The "I've been pooled" thread

Coolio! I've got an offer from Exeter too!
Security placement high five!

so as far as i know, there has been very very limited action from cambridge over the last 2 days???

does this mean that we have to query our theory that they have already made most of their decisions and that they're now spending all this time trying to sort everyone in the pool out??

from what i can see....

the majority of people on this thread haven't heard yet - no interview or offer or rejection.

today was the last day that we could be offered an interview.

so basically, people who haven't heard till now are going to get an offer/rejection from another college by the 10th, or their application will get sent back to their original college and they will be notified of the final result via phone call/email/letter/track..whether it is an offer or a rejection...

is that a decent summary of the situation so far?

Sorry, is that your effort and being sarcastic? If so...

yaaay maybe see you @ exeter freshers' 09? That's where I'll be going if I don't get fished

Lets see....any of the demoralised brigade applying to:

Warwick/Durham/Exeter/Southampton?

The outcome is going to be cruel anyway-rejection equals immediate heartache, and an offer after a week's wait is akin to being kicked in the crotch and then helped up and looked after by the same person; although I'm not saying I think I'll get an offer.

Some of my friends have let their places go to their heads though, sadly.

Sounds like it. Nice to see someone being all logical and calm for a change! How'd you manage it?

I've applied to Durham! Doubt I'll get in though.

Yes, and many of our files have been returned to our original college (or so we believe, as we logged on to our SAQ's earlier). Thus, it seems we are either going to get a rejection tomorrow, be taken by our original college, or be considered once again after the interviews tomorrow (for art applicants).

Ominous silence is all I've had from Durham, almost as though they're too embarassed to even acknowledge that I've applied there! Only joking, but not joking about the silence; but then I did hear that they sit back and lurk (academically speaking) and make offers when they know whose been chosen by Oxbridge and who hasn't. Well, either way, if I don't see you there or not, I hope you get to a place that you love.

Good luck all. Can't say that enough.

and then pray for an offer from LSE.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow then! Just wondering, why just art applicants?

No I think they make offers when they have all the applications. It's fairer, but loooooong.

Art applicants have their interview tomorrow, science/math applicants have theirs a day or two later, I believe.

That sounds less like a conspiracy and more like something I remember someone telling me now. Wonder why I remembered the conspiracy one eh?

Wish they'd just hurry up and tell me now. There'll be alot of fishes going belly-up in the pool in the next few days/by next week, they could surely slip in one secret email to me putting me out of my misery? Only kidding, I know they can't.
