I think we should stop sending successful PSs across the internet! You'll write it better if you just write it yourself. I refused to read another PS until I'd written mine exactly as I wanted it. If I'd read others I might've changed it and so I'm glad I didn't as it obviously helped get me in. Trust yourself to write it well!
And yes, that sort of gambling is good for the soul. It excercises your self-belief and makes you take control of your future a bit more. Nietzsche would approve, methinkx

Anyone still waiting for PPE from Christ Church? 
Still no letter, and they told us we would know by the 14th. I was hoping after reading here that the reason I didn't get anything was because they changed their mind and sent letters on the 17th, and there was a delay in the post for me, but still nothing.
Finally fought back fear and called...but no one's answering. Guess they've gone? I then called Harris Manchester, where I had an extra interview. Someone was there but they say they can tell me nothing.
And now I start to wonder if I was so bad at the interviews/test that they thought I should know, and it wasn't worth sending me a rejection letter.

Yep, got an offer this morning.
Congratulations! Was it from your first choice college? Or were you reallocated - because you said others were phoned up?

I got an offer from St Catz which is where I was pooled to. Happy all the same though.
Maybe all us PPE TSRers should meet up next year and all praise this wondrous thread (provided we all meet our offers)...
Anyone else get into Brasenose?
Congratulations to all those who got offers,
I will be back, but for now,
Smile im leaving...

According to this she has an offer from Christ Church.
Congrats to all offer-holders
Yes, got an offer! Thanks for everyone to tell me not to worry so much.
Where were you staying? I was in Peckwater. I didn't go to the JCR much: I spent the free time going round with a camera and being all touristy.

Well the Oxford forum is a bit dull now there are no panicking applicants; where are all the eager 2009 PPEists!?
oh my, i have just found this thread, and i am another 2009 (hopefully!) PPEist, it makes for very interesting reading, but i am so glad i didn't see it when i was applying, it would just have made me more nervous...

The Oxford forum is pretty much dead.
It feels weird that it's all over now...
I'm sure the 2009 batch will come along soon enough and then it'll be us having to reassure them

All over??? My, it's only just beginning!
Actually, it kinda is all over for now. You'll start panicking about it again when your exams come around, though. I panicked about it and I only needed Ds in most of mine.
The last time I thought about Oxford, it was idle curiosity about whether I could find some rich friends to take me skiing. Not that I'm materialistic or anything...
Anyway, I don't think I said congratulations to everyone, so congratulations to everyone and see you all in the pub come October!

I panicked about it and I only needed Ds in most of mine.
Yeah I'm looking forward to that. I only need 204 C, 196 C and 180 C at A2 to meet my offer, but it's impossible not to worry. Never mind; extra motivation to work!
Absolutely. And if you're anything like me you don't want Cs anyway. It's still a long way off, though (when you guys get your results I'll practically be home 
) so enjoy New Year and the like first! Don't kill yourself working before you even get there...
