Just got an email for Geography - interview 13th December, phew...

How do you feel about it coming by email though? Mine came as a letter two weeks ago tomorrow, are you slightly annoyed that you consequently have less time to prepare or have you started this already?

Well I’m afraid there is nothing I can do about it.. just do my best.

Congratulations! Did yours come as an email? And did it come with an article that you have to read and prepare beforehand?
Great news... when is it ?
Has anyone had any issues with sending off their reply slip? I sent mine off but then I got an email saying that I hadn’t. I’d tried to contact the admissions office but it goes to voicemail
English!

I take A - Levels - English lit, sociology, psychology and an EPQ - predicted A* A* A A

Was invited to interview - theyre such nice people but i rlly messed up
I forgot to pause to think and the answers were really wishy washy, long - did not even get to elaborate on any extra reading :frown:
Even submitted work in with a spelling mistake!

Completely screwed it up so I don't really have high hopes for the 15th - in fact I dont think I will want to check my emails that day at all :frown:

How was everyone else's interviews?!

I applied for Law!
And honestly completely messed it up. I was just too overwhelmed and forgot to take a moment and think before responding so I am not optimistic at all but fingers crossed we both get what we want :smile:

Wow I do chemistry, geography and french so we’re quite similar! Love that you chose to do the subjects you love for a level just like me :biggrin:

That's so lovely to hear! Everyone in my college acts like it's an abomination to do a science without maths or an additional science 🙄 so its nice to know I'm not the only one! :smile:

I think it’s simply that it’s much easier to tackle the maths component of the sciences (mainly chemistry and physics) with a background in maths
Hi! Really amazed/suprised to get an offer for NatSci! A couple mates at other colleges got A*A*A* offers?!? Has anyone heard from Fitz?

I haven’t heard anything back about offers ( literally refreshing UCAS every 5 seconds 😂😂) it should soon tho ( I got an offer for history and politics at Fitzs and was soooo happy) good luck with what ever your offer is :smile:
Hahaha! I think the letters might be there tomorrow before the system update? But history and politics sounds amazing and I hope we both meet the conditions! Really well done :smile:
I got in for Natsci but haven’t received my letter or ucas track update
Getting kinda stressed😂
Does anyone else know when it will update
Neither! I’m kinda stressed too... but i think it’ll be A*A*A* which is crazy! Haven’t heard of anyone yet with a A*A*A offer
Yeh when did the letter get posted?
Did ur email say not to mention anything till 31st Jan?
