Early applicant?

>>1961049
Applied to Oxford, but wanted to get it out of the way early anyway. Not going to get in at Oxford tbh, just my college wouldn't have sent it off for me this early if I hadn't applied there.

>>1961035

nice one op
Applied for Physics, no offers yet

entrance exam at Oxford next week, shitting brix

>>1961066
Good luck man, me too. Got the MAT on Wednesday.
Where else have you applied?

>>1961070
i cant wait for the mat

>>1961070
you too
Durham, imperial, lancaster and sheffield.

dude do you know of any mark scheme's for these tests?
I've done 4 past papers but with no answers it seems kinda pointless. maybe Oxford is just gay like that

>>1961092
I dunno about the physics one..
but they give solutions for the maths one on the website.

Don't they have similar for you? What's the test called?

NZfag doing CIE exams, our unis use the UCAS tarrif from 3 a-levels. They're pretty shit tier, though, hardest course at the best uni only requires 280.

>>1961103
What subject you doing?
280 UCAS, that's like BBC at A-level amirite?

>>1961109
Yeah.
A = 120
B = 100
C = 80
I'm taking Stats, Physics, History and Lit.

>>1961118
Nice :)
What do you wanna do at uni? (if you are going that is)

I'm yet to send off my application yet. Im looking at forensics in Lincoln, anyone recommend?

Why the fuck did i say yet twice?

>>1961128
Considering either Physics or Mechatronics Engineering. Oh, and I just checked, the course with the highest requirements is actually 300, or BBB, for a conjoint Engineering degree.

>>1961031
Applied for maths, no offers yet...
Cambridge,
Durham,
Warwick,
Surrey,
Sussex.

:(

Warwick are being damn slow this year...
Apparently last year they had already given out most of the offers/rejections for maths by 15th October. I only know of about 4 people who have an offer from them so far. Which Cambridge college are you applying to?

>>1961252
Really, wow nobody I know has offers so far.
I'm applying to Emmanuel.

>>1961267
I only actually know 1 person who has an offer, he got it today, but overall I know of 4 people who have (mostly on the student room).
It's kind of my first choice/backup so hope they respond soon. :)

>>1961278
Same, it's the first semi-realistic choice for me.

>>1961285
Cool, most people I know who are applying to Oxbridge seem to be determined to get in there. Thought I was the only one who was applying there without actually believing that I'll get in! Everyone else seems uber confident, there's even a guy who said "I'm not applying to Oxford, but if I did I would get in." I just ಠ_ಠ'd him and said "sure you will".

Interesting. Most people applying seem to be determined that they're gonna get in, few people have the balls to even give it a shot.. I figured might as well, you get 5 choices and I think it's better to put 1 fairly unrealistic choice and 1 shit tier choice rather than 2 mid/shit tiers like most people do.

Why do you say it's unrealistic for you?
For me my GCSE's are well below the average (too much of the vidya) and dropped a couple of grades in my AS levels as well for similar reasons. So on paper I look kind of shitty compared to most others applying there, although my predicted grades are A*A*A* I don't think they put much weight on those.

The entrance test seems alright, so if all goes well I'll do alright in that and get myself an interview. :)

*When I say the average I mean the average for Oxbridge applicants, which is 6 or 7A* IIRC.
