Oxford 2019 Rejects Thread

Nice! My dad actually went to UCL! I really wanted to apply for Birm, but I didn't like how their Liberal Arts has a mandatory year at a foreign uni. Not that it wouldn't be interesting though, but I didn't want to add a fourth year. Also, Bath is amazing! Have you heard anything on your apps yet?

that’s so awesome! i want to make it my firm ) just been invited to a pals open day actually which is great. I get what you mean with the added fourth year too. bath is really cool and i get an offer id love to insure it! so far ive got 3/5 offers, 3/4 if we remove ox lol it’s just bath in waiting for now 💫

Fingers crossed! I haven't actually been to any open days yet, but I'm thinking I would firm Leeds or Exeter if I got offers just based on what I've read/seen!

that sounds great! i would recommend going to some open days/offer holder days as they are really nice but i know it’s harder as you’re in the US - good luck in your decisions/exams!

Thanks! Got an interview for Manchester, so fingers crossed!

oh wow well done! you’ll smash it 🎊

Applied for History and Economics at St John's. Rejected pre interview is a little bit of a bummer tho. I dont think my HAT went very well

I'm not gonna reapply cause im canadian and it's too expensive or too much of a hassel to delay my other schools for a year to apply. I got into UCL and a few others so far but I'm probs going to UofT or Queens (Canada).

Its not the end of the world they simply want the best qualified people which is understandable. Perhaps I could try for a graduate degree.

Thought it was about time someone made this thread, so enter me

This is for anyone that's been rejected that wants to vent or cry or whatever.

Some icebreakers:
-What college and course did you apply for:
-What stage you were rejected at:
-Are you going to reapply:
-What other offers you have/ what your first choice is:

I'll get us started:

-Mathematics at Merton
-Pre-interview
-Not taking another gap year (This was my first time applying)
-Offers for mathematics from York, UCL and Warwick.

My first choice is Imperial College London though I'm still waiting to hear back, second choice is Warwick, both in the top 4 in the country for mathematics and my wawick offer is unconditional. If I get an offer from Imperial I'm expecting a STEP condition which is gonna be so much fun.

York is really nice btw, my girlfriends studying Law there, it's a nice campus/environment.

Edit: Also, I found the admissions test fairly easy so I was quite shocked to not get an interview at least but I guess my gcses probably brought me down.

What were your gcses

Probs my downfall, only had 1 A* which was in mathematics, would of been two if my *****y school had let me do the further maths GCSE. ( I severely underperformed at GCSE in my non-mathematics subjects)

Though I had A*A*A* already achieved in mathematics, further Mathematics and computer science at A level.

Awww did you take a gap year to reapply? And that’s amazing!!!! You should be so proud
