Hi everyone, I had wanted to apply to Magdalen College for music but was discouraged from my UCAS tutor at school who said I 'was not good enough'. Disheartened, I brought this up to my music teacher who disagreed with the UCAS tutor. For further context, I am an experienced performer, being a member of NYO, and passionate in composition, which is the field I would like to enter in the future.
The UCAS tutor mentioned that no one in my school was applying to St Hilda's and suggested that I apply there instead, although there was no room for choice due to her unkind nature.
Over the past few weeks, I have been reconsidering my options, and I fear that I may not be suitable for St Hilda's. However, I realise that Christ Church has many qualities that appeal to me. As a result, I considered changing college choice via Oxford's UCAS application change form, but asked for my UCAS tutor's advice out of respect beforehand. Before she could reply, the deadline for the form passed, and now I am slightly disappointed.
My friends say I should call the admissions team tomorrow morning, but I am unsure if there is any point. I would be happy to go to Hilda's if all goes well, but if there is an opportunity for me to change colleges once more, I would be really eager to take it on.
Thanks!
