New thread for us, lots of lovely support whilst we wait. Some of our lovely DC now have interview dates whilst the rest of us hold our breath and try not to hassle our teens into checking their SPAM folders at least several times per day Grin.

Has anyone's child not yet heard about whether or not they have an interview? My DD has applied for joint English/french and just hasn't heard, whereas everyone else she knows has heard

@Eightytwenty

DS has the HAA on Monday. Same for your DC *@Geamhradh*?

Interview in on 7 Dec. When is your DC’s @Piggywaspushed?

No, from this year (apparently) there isn't one for Kings'. (I just ran in like loon and said "have you got a test on Monday?!!) Grin Congratulations to all interviewees and commiserations to all those who need them. I love the letter posted by pp (sorry, name has slipped my mind) thank you for sharing it. Flowers

I agree completely. It was never meant to mean that those who get offered places don’t deserve them. The numbers of applicants are huge and what I hoped people would get from my post was that wherever people end up they can still do brilliantly.

@Xanum - my DD also heard yesterday about an interview for New (Maths). She made an open application. No date yet.

Xanum · 27/11/2021 18:52

Hello! Yep, Maths. Open application too! Harry Potter College!

Puffalicious · 27/11/2021 20:08

Still not heard a peep- Maths Oxford.

Xanum · 27/11/2021 20:25

No news is good news 🤞🤞🤞

carben · 27/11/2021 20:33

On the spreadsheet there's quite a few maths interviews coming out for Lady Margaret Hall now so I think this is the start for maths. New College must have just been one of the really early colleges.

Xanum · 27/11/2021 20:41

@carben @Puffalicious sounds about right. And we had an open application so might be why we heard early 🤷‍♀️

My daughter heard about chemistry yesterday afternoon - she has an interview. A few of her friends still waiting to hear about English .

carben · 27/11/2021 20:59

@Xanum what A'Levels is your DS doing? My DD is doing maths, further maths, physics and computer science at a non-leafy comprehensive- no grammar schools.

Xanum · 27/11/2021 21:10

@carben DS is doing Maths, Further Maths, Physics & Biology at a kinda leafy FE College. All State.

NinaProudman2022 · 27/11/2021 21:45

The sentiment is obvious from your post @Letsgoforaskip.

Thank you

Letsgoforaskip · 27/11/2021 21:47

Darbs76 · 27/11/2021 21:49

@MrsElijahMikaelson1 - still waiting to hear from Worcester college re Maths. My DS thought it would be next week anyway

Does anyone have a link to the student room spreadsheet mentioned?

Xanum · 27/11/2021 21:55
