Where did you get allocated to, Consti??

I just go an interview also! So pleased!

St. Hilda's. It sounds really nice from the info they have on their website but I must admit it was not one of the colleges I had looked at on the open day.

Well Done on your Interview!!! Which college? I told you you were probs just being irrational about the TSA.

Anyways... Does anyone know how the re-allocation system actually works? Are applicants re-allocated randomly or is it an indication of the comparative quality of your application? I kinda hope its the former.

STILL OVER THE MOON!!!

Ah - yeah, it did seem nice from their website.
Thank you soo much - It was so nervewracking opening the PDF attachment!! I've applied to Univ - haha - I still think it went badly, maybe just not as bad relatively...?

I'm not sure about the re-allocation thing...

I was expecting a letter, so when I came home and saw that nothing had arrived my reaction was one of distress at the prospect of antagonising further over interviews. When I saw the email entitled 'invitation to interview' I was beside myself and very jubilant.

I have never been so nervous in my life! I'm really looking forward to the interview now though. The preparation begins!

Looking at the Oxford website they really don't make it clear how the decision to re-allocate works, other than balancing the ratios of candidates applying to particular colleges. Sooo annoying.

Mine was worse. I kinda expected an e-mail as that's what other applicants to Univ in different subjects had got. So I opened my e-mails and the subject was: Application to University College Oxford. So quite vague...then I open that and it says: "Please find attached a letter regarding your application...!"
Never has a PDF document taken such an age to load!!

I guess with re-allocation it could just be that your college didn't have space for you but still think you should be interviewed!!

Best of luck - I've got soo much to do this next week!!

Hey everyone - just thought I'd post that I have been invited to interview at New college - my intitial choice.

Really sorry to everyone who didn't get in - I can't imagine what it feels like, but there's a 2/3 chance I will do in about a month's time. I hope you cope okay and get into one of the other great places which do the course.
