knowing you were (__)<<<that close to getting into oxford, thats gotta bloody kill, isnt there a way you can appeal?

Hmmm, I have no idea - but yeah, it is a little frustrating, but only to an extent. I'm glad that I tried my best and served myself some justice! :smile:

Cheers, my only offer is at KCL so I'm off there next year I guess


For me, I was lucky - I just received an email from one of the interviewers (which he hasn't sent to the school btw). Others request it. Other colleges refuse to give feedback.

Your best bet would be just to email them politely, they'll respond when they have the opportunity no doubt! :smile:


o rite, cheers!

Oh that's good then. And yeah, they're the best i've seen on here.


well, maybe (though almost certainly not if you did a little searching), but all you'd be doing is encouraging more people to put their grades up, and then people will start lying etc... not a good path to go down, imo.

Ooooh, on a different note - you're an Oxford Medic? Tell me more, I'm intrigued! :tongue:

Wouldn't that be a bit, I don't know, depressing? :confused:

and i suppose those who have gone out of their way to lie will care the most if you are repping them, so that would be some good charity work anyway! :tongue:

ah what a pointless discussion.

I do, well I think I do at least! :tongue:

My grades if you're wondering: 10A* at GCSE, 7A's at AS, 19.6 in the BMAT :smile:


Even though 5A's at A-level (obviously excluding CT and GS) is a remarkable achievement mate, it is by no means special at Oxford (as not only do grades not mean everything, but there are people there with even better results :/ )

He said 7, not 5 :smile: He also went on to say it would be 8 including GS.

Congrats, ADREAM! Really great feedback, a little bittersweet perhaps but you should still be proud :smile: :hugs:

He said 7, then 8 - take out GS and CT and he has 6, which whilst a remarable achievement in an ordinary context, is by no means anything special for Oxford (reasons for which are explained in my previous post)

Oh sorry, I thought you said 5 including CT & GS, my apologies :smile:

Yeah there are some people with better results perhaps, but it is still a great achievement. Better than me, anyway :tongue:
Are you going to reapply? Surely that shows your potential and perhaps just work on increasing your bmat test.

Did you see your reference? :confused:

Already made a thread about this a while back... Merton is refusing to send any.


Yep, I can confirm that. Policy is to not give feedback on individual cases. However, I did get this year's stats for the uni in general (15237 apps for ~3200 places) and for E&M (1166 apps for 73 offers).

That's: 6.3%
Damn.

Thank you. But by posting my academic record, I was just trying to shed some more light on the feedback, and not in any way gloat or think I'm great.

I don't think so - I'm really content with KCL Medicine! :smile:

But yep, like I mentioned before I was able to see my reference before it was sent off, and by God does my school like me! :eek3:

No point being sad about it now, but I'm afraid your reference might have let you down as it's not specifically about you, you might wanna say this to whoever does these things in your school (how do they generally do on oxbridge candidates?).

Oops - I think you're mistaken, it was actually a really really good reference all about me! :tongue:
