just to ur reference: Uzbekistan is a sunny country! It is a lot hotter than Siberia :)

Yes. I emailed the faculty asking for my status. Plus, the reply contained the "your college may not be your first choice college".


I believe that implies your placement in Siberia College or Uzbekistan College. I hear it's a long and snowy trek from the law building.

I was going to ask you the same thing!

Originally, I was all for Cam but I'm indecisive at the best of times so I have to say this has put the cat amongst the pigeons. Looking at both courses options I could easily pick four I was interested in so I may take some time to decide. I should be visiting in a few weeks though so maybe I will know after that. If we were given college information for either, that might help! lol

What about you?!

Hey Everyone. Congratulations to those who got the offers that they were looking for.

Now onto my question. I just got an email from Oxford confirming that my application for admission was successful and there are no conditions. FYI - I'm from Canada and haven't gotten a physical letter yet, so maybe this is all that I get in this regard. I digress. At the very bottom of the email, after the signature block, are the words, "College: LINC". Does this mean that I have been accepted into Lincoln College, or simply that my application is going to be considered by Lincoln? Lincoln was my second choice on my application. Anyone else see something like this on their offer letters?

Received the offical letter as well by e-mail. Bottom: College: Christ Church. ChCh was my first choice but I think it just means that your application is forwarded to a college for review

This appears on the physical letter as well. Mine says Keble, which is my first choice but as the letter states:

"Your application will now be considered by a college"

and that:

"In due course you will receive a letter from a college informing you of its offer"

I'd imagine that it is just where the app is being sent first of all. I guess we wont know until college decisions appear.

just to ur reference: Uzbekistan is a sunny country! It is a lot hotter than Siberia :) /blockquote>

Yes, indeed. However, it also has some of the best skiing known to humankind in the mountains on the Siberia side, according to one of my Russian friends who is a skier. I confess, though, that I have never visited Uzbekistan. Perhaps it will be on my itinerary one day.

Sadly, I doubt that more than 1 percent of my fellow Americans would be able to pinpoint Uzbekistan on the map. For that matter, most would not be able to identify Afghanistan, Pakistan, or any other stan on the map.

I agree. I just got the official offer by email, which came five minutes after I emailed Ms. Malloy, and said College:MERT at the bottom. I'm thrilled.
This forum was a lifesaver and helped me try to maintain my sanity while waiting. Good luck to all of you who are still waiting!!

Well, it's good that u are still in doubt, S. ! It will ensure u make a good and solid decision. As has been said a 1000 times before: they are both very good ! So take your time, think things over, talk to people and u will do the right thing !
In your place I would have a hard time deciding too as I feel the BCL is equal to (or maybe better than) the BCL. As I applied to the MJur my choice is easier and I will take Cam..

I am still waiting for those damn Cam conditions. I now know my Ox condition (completion of my current degree) but would very much like to find out the cam one too !

For those who are interested: my offer said Merton College which was my first choice too...

Thanks a lot ! And you are very welcome !
I am sure your offer is coming very soon. I was right the last time too about Cam :)

Last few days have been hectic on the offer front. People hearing from Ox and some from Cam as well.

For all those still waiting for either of both: best of luck. Don't give up, things can change quickly !!

Exactly right Cedric, I don't really fall into that group thinking one is so much better than the other- they are both great courses to study and where ever we end up, I'm sure it will be quite a year! I'm glad a few people are heading to Cam though- a decent split will mean good company is assured where ever I go!

Good luck Iustitia, I'm sure you'll hear good things soon enough!
