Hi everyone! I just got the portal log in and went and ranked all my colleges. There's a table in the portal with my name, DOB, course etc. But one of the boxes says 'Choice Number: 2' What does this mean??!!

I thought that you ranked preferences upon receiving an offer from the university? Or is once you have applied? I’m a bit confused.
I got to rank them when I got the acknowledgement, you get a login for an application portal

I think although you can rank the colleges after applying, it won’t achieve anything. I think I may just wait until if or after I receive an offer as they won’t consider my ranking until then anyway and they will give you a deadline in which to do this.

I looked on their website and it says that you have 7 days after receiving an offer to rank college preferences

oh south doesnt have gowned formals? the durham website and southjcr website saidit does tho.. doyou happen to know which is more international given that both colleges are pretty similar?

Both colleges are pretty diverse, but I think John Snow has a slightly higher proportion of international students, hope this helps :smile:

Scared! I've done a couple of practice essays and stuff but I haven't overly prepared. Hopefully this half-term I will get some more revision done! Which college at Oxford have you gone for? I've gone for Balliol.
