The "I've been pooled" thread

ItsLikeThat

Same. I'm actually feeling quite happy about going to one of my other 4 choices, but I want to be told for sure I've been rejected so I can focus on those.

Yeah I have EVIDENCE that I'm moving on :biggrin:

- I'm starting to look at bursaries and scholarships for LSE (well its got to be done sometime)

Cambridge can still give me an offer though - I'm still willing to consider them (oh who am I kidding I would pounce on the opportunity!)

We're all in the same boat, right? I mean, all our SAQ's are back to our original college? So, I think it will be really interesting to see if any of us are fortunate enough to get an offer back from our original college.

One person has, I guess he will be in the minority though. :sad:

A lovely heart-warming metaphor there.

Oooh I applaud your analogy. I've come up with a fair few since being placed in the pool :smile:

I think the pool is mentally retarding me.

I want to be Leonardo Di Caprio, at least then I get laid before being frozen to death.

haha!

@Commando: I know :p:

I do try to be optimistic though, most of the time...

@PotOfGold: Thanks :smile:

I don't come up with many analogies, but I enjoy it when I do haha. And same...but I've basically come to face it that I'll be rejected so I'm kinda over the speculation phase...unless someone else comes up with another little bit of hope...

@LH123: Niiiice! I guess most guys are thinking the same thing too!

is there a relatively good distribution of boys and girls or is it a bit one sided. just wondering since it used to be an all boys place.
