Hmph.


As expected. Rejected from Oxford.


Just like my dream. For those who don’t know about my dream, it involved getting a christmas card at school that was from Oxford. If you were rejected, you would get a “Merry Christmas” and if you were accepted, then it saids “Congrats on your offer”. I got a “Merry Christmas next to my name and I think two people got a “Congrats” in my dream. I won’t disclose who they are, but I’ll see if my intuitions were right. =)


I’m not that dissapointed, I guess, dun wanna go to Oxford anyway. I mailed Chicago and Penn apps just now, so I hope that I will get accepted by one of them la. I love them both, although I must say I favor Chicago over Penn. Slightly. If not then I’ll end up in Kings. Or UBC lor.


Got to finish apps and start revising! If I don’t get my BBC then even Kings won’t accept me! =p. G’luck to everyone else! Hey Oxford people tell me the good/bad news!~ =)

My letter if you wanna read:


Dear Miss Lai,


I am writing to tell you, with regret, they we are unable to offer you a place at Corpus Christi College to read Biochem. Your application is, however, available to all other Oxford colleges until 31 Jan, and it is therefore possible (although I have to say not now likely) that another college will contact you before then; otherwise you should not expect to hear further from other colleges, even though you may have been interviewed by them. If you are not contacted, I am afriad that means your application to Oxford has been unsucessful.


The College will be writing directly to your school within the next few weeks about your application, unless you have already indicated that you do not wish a report to be sent. I am sure that your teachers will be ready to discuss with you any comments we make, if you wish.


I do realise how disappointing this will be, and I am sorry not to have better news about your application here. As you will know, competition for places at Oxford is extremely strong. I hope, however, that you will be sucessful in gaining admission to one of the other Universities to which you may have applied.


Yours sincerely,


(He signed in a GREEN!!!!! pen) wth.

Dr. Mark R Wormald seems to be such a weird guy from my point of view… he sounds like as if Oxford is the BEST uni and it’s just TOO bad you didn’t make it… stuff him! ewww… I hate him! God… “I do realise how dissapointing this will be”…. he’s so negative… weird weird guy…. stuff him! oKay! I’m not applying for oxford!

 I bet you’ll get into Chicago and Penn! You’re smart! =)

I’m worse!

I got completely rejected by Oxford! It goes sth like “i’m sorry to tell you that no other colleges in Oxford will be considering your application”. {BLAH}

At least you’re still in the pool and you still have a chance.

Double-props to cheer you up!
