Application went ok in the end, spent an afternoon solely devoted to t' personal statement, and all done and dusted on the wednesday or so of the week of the deadline.
Letter from Keble saying they were my preference, and said who my other choices would be (apparently they don't take much notice of your form, and give you second choices as they see fit), and told me to sit on me arse for a bit.
No exam, no work to send in, I just need to pray they give me an interview now.
I've not got an offer from anywhere else yet either, which is a bit annoying, as lots of people at school seem to have them coming through now. Bastards.
How did yours go then, heard from anywhere else? And what are they making you send in, a couple of essays or summit?
Aha! Your name is Ross. Either we didn't establish that or I forgot. Sorry :D
Yeah, Lincoln is my first choice and St Hildas and St Annes are my second and third. Apparently.
I have offers from Kent and Keele, they both want 320 points, which is ABB, or AAC or something. I've already cashed in 50 points from AS Design Tech, so I'm probably ok *fingers crossed*
Two essays. Big, huge, horrible essays. Not even on poetry, but on a novel.
We probably didn't establish my name before, as I prefer the mystery than an internet pseudonym gives me. Or something.
I can't remember what they gave me as my second choices, I think St. John's and somewhere else, even though I had Lady Margaret Hall down originally (although for no other reason than it has a cool name).
I've applied to UCL, Imperial, Bristol, Durham and Sheffield as well. I just want to know, whether I'm getting any interviews or offers or whatnot. I'm not good at just sitting and waiting for stuff to happen.
And we have practice interview things at school next week, I think a vet's doing mine, which should be interesting.
And well done on getting those offers. What are your predicted gradey things? \;d
Hehehe... Lady Margaret Hall! You might meet my friend Katie if you both get interviews! Which would be... strange. Since I commented last I had two more offers :P Sussex and Portsmouth. Sussex want AAB, Portsmouth want BCC! Crazy stuff. I'm past caring now, I just want to know if I have an interview.
Booked my practical driving test today for the 17th of February. Which is exciting. And at £20 a lesson I'd better pass. Going to go see Biffy Clyro on the 26th of February in Southampton, so maybe if I pass I can drive most of the way down there and save some monies.
I miss our interview practice because it's over the time I might have my interview for Oxford. Good timing. Hah.
Did you have an exam to do? Or send work? I have to send in work and it's getting pretty stressful.
Hope you're ok!
Meg ♥

Where else did you apply, Ross? Sorry.
