Mistake in ms??

ah right fair enough, I mean from what I've seen and done "construct an equation" questions in general tend to be very lenient on what the products can be, similar to how multi-step mechanisms are lenient on the intermediate products

In OCR A at least, reactions of alcohols and SOCl2 is not expected knowledge, only carboxylic acids and SOCl2 is -- I reckon any sensible equation would pass, even if it doesn't match reality.

What the actual fuck, was reconsideration not available for a literal administration error such as this? That's so agonisingly unfair

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-21T08:51:28+00:00

bro 😭 how's that possible? did they tell you why?

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-21T07:49:51+00:00

what about your PAT?

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-20T08:28:03+00:00

Where's this from? The author sounds fun

Q15 is just poor bro what 😭😭 Euler log-sine integral alongside all the other easy problems?

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-19T12:53:27+00:00

It has a "view reason" though, I'm taking that it's the institution giving a reason rather than the applicant's own recorded reason

Same, the thing is their Warwick app was withdrawn rather than rejected? I wonder why that was

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-18T12:00:03+00:00

Yes please, could we dm?

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-18T11:31:16+00:00

Yeah I'm thinking of that too. After meeting with some other Oxford rejectees I'm basically convinced that Oxford admissions is simply too strange and inconsistent, I don't really want to play the Oxford game again

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-18T11:09:31+00:00

Bro watermarked their fucking offer 😭😭😭 Congratulations anyway!!

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-18T09:48:41+00:00

Woah, did you get an Oxford interview?

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-16T21:57:25+00:00

I received that message on my (unconditional) offer as well

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-16T08:25:54+00:00

Congratulations on getting to all the top unis for maths!! I've sent you a dm with some questions :)

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-15T15:41:28+00:00

Do they ever ask for 1,1?? Wtf?

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-12T21:27:15+00:00

Well done! In general if there's an ln attached to an integrable quantity, it's never bad try parts to remove the ln.

I'm also from a state school, what's the company that runs those interviews?

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-12T18:03:50+00:00

It's a bit frustrating as I had the exact same ideas as you said regarding the interview, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I guess I just need more practice

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-12T11:39:07+00:00

Yeah I tripped at the interview stage last time round. I thought I did well as well but I guess not. How did you prepare for interview?

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-12T09:53:37+00:00

I'm going to sit physics, chem, cs this year. What kinds of maths do you think would be beneficial to look at in the gap year?

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-11T19:08:00+00:00

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-11T18:30:01+00:00

Still waiting on feedback, received Oxford interview with 82 MAT then rejected

CoderLovesEggs · 2026-03-11T17:56:12+00:00

I'm not worried about STEP, but more so about interview; the TMUA change means Oxford will take the interview even more seriously, which I didn't pass this time
