Oxford Applicants for 2012 Entry MKII

Original post by Jockie

I've applied to Wadham to read Law and received an e-mail from them saying my application is 'under active consideration' 2 days ago. I then had to confirm my e-mail address and details with them so they could keep in correspondence with me.

I have applied to St Anne's to read Law as well. Now, im worrying that people seem to get a confirmation and I still haven't

I would think it probably varies from college to college. When did you send yours off?

I was wondering about this as well, I still haven't heard anything (from New college, where I've applied for Biological Sciences) except for the generic initial acknowledgement when my UCAS was sent off. Is this end-of-October-email also going to be generic, or is it the start of interview ofers/being declined?

I've send my application the 12th October :frown:

I heard back from my college (St Hughs for History) almost exactly a month after my UCAS was sent at the end of September, I really wouldn't worry just yet!

It'll vary from College to College and I bet also between subjects within a college, all the departments will have a different way of working.

That's OK glad I could help :smile:

we're all in the same extremely stressful boat!

I've got my HAT test on Wednesday and I'm just :afraid:

even though I've done loads of practice.

When do you have the LNAT?

Good luck, im sure you will do brilliantly! :smile:

I've done my LNAT 18th October, it was the hardest test I have ever done, but you will be glad on Wednesday after the test! it is a relief :smile:

Aw thanks! Fingers crossed I get good questions!

How do you feel your LNAT went? I wonder why they do it so much earlier than the HAT? :confused:

Hi,

I am applying to St. Anne's at Oxford to read law. I got an email from Oxford saying that I should have more information from the college by the end of October. And still nothing... I'm getting paranoid. Anyone in similar or different situation?

i applied to do English at Oriel, and two days ago I got an email telling me my application had been received for consideration and that they would continue to communicate with me via my email. They also had a website with updates on things such as interview dates etc. Maybe check your emails?

Doing the ELAT test on the same day - I think they're all on the 2nd of November. Am equally terrified - I'm just hoping that I get some good texts and that I remember my terminology and finish on time *fingers crossed*

good luck to everybody - it's a shame they can't let EVERYONE in, it's horrible being in competition with people you know/met/like.

Yes, I applied to Queen's to read Law, got the e-mail around a week ago or so. It depends on the college I guess? :smile:

Do we really need to have teachers sign our passport photos?

I emailed re: the tape (non) issue and the lady who emailed back just mentioned writing name/course on the back. But the website the email links to says you need your referee or basically someone in authority to sign them.

Yeah I think they mostly are.

For the HAT test the hardest bit is they give you an essay title and say to write about any event or area of history. You then have to sit there racking your brains for something you know about that could work with the question! That's the bit i'm most worried about, just forgetting everything! The rest is source analysis so it's a bit less stressful.

In the ELAT do you have to come up with any of your own texts and write from memory?

I know, another girl from my history class is doing the HAT as well and I'd hate if one of us got in but not the other :frown:

Good luck on Wednesday!

same subject, same college, same position

i think it'll just be a confirmation of the application

it says on their website they normally give out interviews in the last couple weeks of november
