Has anyone been able to access websurf at any point today? I've had no luck at all.

How on earth do you guys get your results so early, mine aren't for another 4 weeks!

Aye they are, or they should be :lol: registry says 15th June for final processing iirc...

Doubt mines are up, still can't access it though.

Nah not once.

If I didn't need this bloody reference I wouldn't even have tried, but now I'm intrigued and anxious ffs :lol:
Right. If I am gonna come back, I better start flat hunting lest I rock up in August and not find anywhere. Anyone looking for a PhD student to share with, or know of cheapish (under £450 ideally if it's a one-bed, £550 if two) decent flats on the go? I'm having to go on pictures until at least July, which isn't ideal...

I'm half thinking of getting somewhere nice and blowing my £1200 monthly stipend and living like a poor student again, but the other half of me actually wants to have a nice style of living for the first time in six years!

Think of how much less beer money you'd have!

Fiona has two free rooms going since she scared me and Jess away :p:
Anyone got exam results back yet?
Got mine on Friday. Just thankful I got what I needed - a whole weight lifted off my shoulders and all that jazz. I'd be positively enjoying my summer if I wasn't starting full time work tomorrow :tongue: Oh well...
I've been mercilessly logging onto my websurf fourteen times a day to screw up the rest of you. Oh, and so I can re-live the glory days of it saying "First Class" on my transcript. That probably won't ever get old, and will probably remain the highlight of my meagre existence.

Oh, and I might be moving back into Mt. Fergus with my old flatmate. He's converted it back into a two-bedroom, so we have a massive living room and 42inch HD telly. We have to split the rent for the third room, but £350 a month including council tax with Sky TV seems like peanuts compared to Oxford, I'll have more drinking money (once this years debts are repaid) than I know what to do with. Expected PhD, 2018.

Have you got actual options marks back?

Not yet, just the overall grade. CPP said it might take quite a while for individual component marks to be published, but tbh most people will probably be happy just knowing their overall grade and with that whether they're in or out next year.

Yeah, They're aiming for those to be done by the end of this week, I think.
Anyone know what the score is in terms of GPAs? Using the 22-point scale, and taking into account the proportion of the 120 credits each course was, I tried working mine out, but it's way off what the course tab on websurf says. And the number on the course tab seems far too low even just guestimating the gpa based on my grades.

GPA is out of 16 :yy:

Course tab is bang on, you need 11 for honours. And that's about it I think :biggrin:

Just did the same thing :p:

Dunno how they go about working that out, but I'm pretty happy with mine, so I'll not complain!

As= 15&16
Bs= 13&14
Cs= 11&12

Or something like that. You've both got me intrigued now, I just accepted it....

Ah, thanks! Was getting a bit worried/confused with that. Silly of them to change the numeric scales around...

No worries, I thought I'd done poorly last year before I realised. And yeah, it would be nice if they told you!

Everyone get the results they were after then?

Pretty much, did better than I thought I had in everything except Family, which I'm a wee bit annoyed about, but not excessively (got a C1, but I got an A5 in the diagnostic so was aiming for a B at least...). Only 10 credits worth though, so I'm not fussed.

I don't think I've ever paid attention to the GPA thing. I always worked on the grades themselves. I know that for geography to get into honours you need at least a B in second year geog and a passing GPA.

As for the grade, meh. I was *so* close to a first, but not quite close enough for them to bump me up. But it doesn't really matter, I got into my Masters course.

Glad to hear it :top: And yeah, wouldn't dwell on it too much, C1 is a good result and it won't have much of an affect anyway:yep:

Yeah, Law's prerequisite for honours is an 11 GPA, and places are allocated on some courses according to it which is why I'd had a look.

And congrats, a (high!) 2.i and a place on the Masters is awesome :biggrin:
