Same here, just got a letter from St Hugh's. I've never heard anything about this college, so I have no idea whether this is good or bad news. If anybody knows anything about St Hugh's I'd be grateful for info.

Hello, I read some info on all colleges: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/Oxford_College_Pros_and_Cons#St_John.27s_College
check this. Keble and St. Hugh's is above (sorry, was reading on St. John's - I was offered a place there).

Hey, Helldis_sajren! Congratulate you with St. John's college!!!:) it's a great one! One of the best! I also applied for it but didn't receive an answer... Probably they rejected me:( When did you receive your answer from St. John's college?

Thank you, AlinaSV!!! I am very excited :-) well, maybe they just didn't send a letter to you yet, cause my offer was stated in the scholarship offer letter - they just said I was offered a place in St. John's. Hope it's not a mistake!:-)

To anyone who ends up at a College they didn't put as their preference:
Don't worry. Almost everyone enjoys their Oxford and college experience regardless of which college they end up at. You'll be sent piles of information from your college over the next 5-6 months, but if you want to start looking for information may I suggest-
-The wikipedia page for each College is usually quite good
-Google and find the MCR (postgrad students club) webpage for the College
-Google-Image search for photos of the College.

I've received a letter from the colleges today (dated 11 April) - I am given a place at Keble College. I'm not familiar with the Oxbridge college system - is this a nice allocation? I picked Magdalen on my application form but apparently I wasn't one of their acceptees.

keble is not bad at all, one of the largest colleges in oxford, and in a nice location directly opposite university parks. it's around a 15 minute walk to faculty/lectures. it's got v distinctive architecture: you either love it or hate it. i'm sure you'll love it :) have a great time.

Hi Helldis_sajren, congrats!!

May I ask whether you received your scholarship offer letter by registered/insured mail?

Thank you, Perrier-Jouet!

No, only a copy of it by email yet, as far as I know they have sent it by mail (although don't know if its regular mail or registered)

Hi all,

I've been accepted to both Cambridge and Oxford and recently received a letter of offer from St-Hilda's (my first choice was Wadham). Does this mean that Wadham rejected me?

Also, the deadline specified in my Oxford offer is April 29th, that is in TWO day. I find this incredibly early! I haven't heard back from scholarships or even received my official letter from Cambridge yet. I really don't know what to do at this point....would accepting Oxford's offer and then later backing out of it be considered terribly bad form? Thanks.

I don't think it would be the worst to accept Oxford's offer, even if you are still not sure.

Have you received the official letter for Oxford already? I was accepted, but I didn't receive an official letter, nor a college offer yet.

Have you all heard back from colleges?

Thanks!

I think you should accept the Oxford offer, even if you're not sure. I know of people in previous years who have accepted offers from both Oxford and Cambridge, and then made a decision later on down the track as to which one to choose. It's a bit more difficult to turn down the offer once you've accepted it (as I think you also need to notify the College), but not impossible. To be honest, I think they probably expect it - they've had the same system for years.

If you genuinely don't know at this point in time which University you'd prefer, then I think for your own sake you'd be better off accepting both of them.

has anyone got an email regarding the college membership?

are some colleges taking more time to deliver decisions than the others?

I still haven't heard anything (my preference was St John's). According to the grad prospectus, it could be as late as early June before we hear.

Has anybody heard from BALLIOL College?

definitely accept everything and decide yourself later. You have earned the right to do this an it is not bad form. Don't let any jealous posters on here tell you otherwise. When you reject one of them it will be offered to someone else don't worry about that.

Why would you think Cambridge had higher admittance standards than Oxford? Oxford's BCL course is generally more highly regarded than Cambridge's LLM, so I would expect they would get more applicants and therefore could afford to be more selective.
