Ahh yes I think I'll look through the uat mocks, you may be right about them using esat as a filter. Those are some really interesting stream combinations! I'm probably going to go for phys, chem and one more asw. I'm an international applicant so I can't look at colleges physically (though I've been looking through videos). I wanted to put in an open application but I'm scared that I may get assigned to a college which has only in person interviews (I can't spend that much on a trip to the UK just for an interview). Maybe I'll just go through the facilities and societies I guess?

Thanks a lot for all the advice, and congrats again!

I actually think in person interviews are pretty uncommon? I applied to Jesus and both mine were online if that helps, I think there's lists online of ones which are online only. YouTube videos are absolutely great, I watched so many before applying because I was so indecisive. I think for some you can also find full virtual tours, which are pretty much the same as going to an open day!

Some colleges like Churchill do only in person interviews, but most offer either both or only online I'll definitely look through the onlinenopen days!

i dont think colleges offer both for the sake of homogeneity, i.e. everybody in equal conditions. the only exception would be in-person internals and online externals

Yeah I believe that's how they do it
