i'm pretty calm too actually, think it might be because i killed all my brain cells watching 3 episodes of Come Dine With Me (my mum's got control). i recommend it to all.

Well my daily update - heard nothing from Cambridge, SAQ now active again but still King's.
(Although the SAQ theory is bull to be honest :smile:)

I'm winning the thread. :awesome:

Your results are phenomenal. How did you not get a place outright?! :s.


Thanx. I don't know, to be honest, even though the interviewers in my interview were saying 'very good', 'that's very interesting/clever' etc. But then again they could have easily said those to everyone. I went to a state school for GCSE and now in an independent school for college, but i doubt that's got anything to do with it.
My SAQ hasn't changed at all since receiving the letter, which is why I think it may be less stressful to forget about the whole thing and just wait for LSE's decision, but I am too addicted to this thread:p:

Come Dine With Me is an awesome program :biggrin:

Back on topic, I think all of us are pretty calm to be honest - except lfc4eva. Cheer up and calm down, you'll probably hear something from some college soon!


Am I the only one that found that funny?:p:
Ermmmm....:ninja:

i dont mean to split hairs or whatever, but at oxbridge level, grades dont really mean much. the only occasion where grades really will act in your favour (i.e. not against your favour like a few Bs at AS might), would be 90/95+ UMS in most subjects at AS.

everyone (well most serious candidates) have suberb grades.

I wish they would just reject me now instead of waiting for them to tell me.
yeah, but even if u do get above 90% in most subjects at AS, it could still depend on other things, i.e.interviews.

Its the waiting that kills you. The Unknown. The glimmer of hope.

Same.

Agree! Wanting to give up completely (so I can concentrate more on revisions)but at the same time trying to find/believe in the faintest sign of hope.

It's horrible that some of us have to go to more interviews, spend even more time thinking about what they could ask, get our hopes up only to be told, "Sorry, you didn't get in".

Although, I am thankful that some college showed a bit of interest. :smile:
Anyway, how many places do they even offer without an interview after this date, and when will we all definitely know?
