Not Trinity...

[compilerbitch]

I got a letter this morning from Trinity. They didn't give me the scholarship (not that it really matters any more!). I phoned this afternoon to see if they were offering me a place -- seemingly, they turned me down. Poo.

Newnham is next in the queue. We shall see how that goes!

I'm not down at all about Trinity -- they were only top of the list because they had the most money and the most studentships up for grabs, as well as offering 3 years of accommodation. I also applied for a scholarship to Newnham, so we shall see what happens there, although as I understand it a lot of colleges get miffy if you didn't post them as your #1 choice. Again, I'm not really bothered if they give me money -- I'm mostly interested in finding a college that will give me three years of accommodation that (ideally) also isn't in the middle of nowhere.

We shall see where this leads. I will post news here as it happens -- thank you again to everyone who has provided hugs and support through this process.

[Now off to the gym!]

Eeep. Good luck with the Newnham application. Not sure how they are nowadays, but a few years ago there was major controversy when they found out that Rachel Padman (a Newnham Fellow) used to be known as Russel. Rachel managed to keep her fellowship, and Germaine Greer (who opposed her) has left there now, so i think they'll be a bit more open minded nowadays.
