PPL at Oxford

Has anyone applied for PPL here? It's not a very big degree and I'm yet to find anyone. I've applied for philosophy and linguistics at Jesus

Hi! I am also applying for philosophy and linguistics. It's great to hear from someone else, particularly with the same combination. I've applied to Magdalen...

i know someone who has applied to psychology and philosophy at jesus

Hi! I've also applied for PPL, though for psychology and philosophy @ St John's. I'm so glad there are other PPL applicants on here. I couldn't find anyone until I found this thread haha

Yes! That's why I made this thread, but I wasn't expecting to find anyone doing PPL let alone the least popular combo. I nearly applied to Magdalen, it's so beautiful! But I wanted a smaller college so I went with Jesus but who knows what will happen?
Where are you applying from? Have you applied previously or not? What alevels/ other qualifications are you doing?

Great! What are your alevels/GCSEs/other? What about the TSA? Just trying to get a conversation started here

Well, my GCSEs were: 9999999988. I'm currently taking Maths, Physics and RS at A*A*A* predicted and I have an A in Further Maths AS. And you?

In terms of the TSA, ahhh. Usually when I come out of an exam, I get a feeling of knowing whether I did well or not, but after the TSA I didn't really know how to feel haha. I think the problem solving questions were alright, but I'm not too sure on the critical thinking ones :/ I also don't think I wrote enough for section 2. I'm just hoping I did enough to get an interview. How did you find it?

Also, did you apply for the Oxford Remote Interviews workshop?

i’m doing the IB with English, French, Spanish, maths, history and environmental sciences and it’s my first time applying. what about you?

I'm in school in France but I have an a-a* average I think.i also have two GCSEs (french a*, English language a) and I do English language and literature and maths as a levely things in school. I think the TSA went alright but I really sped through it and I submitted the essay just before the battery died! I didn't even know there were interview workshops until I saw, too late on TSR. Are you doing them?

I applied for the interview workshop and got a place for the 27th of November. Are you going?

Wow you're a French applicant, that's so cool! For the TSA, I was in a similar position. I sped through the questions and didn't really check my answers. I didn't even manage to finish my essay Oh well, what's done is done.

In terms of the workshop, yes, I was lucky enough to get offered a place. But it doesn't necessarily mean anything. I may not even get an actual interview haha. Anyways, the best of luck to you with your application! I'm glad I know someone applying for the same course as I am

Good luck everyone!

If any of you get in, I will be after you for an Oxford Demystified chapter, lol

Hey I got repped for this! I'll take that as a "yes" , then...

That was me, and yes definitely!! (if I get in, which is the biggest if of my life) I was kind of on despair not to find any Oxford demystified chapters for either philosophy or linguistics or combinations including those subjects so I would defo cobtribute to filling that gap! xx

So do you get offered a place at the workshops? As I said, didn't even know they existed. Would you mind sharing some info afterwards, if there's anything that strikes you as necessary to know etc? Thanks xx
