From 12pm Tuesday 7th December until 3pm Thursday 9th of December or even 12pm Friday 10th December I will be at Christ Church College Oxford taking interviews as part of the application process for the Classics I course.
The greatest University for Classics and the original traditional Classics course. It’s going to be 
if I get in.
Good luck mate!
Though I would have been inclined toward Cambridge myself!
Make sure to not insult the authors and of course pretend to like the terrible ones! 
Best of luck!
Perhaps you can get the darshan of M.L. West.
Good luck!
Best of Luck and hoping you do well!
You know, it’s wicked cool that so many Textkit members are getting applications to these great schools, going to these schools, etc.
I think that’s predictable.
Good Luck here too.
Lots of luck.
(I think we’re going to run out of expressions soon.)
Good Luck!
You have a great mind that’ll take you far!

Good luck, Thucydide!
I hope I´ll get there, too. Eventual thanks be to jeff and Textkit.
Hey Thucy,
You’ll get in. It’ll be a walk in the park.
Cordially,
Paul
Wow. Thanks for all your support.
My virtual absence from these boards has been a result of Oxford preparation - preparation which consists of endless unseens and lots of time spent “thinking clever thoughts” for interview.
Soon I might just have the time to send a copyright-free version of Monro’s Homeric Grammar in to Textkit.

Very best of luck, Thucydides! Am sending positive vibes in your direction!
I was fortunate enough to go to Oxford myself, and it is the most glorious of universities, and a wonderful place.

…letter from Oxford this morning.
I’M IN!
Congratulations!! You are very talented and I’m positive you have a bright future.
All the best,
Jeff
Congratulations!
A walk in the park!
Congrats Thucy.
Cordially,
Paul
PS: at some point, please tell us about the interviews
Wow! That’s great news Thucydides!
Right, the interviews…
I’m afraid that since I’ve been telling this story to rather a lot of people I’m going to give you a fairly generic report on the whole thing.
I stayed in Christ Church for three days.
After lunch on the first day we had Latin and Greek tests, each a one hour paper with a prose and verse unseen. The Latin paper was a piece of Cicero and some Propertius; the Greek some Plato (Meno I think) and some Euripides (Helen). They were all challenging but very do-able.I felt pretty relaxed and alert when I took them and think I was basically at my best. I had a few vocabulary problems but nothing major.
In general the tutors were very nice, very patient and quite prepared to wait for me to think my way through something.
So thank you very very much fellow text-kitters for your best wishes and congratulations!
Great! Oxford! thumbs up
