Balliol college interviews...

help- anyone out there applied to Balliol, got an interview letter saying you had one but that you would get another with precise times and dates? That's what happened to me, but i have no letter yet, and am getting worried....

am considering ringing up the college and beating them for giving conflicting deadline for history written work and placing interview letters so close to one of these deadlines that my essay is probably going to be late... and then not telling me times of interview so i can plan my travels ahead and save money on the bloody rip-of that is national rail.

yes, i am slightly stressed! on another note, anyone else got an interview to Balliol? If so what for? and well done!

A generic letter as expected (insert applicants name here)
It says that the tutors have looked at your UCAS form, at your written work and they would like you to come for an interview.
It also asks you to confirm receipt of the letter and arrival time.
It details the interview procedure and so on...

Don't worry! I'm sure you'll get yours soon. I probably got mine early because my interview is in a week.

Anyone know what Law interviews at Balliol are like?
Also how many do you tend to get, and is there another college that is favoured as the secondary college in which you are interviewed at?
