DD IS IN !!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t believe it!!!!!

Jano69 · 12/01/2021 09:54

Well done @IrmaFayLear - terrific news!

BigWoollyJumpers · 12/01/2021 09:54

DD rejected too Jano69 for History.

She is not too upset, finally she knows. DH sad, as he will have to travel the extra couple of hours to Exeter! Hoping DD can get on with her driving lessons asap.

Can someone else therefore start another thread? Thanks to all. I will now trot over to the general thread, but will keep popping in here to follow everyone else's progress.

Fabulous Irma!

So much for grumpy tutor at college # 2.

Well done her.

BigWoollyJumpers · 12/01/2021 09:56

@IrmaFayLear

DD IS IN !!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t believe it!!!!!

Well done Irma's DD. You now have a full house!
IrmaFayLear · 12/01/2021 09:56

Those who have been redirected - Sad but if they feel up for it (later on) take heart from my ds who gave it a second go and found it much easier all round.

bendmeoverbackwards · 12/01/2021 09:56

Well done to your dd @IrmaFayLear great news.

@BigWoollyJumpers sorry to hear your news and glad your dd is ok. My dd also has an offer from Exeter.

Not sure what to say to dd when she finally emerges.

IrmaFayLear · 12/01/2021 09:58

Dd was pooled and didn’t have a particularly good second interview at the next college, but was offered at her first college Confused

summerlovinn · 12/01/2021 09:58

Congratulations to all those with offers! A no for DD, but she's relieved as this takes the pressure off of A*AA and she can hopefully go to UCL (or Imperial, who still haven't replied!)
Thank you for being such a supportive bunch :)

Jano69 · 12/01/2021 09:59

Oh dear @BigWoollyJumpers - not good news for our history boys and girls this morning. I shall also be joining you on the other thread but will still hang on here too! Speaking from experience, the first Oxbridge journey for us parents is definitely the hardest.

goodbyestranger · 12/01/2021 10:00

In that case she wasn't pooled Irma, she was being sent around via computer for moderation.

IrmaFayLear · 12/01/2021 10:04

Oxford works in mysterious ways...

Revengeofthepangolins · 12/01/2021 10:05

Another no for history

bendmeoverbackwards · 12/01/2021 10:06

So sorry @Revengeofthepangolins looks like History has been tough this year.

Chocomel · 12/01/2021 10:06

Here's a new one.

(First threat I've ever started so I was too nervous to make a shiny fancy title!)

Revengeofthepangolins · 12/01/2021 10:10

Yes. indeed. There a lot of historians about this year it seems, on MN at least

Oneofthosedreadfulparents · 12/01/2021 10:16

My son is torturing me from his room. Texted that he's received the email, but is not opening it until the end of his current lesson.

(Sorry, been lurking!)

LaundryFairy · 12/01/2021 10:16

It's a yes for DS at the college he was pooled to.

Just catching up on everyone's news.Congratulations to @Chocomel , @whiteroseredrose and @IrmaFayLear DC and wishes for great redirections to @Revengeofthepangolins , @Jano69 , @bendmeoverbackwards , @BigWoollyJumpers and @summerlovinn DC.

They are all such amazing people to have made it this far and very bright futures await.

goodbyestranger · 12/01/2021 10:20

Good news for History at last LaundryFairy - well done to your DS! I think you said he liked the second college?

Sorry to hear that so many other history applicants haven't had the same good news.

beethecrackon24995 · 12/01/2021 10:26

My dd has just told me her friend has just received an offer for history. She is thrilled for her especially as this friend has no confidence according to dd

Chocomel · 12/01/2021 10:26

Ok. New thread in right place.

MatureStudent21 · 12/01/2021 10:42

Congratulations @Chocomel!

MatureStudent21 · 12/01/2021 10:45

Congratulations @whiteroseredrose

@Jano69 @Eastisup and @bendmeoverbackwards - I hope you and the dc are okay. It’s disappointing news, but they were all amazing to get this far x
