MBM Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Congratulations to your son! I am not surprised at all. I used to refer to your book lists years ago and found a lot of gems. Anyway, we will want pictures as he attends so we can live vicariously through him. (j/k) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Care to share his scores? Of course it's fine if you'd rather keep them private, but I'm curious to know what it takes to get admitted to Oxford (or at least one sample). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's fine if you'd rather keep them private, but I'm curious to know what it takes to get admitted to Oxford (or at least one sample). Well, his offer was 39 IB points and he more than met that. The entrance requirements (in addition to extra essays, extra exams and faculty interviews) are listed next to the individual courses on these pages.

Fizzy wine and steaks for supper. L You mean there's some truth to the more reserved nature of those across the pond? lol jk I can certainly understand the feeling of relief though. I love the term "fizzy wine"! You obviously did an amazing job as Calvin's teacher. Congratulations to both of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
