Congrats @321zyx, good to know History interview invites are finally trickling through. DD is still waiting....

FlyingSquid · 30/11/2020 15:20

History is a tough one, so well done to your DS!

DD still waiting (Languages, bit of an unexpected one in our heavily science-biased family, and god knows what went into her PS in the end...)

Baaaahhhhh · 30/11/2020 15:23

@321zyx

Fingers crossed to all those still waiting to hear. I'm pleased to report DS has an interview for History (Oxford), it came through this morning.

DD went for a walk to ease the tension........ she's got her interview email (History Oxford) yay! She phoned from the deep dark woods. She is so pleased.

Wow this thread has moved on so much in the last few days! Congratulations to those with interviews, commiserations to those who have been re-directed and fingers crossed for the few who are still waiting!!

Those with interviews, how do your dc feel? Now the shock is wearing off I’m just overcome with worry that I’ll be awful and torpedo my chances of an offer - I can’t seem to remember anything that I’ve been doing to prepare or any of my wider reading Blush
