please try to remain humble and don't let this success go to your head. sometimes all that differs between the people who get an interview offer and the people who don't is simply a matter of luck.

That is an odd thing to say, and unrelated to the thread.

OP, thegeek888 is not an authoritative source on any subject. He's some old geezer who lives at his parents' house and hasn't an academic qualification to his name. The nearest he's been to Oxford is probably a Harry Potter bus tour.

Be guided by what Lincoln College say. If the email from Lincoln requests an acknowledgement, acknowledge. If it doesn't, don't. Sit tight, keep focused, and best of luck with the interviews.

I got an interview from another college and they mentioned something about filling a form to acknowledge that I would attend the interview, so read your mail throughout it will probably be towards the end. But ig it depends on the college

also, another question on interviews, they’ve said to let them know if id consider an alternate course - would i do that in the interview or by email (and if the latter, how exactly/what’s the wording meant to be?)
