The "I've been pooled" thread

i got my rejection letter today......."**** 'em!" haha

never mind

what did they say were they polite or brash?

sidney sussex was mine...reckon it will be college specific cos each one will send out their letters/get their paperwork sorted at the same time but its irrelevant when you hear really

This kind of reminds me of a horror movie or computer game - everyone has a feeling that elimination is inevitable, one by one, but no one knows who will go first and who will follow...

I just keep expecting some serial killer to jump out and scream BOO and hack me to pieces (aka get a rejection letter)
And then the words GAME OVER will come onto the screen and because I am dead I will pass over to the 'other side' (aka LSE)

And... now I just sound deluded ignore me

has anyone in the pool received anything from Jesus College?? An interview? An offer? A rejection? Anything?!

It sounds as though many colleges sent out rejection letters today - maybe my weekend-ruiner is on the way for tomorrow's post....!

It wouldn't surprise me if decisions were made much earlier in the week (as someone mentioned earlier) - you'd think they'd pick out their very favourites as soon as possible, in which case everybody who's left hasn't got a chance....... the SAQ thing just backs up what seems pretty obvious i.e. that if it still says your original college on it, and hasn't been changed, that means no other college is going to give you an offer (which is again obvious, because nobody has contacted you!), and that because only an extremely small number of people are made offers by their original college, it's just a matter of time before it's over..

My fingers, like several of yours seem to be, are crossed for good news for Durham, whenever I might hear back from them!

I too have been blanked by Jesus college, its such a popular college though, everyone loves Jesus; so they can afford to prolong our suffering for as long as possible.

Wow, Cambridge certainly are being quick this year! Commiserations to those of you who are rejected, but be thankful its over so quickly!

Nina, were you pooled? if you don't mind me asking

Hopefully she doesn't mind me replying .

She was in the pool for the first year she applied but then pulled out. Then reapplied in her gap year and got straight in.

Ok its a bit scary how much I know about others on here .

(it's just some ppl get embarrassed about the pool, and some don't admit they were in it. )
