Same here
Was never specifically told I'd never get into oxford, but was told that my school reference would be terrible (to be fair I did CDC their lawn). Shame they only asked my college for a reference.

What ya doing? I got in for Physics at Magdalen

Woo!
Physics at Wadham, but it means that I need three As. Physics and Maths should be easy enough, but Chemistry could be interesting (and there's no hope of me getting one in Computing, our teacher's pretty dire).

woo indeed
I've got an unconditional offer :p (already have 4 As)

You have to get the grades, I wouldn't want to be the only person sniggering at innuendos and topics like retardation

I'll try and get the grades, but from the other people there were during interviews I'm sure we won't be the only ones.

I might also know another Physicist going to Magdalen, but it might not be Magdalen. I'm not sure.

wow
If you do I expect they'll remember me from interviews- I'm the guy who looks like Jesus and may have taken them up on the offer of 'help yourself to wine' a bit too much.

I'll have to check if it was Magdalen it was he went to first, but I'll try and remember to ask him tomorrow.
EDIT: Or not, school's cancelled.
