reading your rude posts. Just a thought.

Some of the most successful people I know here, both academically and elsewhere, got rejected the 1st time and accepted the year later.

Seriously, I think you may have some kind of issues. ALSO YOU DONT SEEM BRIGHT ENOUGH TO BE AT OXFORD!!.... Tutors make mistakes, they too are human. Besides in a year a person can considerably improve their chances of acceptance by a. reading around their subject, b. gaining the experiences often lacked by people who choose not to take a year out (although this isn't always the case) and c. just by improving their confidence.

IF YOU ARE SUGGESTING..... (I'll stop that, annoying isn't it) that a character's ability to perform at Oxbridge can be evaluated in two or three short interviews you are even less intelligent than you appear to be.

Why shouldn't someone get a second chance?? if someone really wants to go to oxford, they won't give up after one try. competition is always healthy, the only reason why some people are against re applying is because they can't handle it!simple! i say give it your best shot and ignore those who hate-and also, humans are not wheat and chaffs etc, thats just an obsession.

Shame a typing exam and basic courtesy test aren't included in the interviews. Maybe the EXCELLENT people who get in the second time round would get the first time round due to the spaces being made when all incoherent, incompetent twits that can't find the caps lock button more than once are chucked out.

I still insist that being able to turn the caps lock key off is a pretty decent measure of intelligence (if not common sense)
Sounds like his family brain cell is gathering dust in a pawn shop in Dunstable.

Well what a naïve little child you really are and I very much doubt that you are ‘IN’ Oxford as you so eloquently put it. Your grammar is awful and shows no reflection of an intelligent person. Also you know what? No one can look from you point of view or opinion because none of us can get our heads that far up our arse’s


You really need to get a life if all you can think of on a Saturday afternoon is to come and post derogatory messages about others

Rubbish. We all know someone who reapplied who went on to do really well. Tutors make mistakes, students have off-days, and gap years can allow people to mature academically. It seems you are a little to keen to excersise superiority over those who didn't make it first time round. Feeling a tad insecure perchance?
I think if people have their heart set on it and really have a chance, then by all means reapply, I wish them luck.
Personally however, if I was rejected I wouldn't reapply the next year. I wouldn't want to postpone everything for a year. There are plenty of other ood universities with excellent courses in the subject that I want to do, so provided I got accepted somewhere decent, I would just forget about Oxbridge.
