Oxbridge 2024 Entry Part 5

[YouOKHun]

Good Luck everyone whatever the outcome!

It’s a no for DD. Good to finally be able to focus on elsewhere!

DD has an offer from Christ's. It's good to know, one way or the other! Just got to get the grades now.... Commiserations to those without offers - there are plenty of other brilliant universities.

So sorry to hear about the 'no's' (we were there with O) and for those pooled, it must feel very unlucky. It's gutting for the dc (and us) but two weeks on you'll hopefully find they have moved, or are starting to move on and get excited about their other options.

Reminder about the redirection support thread if you want to join us.

Oh @Rollergirl11 I'm sorry to hear that. And others.
Congrats to those with offers. It will be a very long wait til after lunchtime when DD gets home.

@prettycosmos that’s awesome. Normally that college allocation would be the other way round! Congrats to your DD 🙌

Congratulations!

sorry to hear that, but she has some excellent offers from other universities and she will shine.

Commiserations. An offer from Durham is excellent!

DD’s read the email fully now. She has been put in to the August reconsideration pool but I doubt she will want to do that. Best to crack on with her other options.

Excellent news @CatBumJuice !! Well done your DD!

I hadn’t realised there was an August pool till now just the winter pool 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well done @prettycosmos DD and what a relief it’s not hanging over you for your Dad’s funeral.

Pooled then rejected for DS (MML). That’s exactly what happened to his sister two years ago so a nice bit of parity in our house at least! He fine to be honest as he has a Durham offer he’s really happy about. A little dint in the pride but that will soon be forgotten about.

What excellent news at such a difficult time for you all. Congratulations!

Congrats to your DD, Jesus is a great college and DD who did apply to Newnham and got it was surprised when she looked at the stats how competitive it was, it was one of the hardest colleges to get into for her subject. She has some lovely friends at Jesus she made through the ADC.

So despite what everyone thought looks like most are getting informed via an email from their college? Not UCAS?

A no here as well, she was pooled then not picked up. Oh well, she has some other great offers she is very keen on so at least we can move forward with more certainty now.
Good luck to everyone else waiting, congrats to those with offers and all the best to those who havent got in, I'm sure they will all do amazingly no matter where they go x

Does anyone know if offers and rejections are sent out at the same time?

DS has an offer from Caius. Sorry to those who have not been lucky.

It’s a no for us. I’m so proud of him as he lost his Dad in September, so it was a massive thing to go through all of this process whilst grieving. It does takes the pressure away a little now as his other offers are lower grades.

congrats to all those with offers!

Well done to those with offers and big hugs for those without.
It’s a No here. DS is a bit deflated but has a few peers to commiserate with. He’s waiting to hear from 3 choices so lots of possibilities still.

Congrats to the DC with offers and commiserations to those without.
My DS has just text to let me know he has been rejected. Says he's okay though, which is good!

Congratulations to everyone on offers and sending hugs to those who have been redirected. DS2 says he isn't checking his emails until after his interview at UCL so it is going to be a long day.

It’s a no here for my DC (HSPS). Sad for them but it was kind of expected.

massive congrats to those with a yes and hugs to those who are disappointed

Jaxx I was routing for your son.

He will be fine though, I know he will want to go elsewhere but it would be cool if our boys could hook up at UCL.

Take it easy today. Processing this will take a little bit of time.

Congratulations to those with offers and commiserations to those who have been re-directed.
