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?

He

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

S

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.

Hi guys! I just got my acceptance from oxford...an email from paul burns....relieved since i had not got any acceptance from any of my colleges till now!! Yay! See you guys at oxford!!

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.

congrats for your Ox offers!!! :))))
Cedric, I have to congratulate you namely, since you have been such a good friend and so supportive for the past few months ;)
Still no news for me though...
good luck to those who are still waiting!

Hey Cedric and S_Dimelow, congratulations on your offers..

S_Dimelow, the timing couldn't have been worse..it was just a case of a few minutes (may be an hour).. :)

Cedric, how about it then.. choosing Cambridge or last minute change of heart..?

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!
