I've been here since the threat started and I haven't seen any lawyers fished out yet. So I'm hoping they'll come in tomorrow, and that we'll be included!

Also we're both applying to warwick and bristol who haven't replied to both of us yet so that makes me feel better.
What college did you apply for (can't remember if it was in your sig)


I have not seen any Arch and Anthers fished out yet either lol - as there is only on this thread way way way way back (Sexypink). I just want to know, I can't bear this waiting - I pinned too much on this application. I honestly thought I had a chance.

I know how you feel.
I have no interest in going to my other 3 unis.
I'd be content with durham though.

Aaaaaaaaargh I hate the pool :frown:. And I find out tomorrow if I've been rejected. The Peterhouse admissions tutor is going to phone or email everyone; I think I might tell her that no-one is going to be out of the house so that she emails as I don't really want to come home and have my mum have to break the news to me :shifty:

A fellow lawyer :biggrin: I applied to St Johns and am not surprised I wasn't accepted...A popular college like that will attract the best students...Argh I want a Warwick offer sooo bad (They're actually my top choice)

Darn, Peterhouse admissions sounds nice, I doubt I will hear anything until the end of January!

you mean 'offered through the pool'

yer i added that up too

and of those 22, 5 were from all-female colleges.

so 17 pool places were open to male medics in the pool last year

it's not too bad i guess. but when theres probably 100 equal or better people in the competition, thats not great :P

*sk* do you mind me asking your GCSES, AS UMS scores, and BMAT result? :smile:



Oooooo, erm but we've only just met, :P

I'll tell you, but dont be getting "ooooooo I'm better than HIM/HER" on me !

lol,
7A*4A's, Maths :295 Chem 284 Phy 283 Bio 274
Hist 225(bah cant remember, i know it was a B though)

and lol, rest assured u DESTROYED me in the BMAT

S1 4.4 S26.1 S3 9.0
LH123
The fact I think I might have a chance means I'll be rejected. Anyone else going Southampton/Nottingham? :p:


Possibly Nottingham if a) I get rejected by Durham, b) I get an offer from Durham but don't like it c) If I prefer Nottingham to the other 3 unis I applied to other than Durham and Notts, or d) If I get the grades...

I thought you were pretty much 100% Southampton after Bristol and Cambridge? :confused:

Well, I need to see both Southampton and Nottingham first, but I still lean towards Southampton.

Would seem silly making a decision with only what I have read influencing me. :wink:

I went for Downing, which was probably the worst choice to make! That said, according to the statistics out of 43 pooled lawyers offered places, 16 of them were Downing applicants! That does make me feel a tiny bit better, but you know... I like Bristol, and got an offer. Good luck with getting one from them!
If you get an interview, is that it? Just an option of offer or rejection from them? Do other colleges have any chance after this? does this end your chances with your original college?

Peterhouse admissions are brilliant :biggrin:. Unfortunately at least others get to hold out hope for longer, I get my rejection tomorrow :frown: .

If they both decide that they want to make you an offer, they toss a coin over you :p:

seriously, no joke.

Yes, yes, not that I know of, not sure. The pool has already ended AFAIK so they can't really pass files around anymore...IIRC if your second-interview college doesn't want you they tell you that "your original college will be in touch" but that is far more likely to be a rejection.

My top choice too! - cept I got my AAB offer :smile:

If we don't hear anything, not even for an interview, by the 10th, is there really any realistic chance of getting an offer? I was just wandering if it would be worth calling up after that date to find out the verdict, instead of having to wait til the end of January..then they can just tell us we're rejected then and there.

That way, I can get on with accepting Warwick so i can hopefully get dibs on accommodation :cool:

Can't hurt, can it?
