You said just yesterday that he was waiting to hear from Oxford. I said that was impossible since interviews were mid december and results released in mid-Jan. Unless he received a conditional offer, which most do, and your tentstiveness reflected that. You didn't respond. Today you are saying he was accepted to both. So what is it? And conditional offer or no?



I never said he was waiting on Oxford. It was an unconditional offer.

For grad school, yes, she is. And if she can stay and work, she won't come back

How hard was the application process for Oxford? DC is planning to apply next year.


Easy.

Apply through UCAS by Oct 15. SAT or ACT has to be very high. Need a min of 3 x 5’s on AP. This is min. Better to show 5 plus AP’s at 5.
Register for admissions test (depending on the Course).
I think if u dont chose a College, Oxford assigns one.
You cannot apply to both Oxford and Cambridge. Pick one


Thanks! Very helpful.

Yes. Applied to UCL, Edinburgh, St Andrews, Exeter and Durham. Also applied and accepted to a couple of t50 schools.

So far, he has offers from Durham, Exeter and UCL. Awaiting Edinburgh and St Andrews. He is going and has completely given up on US schools.
