Oxbridge applications 2019 (part two).

[Justanothermile]

New thread, I hope it's okay to start one.

Good luck today for those still waiting for interview news, which includes us.

Congratulations to those already with dates.

Just got a call from DD. Offer! Not the college she applied to but not the PPH either. She sounded a bit disappointed but hopefully that will wear off. Good luck to everyone else!

Getting - what great news! Congratulations! Still waiting here! On TSR it seems many of the colleges have sent emails already. I am starting to get really anxious. My DD decided to stay and wait at home, but did not want us there, so I am at work (not being very productive, as you can imagine) waiting now VERY impatiently!!!

Congrats PantTwizzler DD. That will wear off!! Go celebrate!
Also to getting DC!

Dd got email from the college she applied to (which was Merton) at about 9 I presume.

Congrats PantTwizzler! Great news!

Thanks for congrats - although absolutely nothing to do with me apart from going as nag carrier to an open day - congrats to others too and fingers crossed for those still waiting to hear .

Nice work PantTwizzler DD - am I right in thinking this was for Classics?

Congratulations Pant and Getting - Merton was ds's favourite and we loved St John's too!

Waiting for Caius email on Monday.

Thanks all. Yes Classics but not Merton — she had an interview somewhere else which is where she got the offer from.

Just wishing everyone good luck.

ds is pretty sure he will be going to Warwick or his reserve and is very pleased. Also glad he gave everything a try.

DS has a Conditional Law offer from Triniity. AAB Advanced Highers.

Scottish state school applicant so it can happen for anyone.

So happy!!!!!!!

Fabulous news for pant, aurea and getting, really well done to your DC.

DD didn't get good news but she seems fine, she's at school so it's hard to tell but the texts seem pretty philosophical. She'll be happy wherever she goes I'm sure.

Really well done again guys.

That is tough justanothemile. How are you doing?

Well done Aurea DS! Sorry to hear that *Just another^. Get the impression she is a well adjusted young lady. I am sure she will thrive!

Congrats Aurora - you must be super proud.

Justanothermile sorry good news didn't arrive this morning. It's such a tough process.

Congrats, Gettingthrough! I have been an anxious lurker on this thread but am very excited to say that my DD has also had an offer from St John's. An email from the college at about 8.30 this morning. She has worked so hard - as I'm sure all the other DCs have - that I'm delighted to see that paying off.

Very many congrats to the offerees and a shout out to Aurea DS - that long trip down (which I know well!) was well worth it.

But very sorry indeed to hear about your DD Justanothermile - really tough and genuinely surprising from all you've said. Very best wishes to you both.

DD didn’t get in. She’s sad but we’re trying to stay as positive as possible.

questioner123 - any thoughts about reapplying next year? Or, once the dust has settled, do you think she’ll be very happy with her 2nd choice?

Thanks guys, I haven't managed to speak with her, but I know she'd been group chatting with other interviewees and they were all pretty realistic. She said two others who, in her opinion, were excellent candidates didn't get in too.

I thought she had a good shot too stranger, I genuinely did, even as her mother, but I'm sure she'll reflect and be happy wherever she goes.

Must be because we are state school 😜

It was not meant to be for DD either. If I have to be honest, I am a bit relieved. She is disappointed, but hopefully will get over it. Her second choice is excellent (the course is definitely better) and I firmly believe everything happens for a reason. Congrats to all with offers!

Just so Puzzledmum. There are many upsides to not being at Oxford.

Your DD will be sad for a while questioner but that will pass.

Good News here
