Has anyone heard of anyone getting any HisPol offers? I think my college is pretty slow so I don’t know when to expect mine :/

Well im applying from Australia, so im like one of if not the only person in Sydney applying for Hispol. But aparently they generally start sending by the 23rd. I reckon maybe 26ish, thats my feeling anyway.

Oh god really!? wow, so u really do have nothing else to do but wait. In every lesson I'm distracted (I'm in Religious Studies atm) cos I'm either on Student room or refreshing my emails.

Hi guys, any Balliol applicants here?

I just want Oxford to hurry up and reject me already so I can stop fussing about this

the most confusing thing is that on the Merton website it says they haven't made any shortlisting decisions, yet on the spreadsheet, people have got offers from Merton. I can't tell whether those people are lying or Merton just hasn't updated their website.

Probably haven't updated their website; it seems like the websites are updated when the majority (or at least a bulk) of their offers/rejections are sent out

Hello! I've applied to Magdalen and in a workshop yesterday they said history invites would come out week commencing 30th Nov so we've got a little longer to wait I think

Might have to take a break from all of of this until the 30th.

But if the provisional dates for interviews are 7/8/9 and they said that they'd give at least a weeks notice than surely they can't leave it until after the 30th?

I hope you're right, that does make sense, cos we would be seriously disadvantaged if they did it then

On the official applicants thread someone mentioned that history offers usually come out at the same time as PPE - they're expecting these on Thurs/Fri from what I know.
