Oh dear I panic everytime the phone rings.


If they're calling this early, it's likely to be an offer.

Indeed, you won't know if you are rejected until much later, perhaps not until the end of January.

I just want that damn phone to ring!
I don't think I've been auto pooled (6 A*s rather than seven and UMS breakdown of 273, 271, 269...spot the odd one out :rolleyes: ) so i hope that means my interviews were decent...I can't bear the wait...I just want to shut the door on this Cambridge thing...the longer the process takes the more emotionally involved I become :o:

I hate being in category P which in all likelihood I am in. Especially for such an immensely competitive subject as History.

Might reapply too but *prays for Durham*


Ooh another History pooler - all the history applicants I know got rejected or accepted, I seem to be the only one that was pooled.
Which college did you originally appy to? I got pooled by King's :frown:
I have a feeling I too am in category P (I know I'm definitely NOT in category A!)
Good Luck with the pooling and Durham :smile:

Congrats! So another college is calling...Good luck to everyone in the pool! It's so weird that I don't even know if I've been pooled yet (though I doubt it).

At first I thought being pooled was still a real chance to get an offer; but now I'm starting to doubt that. :p:

Well, just got an email, I've been "fished out".
Not fully, as I only have another interview at Jesus, but atleast I now know my chances of getting in from last years pool!
Good luck to the rest of you!
