Oxford aspirants part 5......the wait is over the results are in!!

[TangoWhiskyAlphaTango]

Thought I would start a new thread as its likely to fill up quick now.

So here we are after many months of applications, assessments and interviews. The wait is finally over for those with DC who have applied to Oxford. Those with Cambridge applicants have another 2 weeks to wait until the 25th Jan (bummer!!)

You have all been a lovely bunch to share this journey with and I wish your dc nothing but the BEST OF LUCK for tomorrow (and the 25th).

Congrats @Whatsinaname321 to your son

@Whatsinaname321 wow fantastic news! Massive well done to your ds 👏👏👏

@SandyBayley there was a maths teacher who made an unhelpful comment re Cambridge STEP - wonder if the same one!

Congratulations everyone!!

Hurray MFL and Proggy !!!
My dd had nightmares all night and is too scared to look at her emails yet.

whatsinaname123 brilliant news - you must be so proud - congratulations to your DS.

And such happy news whatsinaname delighted for your ds.

Just so I know, do rejection emails come this morning too or is it a case of if you haven't got an offer on UCAS by lunchtime you can assume it's a no?

Rejection emails are usually sent at the same time as offers by each college. Occasionally a college sends rejections ahead of offers. No college will simply not respond.

DC's quasi-military operation to get themself into Oxford remains on track, offer has just been received!
Next step is to make sure they actually manage to get the grades. Not a given, considering half their lessons are cancelled at the moment.

DC got a rejection, so I can confirm they are being sent this am. DC has some great offers already so although it's not nice to be rejected, they are ok.

Congratulations to everyone who went through this process.

I've found you all! Congratulations to those with offers and commiserations to those without.

Dd has an offer ! I can’t quite take it in.
She is very young, turned 17 a couple of weeks ago, so I am hugely proud of her.

Big congrats to DC of @ProggyMat @Whatsinaname321 and @SirVixofVixHall
Commiserations to @Gottasinggottadance

DD got an offer!

She already had a choral scholarship but I kept quiet about it because not wanting to tempt fate. She's got an offer from the same college. I'm over the moon for her.

Good luck to those still nail-biting...

@Gottasinggottadance sorry to hear that - I'm sure it will be disappointing and upsetting now but hopefully that will fade quickly.

@SirVixofVixHall Congrats! Very exciting. I can't remember what she applied for???

I am getting absolutely no work done. Think DS will be out of his exam by now ...

Very well done to another member of your extraordinary family pantjog!

Congratulations to all with positive news and sympathy to those who’ve not had good news.

My DD is still in her Mocks until 11.10 Nail biting for the rest of us in the house so just hope she can focus better than us!

And she's never arrogant about it all, she's properly nice. Gutted for her.

@Theamazingshrinkingwoman
Sorry to hear that. It is just about the most competitive thing to apply for though. My kids are very little, but I went to Oxford - did PPE but later became a lawyer. It's not for everyone, but I do know plenty of people who applied a second time, often for a different subject, and then got in, although it's obviously a risk. I'm sure she'll do well whatever with all the things she's got going. (I'm dyslexic too!).

Congratulations on everyone who got offer!
Sympathy to whom without.

We’re still waiting. Is there anyone experienced no news from
O until 11am?

I know she will be fine but not today!

They can still offer straight Law and they did ask her at interview if she would be interested.

SHE GOT AN OFFER!!!!

@SandyBayley

SHE GOT AN OFFER!!!!

OMGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! How bloody marvelous! Your must be so so proud! Now breathe!!
