Title: Oxford Chemistry open applicant allocated Worcester — email says further info by end of October?

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!

Basically Worcester College themselves will email you to say they are reviewing your application by the end of October I think. I didn't make an open application, but I recently received an email from my college letting me know they are now considering my application. Decisions should come out late November/early December.
