Oxford Chemistry Students and Applicants

Well done for the distinction - but seriously - if they give so many out isn't it a tad silly? I was nowhere near one in pharmacology so this isn't out of bitterness (and the same comment can be applied to quantum) but we were told that on principle he'd never give more than 30% distinctions as it devalued it.

For A+H id agree.

The people doing QM all are very clever and have odd shaped heads, and didnt TH, EB and assorted other clevers fail to get a D, so i think its probs a bit unfair to say the same applies for quantum.

I remember from last year that the results for A&H appeared very skewed, something like 32 distinctions & twelve passes, but there were quite a few who chose not to publish - about nine people actually failed.

I was thinking of doing O1 O2 and I2, is this a mistake?

That's what I'm doing - can't stand the physical. I2 and one of the organics (I can't remember which it is) are quite repetitive, but I would count that as a good thing None of the topics are too bad I don't think, although I've not had some of the tutes yet, aargh.

Ah, I didn't pick I2 for the fear of no teaching... I get the impression that Dermot disapproves of it.

Doesn't he disapprove of everything?
