Oxford Applicants for 2012 Entry

I just realized I have a York pen from last year's uni fair... though I ended up not applying there! :tongue:

I don't have anything besides prospectuses from the unis I applied to... *grumble grumble*

I have... (quantity in brackets):

Oxford 2012 (2)
Oxford TSA brochure, psychology brochure, etc. (1 ea.)
UCL undergraduate 2011 (3)
UCL postgraduate 2011 (1)
UCL 2012 (1)
RHUL 2012 (1)
Bristol 2011 (1)
Bristol 2012 (1)

These are just the ones I applied to (Exeter 0, hahahahahaha); too lazy to count the others. Yes I have a lot of UCL prospectuses... I have one from a uni fair, one that I got in the post, one (post- and undergrad) from UCL itself, and the 2012 one from the recent uni fair.

And I have two from Oxford because I travelled all the way to get an actual prospectus, I didn't want to lose one. :tongue:

ETA: Wooooowwww... looking over this, I seem utterly mad.

I am probably just being extremely melodramatic but all this waiting is making me start to over-think things like was my personal statement good enough or I've probably done terribly on the LNAT etc... and I am really beginning to doubt if I am good enough for Oxford. And everyone on here and on the fb group seems super smart and I just feel inadequate in comparison.

woe is me~

hahaha :frown:

TREES. ARE. DYING. BECAUSE. OF. YOU!

ITS ALL YOUR (mostly you Rhys) FAULT!!!

hahaha :smile:

I'm joking ofc, I'm also to blame too :frown:

But why do you have the postgrad ones! and UCL x 3!! Extreeeeme, don't you have to pay for postage if it's outside the UK o_O
Yknow it's all online! :tongue:

I do wonder what universites do with leftover stock! I mean, they must over-print... right?

I don't know why I have the postgrad one... my parents picked up prospectuses from the UCL help centre (or whatever it's called) and they just picked up both for no reason... I was all: NOOO I ALREADY HAVE SO MANY. I don't have to pay for postage since UCL is the so-called 'international uni' and they send things for free around the world :biggrin:

I know it's all online... but I like flipping through paper copies :frown:

And they give the leftover stock away at uni fairs. :lol:

The RHUL woman gave me both 2011 and 2012 prospectuses, now that I think of it. She was trying to get rid of the extra 2011 ones. :tongue:

I LIKE KILLING TREES :colone:

Hahah i accidentally ordered it when i really wanted a normal one, but i ordered it like back in year 11 :tongue:

I've probably ordered a lot more, but these are the ones which are currently on top of my drawers. But, but, things are so much better in book form! :redface:

I have loads of prospectuses from last year when I didn't know which unis were that good... I have this SUPER THICK one from London met. -_- It's probably the weight of a small, hardcover novel and at least a centimetre or two thick... *facepalm*

That is true, I didn;t have the Bath one so I think I've downloaded it about 10 times (sorry laptop, forgive me < my computer has feelings too okay! Shh I'm not weird). And I'm so lazy that I use ctrl+F to find things on the online prospectus rather than skimming the paper copy.

ONLY :O top drawers? Oh gosh, wow it seems there are plenty who are guilty of prospectus overload!

BUT...but... Trees! Environment, pollution, deforestation! oxygen, ozone layer, waste of resources. and most of all those shadows in the trees will come out and eat us! (Okay if you don't watch Dr. Who you're not going to get that but I hope you do)

o_O I really need to stop watching DW and getting creeped out.

Awww i love it when we're all naive and think silly things.

Back in year 10 i decided that after GCSEs i was going to move away and go to Petroc College (near me) to do a 2-year CACHE in Childcare and then to Wakefield College Sixth Form to do my A-levels (because i'd assumed that only this one college that i'd found online had a range of more than 10 different A-levels). And then go to Plymouth Uni to do a degree in Childhood Studies and then to Oxford Uni to do a degree in Psychology and then go to UWE to do the EYPS Programme (to qualify me to run a nursery) and then to some other uni to do a doctorate in Clinical Psychology.

I had some strange ambitions :rolleyes:

Everyone loves prospectuses! :biggrin:

And oh don't be ridiculous, of course you're weird, we all are!

Oh i don't care much for the environment. As long as all the cute animals like penguins and albino dolphins and platypuses still exist then i'm good with it. I'd actually be happy for spiders to just disappear from England! And oh yes, i LOVE Doctor Who.

hahaha :frown:

Don't freak out, everyone who has similar GCSEs to me on the stalker page has the words "migating circumstances" or whatever written next to it, as if 5/6A*s isn't good enough :s-smilie:

I mean, is "mitigating circumstances" really a factor when you still got 6A*s+ 6As at GCSE? Surely the difference between a few A*s comes down to the exam on the day and that examiner etc...I don't know.

You can trace the state of my mental health by reading through my posts on this thread :tongue:

a few days ago I was ready to give up completely, but despite the fact that my GCSEs seem below everyone else's, and apparently the average no. of A-levels seems to be about 5, but now I feel weirdly determined, like I have nothing to lose, I've already applied & I have 4 other choices :smile:

best thing to do now is try my best and then wait! At least I'll never regret not applying when I had the chance! I'm sure you will be fine :biggrin:

P.S, a chemistry teacher at my school went to Oxford, apparently most of the people bigging (?) themselves up before/at the interview stage didn't even get in....and I'd ignore the people writing comments such as "best in the world" etc. after their grades :rolleyes:

Okay you're obviously a more dedicated fan than me seeing as your remember the name. All I remember was that it was called Silence in the Library xD

Am I the only who is HATING this season, it's getting so boring :frown:

I miss Tennant, although I do LOVE amy and Rory! They so cute ^^

The Silence o_O

Edit: okay! What's the big idea? How do I make a photo appear? *doh!*
