Those who have written chapters have never looked back. I received a chapter on law and Spanish law only today. There have been 200 views so far. You will be seen on TSR as a hero to many.

The chapters will be sent out to applicants every single year, so you will be helping others for years to come. What a legacy.

Ahhh, thanks to you @Oxford Mum, I hope to be a part of that legacy. In the meantime, the wait for interview offers/rejections is slowly driving me crazy.

Yes! Is it bad that I compulsively check my emails and track at least once a day?

Yes. The workshops are meant to help students understand more about the interview process at Oxford and they're all virtual. Apparently, there will be a general session about Oxford interviews and then a course-specific session (which, for me, is tailored to psychology). Though I'd be glad to share as much as possible! xx

Yes please! When are they?

I also got a place for the 27th of November! I'm hoping to attend, however I haven't yet received a confirmation email/joining instructions. Have you? Also, which college were you assigned to?

I've just received a confirmation email, have you? I've been assigned Corpus Christi for psychology group 5 (even though I'm not doing psychology but I think it's just the department).

Hiya guys :smile: I've applied for PsychPhil at Univ and got seven 9s, an 8, a 7, and a 6 at GCSE
My predicted grades for my A Levels sent with UCAS were 2 A*s (psychology and philosphy) and 2 As (maths and politics) but now they've moved my maths up to an A* :smile: really don't think I'm gonna get an interview as I know I didn't practise anywhere near enough for the TSA but just more anxious to be rejected, not necessarily to not go to Oxford if that makes any sense!
Already got 3 offers for psychology and philosophy at St. Andrew's, Stirling, and Reading and waiting on Oxford (obviously aha) and Edinburgh :smile:))
I hope everyone's doing ok and wish you all the best of luck!

Good luck!! St Andrews is a great university!! Edinburgh is my second choice after Oxford (LingPhil), also have an offer from Leeds, waiting on Oxford, Sheffield, Edinburgh and York– not a lot of choice where linguistics and philosophy is concerned! I hope we'll both get in, Oxford is my dream! I go to school in France and they don't do predicted grades so that was a bit of a mess to sort out haha. I nearly applied to Univ, went with Jesus in the end. I'm sure you'll do great wherever you land up!!

You too honestly! You seem to have worked so hard and are lovely so I really hope I'll be able to see you at Oxford next year :smile: There's not a lot for psychology and philosophy either, I wanted courses with the BPS (British Psychological Society) accreditation so I can become a psychologist so I think I only managed to find 9 in the UK aha

There are only seven for philosophy and linguistics! Why didn't you apply for EP if psychology is what you want to go into? Just curious x

I just love philosophy so much and would love to be a philosophy lecturer later on in life, perhaps just before retirement? Aha

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

I applied for PPL at St Hilda's :smile: Great to see a thread for it - thought it was a very niche combo. How did everyone find the TSA? What were your average scored on previous papers?
