The big thread of questions about Track status

but i thought you don't get taught by your college???

Yes, but they have a system of proportionality, so that all subjects are fairly represented by having an equal presence (or thereabouts) at each college.


Also, when you think of it, it wouldn't be fair - applications are graded in different orders - maths and History ones are looked at way before courses like Combined Honours in Arts (which I applied for), which would mean that the more popular colleges would be filled with the earlier graded subjects.

Congrats OP

Does anyone know if it's possible, after receiving an offer, to change your college? How difficult is this?

I thought I was cool getting an offer and all, and I went to the Durham AES tracker thingie, and it said nothing about being transferred to a college, does that perhaps mean...

I'm not going to assume, but like, Durham Track can go awry at times right? Right?

congrats on the offer, it would be too cruel of ucas to have made a mistake. however, i'm sure you'd feel happier with a letter in your hand eh?
still waiting for combined arts, and wishing i hadn't looked up the offers percentage on the uni site
Still, it's all character building stuff.

Thank you!
I know so cruel. But I checked and i'm on Campus 4, I hope thats Cuths.

Hahaha character building. :rollseyes:. What subjects are you taking?

It is Congrats.

french and maths, but am realising that most other maths people have done further maths, and I haven't. don't know if it will count against me
french, maths chem (edexel )at A2, spanish at AS. oh crikey!!!

Eeek!
Hold on, the waits supposed to be till March!

(Btw. Totally off topic, but while doing the French Bac what made you apply to the U.K? -i'm sur your offer will come through...)

Anyone know - If my application still hasn't been received by department does that mean i'm doomed???

I just think they're quite long to send applications XD. They should at least look at every applications before rejecting students.

I see you were due an interview Anatheme, how did it go? ok i hope

Oh no ...
It went worse than I imagined, lol.
Actually, the interviewer started in French and I felt completely lost as I prepared myself to speak English for about 20min, lol. Then she wanted me to speak Russian, and I couldn't. I was so stressed to fail my interview that it went even worse then. I told her I wasn't able to speak Russian and I can't remember what happened then, just that I said "au revoir", switch off my phone and cried for 10 minute before taking a book and read.

But life goes on, I shouldn't complain, I have 3 great offers and there are people that were rejected by all of their choices.
