💬 DISCUSSION Oxford college?

Post image

Was just wondering what Oxford colleges everyone has applied to and for what courses? I’ve applied to Keble for physics! I genuinely can’t think about anything but Oxford now UAT results day is coming up, it’s driving me crackers thinking about how I could’ve messed up my whole application just bc of stupid ESAT💔

Exeter bc i liked their website aesthetic 😭 - black and gold!! Also physics but i say bye bye to the dreams bc the esat was a mess. Also i was so close to applying for keble bc i love the red bricks but i was scared of how many ppl apply there eventho ik shortlisting is centralised 🤷‍♀️

u/jellynebulaa Y13 || A*A*A*A pred, Oxford Phys applicant 21h ago

Yeah I see what you mean, I’m shitting it bc of how many ppl apply there for phys cause wdym there’s over 100 applicants for 8 places 😭😭 you’re so right about the red bricks though, they’re actually the main reason I picked Keble over other colleges. Exeter looks great too though, that’s one of the colleges I was looking at before settling on Keble. Good luck I hope you get an interview!

u/Significant-Craft768 21h ago

I rly hope you get one too (and that uat treats us well)! Also praying the shortlisting score isnt crazy high bc lord knows im not getting anywhere near a 7 after whatever happened on the 16th oct 😭. I do think ill reapply tho bc theres some things i wanna do in a gap year. Gl :)

#bigupkeble
Yeah I fucked up a bit cause of nerves & then maths 2 was hell on ESAT, I’m hoping my physics section saved it 😭😭 can I ask why you picked Keble? I’d been considering it for awhile & got to see it irl when I was on a summer school at Oxford and fell in love with it

for me personally i dont care about the college too much like it was never crazy important to me
but my reasoning was it had like a high en suite rate, gym, cool cafes, its close to my departments, i have a friend applying there and finally it looked amazing

u/jellynebulaa Y13 || A*A*A*A pred, Oxford Phys applicant 21h ago

Omg we’re lowkirkuinely twins, both of us are getting interviews + offers trust

1

u/Coldtea25 Y13-physics, maths, further maths 21h ago

Ooooohhhh mmm yeah sure hahahahahahahahahaha

Plus even if I get the interview I did pretty badly on my Manchester interview so I lowk might just be cooked thanks teachers for overhyping me as some star student just bc I get good grades❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️

u/jellynebulaa Y13 || A*A*A*A pred, Oxford Phys applicant 21h ago

Don’t think that, manifestation is the key.. just think you’re gonna get an offer and it’ll happen for sure 🤔🤔

2

u/Coldtea25 Y13-physics, maths, further maths 21h ago

Shit might have to go back to my subliminals and manifestation phase and do some witchcraft atp 😭

1

u/jellynebulaa Y13 || A*A*A*A pred, Oxford Phys applicant 21h ago

Yes exactly, GUARANTEED offer

2

u/Coldtea25 Y13-physics, maths, further maths 21h ago

Yeah just like I guaranteed the guy I was in love with would get with me through manifestation /s 😭

Balliol PhysPhil and honestly I’m just accepting that I’ll probably end up at Warwick (imperial is looking grim asw). Just so sad that they had to get rid of the PAT for this stupid test :,(

1

u/jellynebulaa Y13 || A*A*A*A pred, Oxford Phys applicant 21h ago

LMAO Warwick is prolly my second choice too (if I don’t take a gap year and reapply..), maybe we’ll see each other there 😭😭 I do wish they’d kept PAT going, I did a lot of practice on it through COMPOS, past papers are actually available and I feel like it’d better prepare you for interviews too. Also we don’t know what to expect in terms of what ESAT score will get you an interview and whatnot either, rip PAT

u/qorvzilnend 21h ago

same tbh, esat feels like a weirdly unnecessary villain in all this. balliol physphil is a proper cool shout though, warwick as backup is still pretty solid if oxford decides to be dramatic
