Being dramatic over Oxford colleges?

I just got my second interview for Oxford and it’s at the ONE college I’ve been trying to avoid, am I being too dramatic over being angry that this is my second college choice? I should be grateful to even be getting an interview but like what are the odds seriously…
Also.. is there a possibility I could get a third interview?

i wouldn't say you're being dramatic, i definitely also have colleges that i'd rather avoid. at the end of the day you need to remind yourself that the college is only a small part of the oxford experience, and no matter where you end up i'm sure there'll be aspects of the college that you love (saying this i would still react the exact same way if i got an interview from a college i don't like). as to third interviews, i do believe it is possible in some courses. good luck!
You have one of the most First Worldy of First World problems.

Cheer up. There are people here who have not been shortlisted who would trade places with you in a flash.

Which college is giving you the oh noes?

Yes, you’re definitely right that this is a first world problem. I think I’m so use to being disappointed, that I’m finding things to complain about… and it’s St Catherine’s College

St Catz is a lovely college. Not many people get the chance to live in the masterwork of one of the greatest architects of the twentieth century.

Yeah, it’s not too bad, I’ll just pray I get into my first college instead (or in Oxford at all)…
