Oxbridge 2024 Entry Part 3

[Lightsabre]

New thread as Part 2 about to fill.

Thanks Stoney I can get into that though its a bit hard to use with no filter function and I am just getting one interview for E&M coming up but its someone who claims to have 8 A stars at A levels already not impossible but am a bit sceptical and then another one at the end is a rejection and rest are awaiting. Though I might have missed some.

I think that spreadsheet has various exaggerations of the truth (if I am being charitable). It’s also very difficult to follow as many people have just put that they applied and so it’s difficult to follow what’s been put.

I’ve been looking at this. You can sort the columns alphabetically so I’ve been looking at Physics. If you sort the Outcome column A-Z then it shows all invites, rejections and waiting in that order.

@mushroom3 Maths interview invitations came out the equivalent of next week, last year with interviews in mid December so it may be a few more days to wait yet. Fingers crossed for good news for you!

Thanks Dummy Yes sorting it alphabetically works and helps - only one interview offer from someone who claims to have 8 A stars at A level, and 80 plus on TSA (this years results aren't out until Jan and even if you could take it a year before why would you not just give score rather than 80 plus) and he can't even put capitals in correct places on college name. I'm sceptical and also saying a contextual offer. 1 rejection looks plausible from today which is at 4 A stars.

Waiting on History at O here following what was felt to be a tricky HAT…. Still have fingers crossed for a positive outcome but it’s been a shitty week so not I’m holding my breath 😭

Have heard of History at C interview, plus PPE at O (both rejection and an interview offer and both were equally talented)

Congratulations to all the DC who have secured interviews - amazing achievement 👏

I'm loving seeing all the interviews come through, congrats! We are still waiting to hear and so is DD's friends. I told her to stop checking her emails for tonight as nobody in admissions is sending emails out at 7pm lol.

Just invited for a PPE interview at Oxford

@EleanorSidgwick congratulations & has that just landed in the email? Either admissions are working or they send out via a scheduler.

I'm intrigued about the process as can't imagine how they diligently review applications or do they have clever software?? Do they need two people to check in case of errors??

DD received final details of her first interview at 7.30am today (had heard from her college a while ago) - so seems extended days are happening to get the schedules sorted

@ShanghaiDiva that's great news re: your DD!

Either our DC did better than they thought on the NSAA - or everyone did equally badly

I’ve just heard from DD that a friend has got a History interview. Sounds like humanities are coming out. Perhaps there will be a flood tomorrow - would be nice not to spend the weekend wondering.

No news yet for DD. Expect it's imminent now. LSE also no response but they reject first and offer from Feb. Bristol is only other one applied to and that's on hold as she has to send further form and also very recently applied there.

@Pleasealexa the email came at lunchtime but he didn't tell me until this evening

Apparently the girl with the E&M rejection had 4 A stars predicted and heard 5pm tonight. Another from same college same subject not heard.

Lots of lovely interview invites on the thread today 🥳

DD still waiting, seems quite relaxed about it. I think that while the course is definitely her favourite, she is a bit ambivalent about Oxford. Hopefully that will mean she's not too disappointed if rejection comes in the next few days.

Thanks @BackToWhereItAllBegan

DS has an interview!!!!!!!!!

The boy who school refused the whole of high school and was trying to kill himself at 10, and who I was told would have terrible outcomes by CAMHS has a f**king Oxford interview!!!!!!

Happy happy tears this morning!

I am so proud of my resilient/ hard working boy!

@lifeturnsonadime Massive congrats to your DS, such an achievement and wishing him the best of luck.

@lifeturnsonadime how fantastic! Great news and I'm sure will be inspiring to others!

@lifeturnsonadime yay! So very happy for him.

@lifeturnsonadime 🎉

Anyone heard about medicine at Oxford? Asking for a friend! My son got offered an interview for Classics yesterday x

Nope my DD's best friend is also waiting on medicine and she's not heard anything yet,

@lifeturnsonadime Congrats!!!!
