Struggling here too. DP is really unwell today (cancer) so feeling exceptionally frazzled.

Sorry to hear this @WobblyLondoner, it's a very stressful time but doubly so for you. We should all know soon now either way.

lullubell · 09/01/2024 09:26

Sorry to hear that @WobblyLondoner hope you get some good news today

MirandaWest · 09/01/2024 09:26

The student room has had a flurry of rejections

I’m trying to get work done and failing. Even more difficult as I resigned before Christmas so in my notice period!

Totally distracted here too. We haven't told anyone at work about ds applying but there are a couple of family what's app messages asking 'has he heard yet'!

Oh @WobblyLondoner I’m so sorry to read this. It seems a bit frivolous worrying about a place at O when there is so much going on otherwise. Much love to you. 2023 was a bloody awful year for our family so I’m hoping 2024 starts off better, and I wish the same for yours 💐

TooOldForThisNonsense · 09/01/2024 09:27

I don’t have an Oxbridge applicant but I can only imagine the stress. Exam results day on stilts I guess! Good luck everyone. And if it’s not the news your YP wants, it doesn’t define them and they’re still amazing.

Blutides · 09/01/2024 09:27

It’s a yes here! So relieved after a bad interview out of the two, was totally unexpected
good luck to everyone

Brilliant news Blutide, many congratulations. First one off the block!

TenSheds · 09/01/2024 09:29

Offer here! 🥳
From the second college who interviewed her. Notified by a personal call from one of the interviewing tutors on the way to school. Huge relief and elation all round. Sending positive thoughts to everyone still waiting, and anyone with unrelated challenges @WobblyLondoner

Congratulations @Blutides and @TenSheds 🥳

Nice touch @TenSheds, getting a personal call. Many congratulations to your dd!

lullubell · 09/01/2024 09:31

@TenSheds wow a personal call that's a lovely touch. Amazing news

InvestedButNotOverinvested · 09/01/2024 09:31

Well done @Blutides @TenSheds

DD is in a mock until after 10:30am, so definitely won’t hear anything before then.

mushroom3 · 09/01/2024 09:33

Congratulations to @Blutides and @TenSheds DC !

catmomof3 · 09/01/2024 09:35

Gosh. Congrats all. Definitely seems to be dribbling out by college rather than ucas then

RIPMatthewperry · 09/01/2024 09:43

@Gingercatlover congratulations! (You might want to edit your post though as it is quite identifying)

Jaxx · 09/01/2024 09:43

Best of luck again to you all. I am imagining what you are going through and given the amount of times I have checked this thread and the reddit and tsr spreadsheets it does not bode well for the 24th!

Congrats to those already with offers and hoping for the best for you wobblylondiner ❤️

Revengeofthepangolins · 09/01/2024 09:43

Am trying to imagine DS2's classes if the ucas drop was the method, with up to a third of each humanities class getting alerts simultaneously. I guess it would at least get the agony over

MirandaWest · 09/01/2024 09:46

Congratulations all those with offers!

Newgirls · 09/01/2024 09:46

Do they really get phone calls? That sounds tricky with mocks today for so many. Or is that quite rare?
