Congrats to all those who have received interview invites today! Still waiting to hear about Physics, but DS did get an offer from Exeter today which he is very happy about :-)

losingtheplot999 · 24/11/2023 16:40

Congratulations to everyone that has received an interview. DS still waiting to hear from Cambridge but his friend was rejected today.

So glad your DS’s offers have stared to cone through as he seems to have been waiting a while!

@mummylife123 no we are still waiting here!! Trying to have patience but failing!

WellBellShell · 24/11/2023 17:30

My son had an email from Cambridge re maths application.
Apparently the process of shortlisting for interview has been delayed due to illness.
They will try and let people know next week as interviews are the following week 4-8 Dec

Well it is after 6 so I may crack open some wineWink Ds has a rare night out tomorrow (not a party person) and dh and I celebrated 27 years married (yikes) this week so I think we'll go out for a meal to celebrate.

Great for there to be so much good news on interviews. Many congratulations to @Silkiefloof, @catmomof3, @cx5, @Lightsabre, @notfeelingcreative, @Revengeofthepangolins, @Gingercatlover,@Pleasealexa,@lullubell & @DSandDD !

We were informed last Friday that my son would be interviewed (needed to for admission test) and would be informed when this week. They finally confirmed it is on the 7th December just after 5pm this evening!

Lightsabre · 24/11/2023 18:23

So many invites today and hopefully more next week for the languages, maths, medicine and cs applicants. Fingers crossed for you @mummylife123. The waiting is the worst part I think.

The spreadsheets on the student room are filling up and are a useful early spot to see if the chosen college and/or subject has released invites.
