Hey ive applied to queens for history and politics and i got my interview invite..im from Greece so i suppose thats as southern as it gets in europe :biggrin:
chehuen
it just seems that few peoples are applying Queen's college..... so just wanna ask if anyone recieves an invitation from Queen's college....
it was said that queen's is full of Northerners, would that be a disadvantage for Southerners??

It's not full of northeners. There may be a few more than at most, but not too many.

Queen's is rarely mentioned on this board by applicants it seems. Good luck in the interviews.

How did you get a 2nd and 3rd choice college. I just got called (Classics) to the one I wrote down. Have i missed something?!?!?!
With the more popular courses, ie classics, law and english, you tend to be called to one college, only being called to another college when you are there and even then that seems rare.

School got sent a letter listing all the Oxford cands. and for some colleges/courses people have a 2nd (and possibly 3rd) college down, which will interview you if the 1st choice college doesn't want you / quality control etc...
Don't some of the colleges get most of their applicants through redistribution of applicants from the more popular colleges?

Not sure about most - we have (as in my school) around 16 going down to Oxford for interview, and I would say that half of those have a 2nd college down, most of them a 3rd as well. Doesn't mean you will be interviewed by them, just that you may be......
