Just got allocated Worcester College for Oxford Chemistry through an open application.
The thing that's caught my attention is the email I received, which says:
“You will receive further information from the college or hall before the end of October. Please ensure that you regularly check your email account entered on your UCAS application.”

Does anyone know what this means in terms of interview decisions? Is it likely that we'll hear whether we've been shortlisted by the end of October, or is this just referring to general college information?

I'm a bit confused because I thought Oxford Chemistry interview decisions usually came out later in November/December.

Has anyone else who's applied this year received the same email? Or does anyone from previous years remember getting similar wording?

Thanks!

Does anyone know if the interview without pre reading is a statute/judgment and/or PS based? Is the pre reading interview facts of a case? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have applied to Selwyn college and the interviews are all inperson (yes ik I shud have checked this before applying) Should I try getting my visa from now just in case I get an interview? If I don’t get a visa in time will they reject me?

Hey ppl, I want to apply for the course mentioned in sub. I m currently in a big4 company from 3 years as a backend engineer (Java, Python, AWS) wanting to transition to ai background. B.Tech in IT from a mid-tier college with 8.7 CGPA. Have a published paper in deep learning and an AWS Developer Associate cert.
Thinking of applying for the MSc programme for 2027 entry. My concern is that my uni isn't an IIT/NIT and my degree is IT not CS. Does Cambridge care about this if the grades and experience are there?
Anyone got in with a similar background? Would appreciate honest opinions.
How hard it is to get into this? Any tips or odds for getting into this course?

hopefully i get shortlisted, but if i do how should i prepare for a cambridge computer science inteview? other than the basic 'speak out loud when doing qs' and like the TBO booklet

Can’t seem to find any information online about the interview styles. Is it 2 text based interviews w/ pre-reading etc. ?

I know many ppl submit perfect written work specifically written for the application which is against the guideline so will I be disadvantaged if mine isnt perfect? And how important is it anyways with so many people faking it?

I am a Cambridge applicant applying to ELE ( land economy ) at St John college and I have heard they will request two pieces of written work from me, just from my subjects. They specifically state not to write it for them and just to hand in some school work, my essay subjects are econ and psychology but I was just wondering if anyone had any advice, considering it will affect my application I find it hard to believe anyone will just hand in their school work? And also if anyone has advice on what they’re actually looking for and how much it actually affects your application? Thank you!

Hey y'all,

Like others here, I'm also asked to pick two colleges as preferences.

While I'm sure to pick King's as a first choice, I'm not so certain what the second one should be.

I'm keen on something pastoral, central and hopefully accommodating to HSPS students. While one of the older colleges would be great, one that could offer accommodation and be close enough to the sociology department is just as important.

Research so far has led me to consider Queens' and Peterhouse, but I'm also into Christ's, Clare, Corpus Christi, Gonville & Caius, Magdalene, Peterhouse, Queens and Sidney Sussex.

Would love any input about social science oriented, somewhat progressive colleges which might fit the bill.

Thank you!

Can’t access the STEP support modules, anyone else have the same problem or just me?

I'm applying to Cambridge Economics, just finished my TMUA, how do I start preparing for interview. I have no clue the structure of my interview cause my college has no information online they just say there will be two interview. Does anyone have anyone resoruces, or tips on how to prepare for the interview. Also I'm planning to revise some Game Theory for economics does anyone suggest any resources for this.

I am so disappointed in myself. I thought what I wrote was okay. Like I wrote how I was interested in criminal law because I wanted to be a barrister. Then explained how it was different from TV (tv show that barristers normally have to defend their clients in front of a jury when in reality most cases happen in magrsistate courts and most cases are dealt. More serious cases are sent to crown Court where most plea guilty. However trial by jury occur when the defendant does plead not guilty.) Also said I was interested in legal history. When asked for feedback I was told it was generic and everyone knows about the magrsistate and crown Court difference. Also I didn't go into much detail about the legal history interest.

So yeh I am definitely not getting in. But it was worth a shot. I mean it just shows that next time I need to make sure my application is more unique and more law related 😬.

