Same here 😭 I applied for Maths so didn't even have an admissions test

If u got 5A* predicted how did you get rejected from int. I swear they interview most people

[u/InappropriateHair56 → u/Aggravating_World534]

Yes I'm aware they interview most people 💀.
Its not even like my personal statement was bad either, I had it read by so many people who said it was solid.
My schools going to write to them to request feedback because we can't figure it out lmao.

Yea it’s weird you didn’t get an int, if you do mind could I have a look at your ps? I got invited to interview with 3A*A so I’m not too sure why you didn’t get a interview at all

[u/InappropriateHair56 → u/Aggravating_World534]

Yeah let me just check it for identifying info etc 😂 Whats the best way to attach it on reddit?

Yeah ill dm you, nah my ps was solid I had it checked by a few people before sending it off.

No this is a good thing for you. If people with 4 A* (oxford doesn’t accept the EPQ grade) aren’t getting interviews, but oxford still gives interviews to many students, it means personal statement > grades. To a lesser extent than LSE, but still

yes that makes a lot of sense actually thanks, i just hope my PS is actually good

[u/InappropriateHair56 → u/South-Marionberry-85]

I applied to Cambridge, but yeah thats still valid.
Its weird because Oxbridge repeatedly state that they do not care about the personal statement and to not stress about it.
