18 Dec - Thank you all for coming to interview at St Peter's. We have now made most of our decisions, and posted most of the letters today by first class post. There are still a few outstanding decisions and letters which will be sent on Monday, when we also hope to be able to email copies of our decisions to candidates outside the UK. Please do not ring the College asking if you have got a place, as we are unable to give this information over the phone.
The College will close for Christmas on Monday, and we re-open on 4th January.
10 Dec - Information for applicants arriving over the coming weekend. The last meal available in the College dining hall this week will be breakfast on Saturday 12th December.

Our team of student helpers will be able to suggest good places to buy food and/or to eat in the vicinity of the college.

For overseas students needing visas we unfortunately cannot guarantee to give you notification of interview in time for you to get a visa. If you are unable to get a visa to come to Oxford then we will try to interview you by telephone, Skype, or video-conference, and this will not adversely affect your application.

If you are resident outside Europe please email admissions@spc.ox.ac.uk to confirm whether or not you are able to attend interview in Oxford if asked. Please do this even if you have already emailed us about this, so we can ensure we have an accurate record.

All correspondence you receive from us will be by email, with the exception of the final decision letters which will be sent by post.