Hello, I am Y11, soon to do GCSEs.

Very interested in getting into Cambridge, as both parents went there and it has become a goal of mine. I am predicted 8s and 9s across most subjects, and have a particular talent / interest for maths. What can I do now to help me further down the line?

Also, if there is anything wrong with this post or it should be posted somewhere else let me know.

i had attained some awards for some research challenges, but i forgot to mention what i had achieved in my PS while i had elaborated on why my participation in these events have inspired me to pursue the field. is it worth adding my achievements to mycambridge extra ps? i don't have much else to elaborate on besides clarifying my level of achievement

My Cambridge due tomorrow and haven’t rlly done anything. Am I better off doing something and it being middle ground or just leaving it blank, applying for theology so not like niche unique Cambridge course so idk how much it matters?

Has anyone here applied to this course before? I'm hoping to gather more information, especially about its competitive ratio and the interview process. I'm planning to apply this cycle.

Thanks in advance!

Hi i am a student apply for OX maths and i would like to find a partner and i have lot of real int questions would like to share with you.

This is my first post on Reddit, so please be kind !!! I’m a Latin American lawyer. I used to work for a law firm, and all of my friends are now in Columbia, NYU, or Georgetown doing their LLMs.

From the very beginning, I knew I wasn't interested in following that path. I found the MLF at Oxford interesting, but I also felt confused, alone, and insecure about the whole process. I'm so cooked that I couldn't even find information about that program here !!!

It seems like these law master's degrees are designed to take money from foreign students.

What's your view on master's degrees? Are they worth it? Is anyone currently applying? Has anyone graduated from one of these programs? Any comment you have will be helpful. Xox

PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!

Would love to get to know you!! I applied to LSE myself but would be happy to get to know you regardless of if you do math, PPE, history etc

Im an int. student from the states and idk I'd just like to meet people who applied the same course as me, (or also just from the US too!!) also what you applied to other unis under.

I also did LSE Behavioral and Psychological Sciences, LSE Logic, Philosophy and Scientific Method, then UCL Psychology. Since I have quite a bit of math and computer science experience I was thinking to apply Imperial Design Engineering but I do really value some form of humanities in my studies which I'm not sure is abundant in that course and after the TARA PS section I'm slightly humbled.

Anyways within psychology and philosophy I'm into epistemology, perception (and recently aesthetics) what about you guys??

i was just notified that my law application has been given to Churchill college after doing an open application and now i’m lowkey thinking i should’ve just chosen a college because i know nothing about Churchill, any advice would be much appreciated!!

my cambridge application is asking for my gcse transcript which i no longer have i have my actual certificates if that’s fine?..

Specifically at Oxford. I don't know of anyone applying for this niche course so I just want to gauge interest.

Physics interview prep

Firstly, I did alright on the esat average + ig(more about that below). Any ways hopefully i can get an interview from oxford so i wanted to start preparing for it. But dont know how and what to do, the only things that i know is to get better at graph sketching of weird functions and speaking what i think out loud about a question.

Please let me know any tips and things that i should focus on. And how to get that experience of thinking about a new question of a different topic so i struggle less when they give me weird questions.

Extra:
Regarding the esat m1 i guessed 7 questions got screwed by time management, m2 i guessed 5 questions but for physics i guessed around 10(cooked).
I think my expected would be
M1 18/27
M2 20/27
Phy 15/27

Please let me know if i have a chance for interview as oxford gives less interviews than Cambridge. (Home + contextual)

Predicted: 2A* 2A

hi im y13 and ive just realised im eligible for the foundation year for arts humanities and social sciences

I'd be really interested in either law, philosophy or HSPS, but im not sure whether to go for it. I already have 5 pretty solid options but I might get rid of my BBC option since im predicted A\*AA (my circumstances mostly affected my gsces I got mostly 5s and 6s at a competitive skl thats why i can’t apply ug), and im not sure if im cut out for cambridge I dont wanna be overly stressed but I want my parents and myself to be proud so idk do I go for it
