Oxbridge applicants 2026 - thread 2

[ArchitectureMum]

Someone has to be the OP and I have no fate to tempt now in this journey.

Congratulations to all the Oxford offer holders. Some lovely stories yesterday afternoon.

Comiserations to those who had different news yesterday. I hope your DC are doing ok and beginning to look positively towards their other options.

Good luck to everyone waiting for news from Cambridge on 28th January.

And hello to all the Oxbridge observers - alumni, parents of past and future applicants. It is always a thread of highs and lows and it was a privilege to be a small part of it for this cycle.

Wishing everyone luck. I'm so nervous for DD. She's got a gruelling 5 hours of exams today (2 separate topics) with just 20 mins lunch break in the middle. I hope she can power through.

I really feel for those with 2 exams on one day! Brutal. Good luck all.

So far so good for dd after a very rocky first exam. Nice long break now until the next one.

Yes best of luck to all your DC. Mine starts quite late so she's just trying to keep up momentum at the moment. I so hope it works out for her and all of them - they've worked so hard to get this far, it'd be gutting to miss the grades but you just never know with exams.

My Instagram is showing me Oxford graduations- do they finish super early in their final year?

@Treviarpelli- there are graduations all year round. You pick a slot that works for you. DS1 and DD graduated in the September after their June finals.
