Jack's degree results were published on 16 July, and still no word from him on Youtube or Twitter, about what grade he got.......its so suspicious, and I, for one, feel cheated that he is hiding this from us! We didn't need to know about the failed Oxford Masters application, but we do need to know his degree classification, after 3 years of watching him! Anyhow, I'm not watching his channel anymore....useless!

Fair point! Agree with that, think if that is what Ibz means he needs to work on making sure his wording is clear though.
Completely different courses which are looking for completely different things in the application process, which is also completely different. I still only think it's comparable if he applies for exactly the same course twice, like Ibz did.

Did you screenshot? I think he’s deleted it

That flat must be costing loads!!! Also he hasn’t talked about his girlfriend for a while, are they still together?
Does anyone know the exact course he applied for at Oxford? I just had a little look on the English Lit courses at Oxford and there's only one really "competitive" course. All the rest pretty much had 70 applications to 60 places. I think he needs to accept that he can enjoy English Literature without being validated by Oxford.
why can’t people just stay put? Talk about unnecessary.

Thanks!
So what did get last year? I’m guessing a 2.1 and that’s what he got now? Surely a 1 would have gotten a huge story/post/video
Hi guys, I've been watching Jack on and off for a few years, mostly just to see what he's up to.
Sorry if this is obvious or has been mentioned before, but does anyone know if he has any plans for a master's? Has he a confirmed place anywhere? Is he reapplying for Oxford? Abandoned the whole idea and now job searching (that's the idea I get from his tweets but I rewatched his Oxford masters rejection video last night and he seemed to say he was going to apply again!)?

So what do we think he'll do in his gap year? Reckon he'll just do exactly what Jade and Holly and all the other gap year studytubers do

17£ is standard I’d say. As soon as you want a “nicer” planner they tend to get quite pricey ...I agree that it’s unusual he hasn’t made a video about his degree results. I think the non-detriment policy basically involves degree classifications being calculated twice, both in the usual way and disregarding assessments completed in the current circumstances, with a student being awarded the higher classification, to ensure that nobody is disadvantaged.
I would be surprised if he re-applies to Oxford. I know someone who has just graduated with a first and the workload is intense, with one essay (or more) per week. Jack portrays himself as someone who leaves his essays until the last minute, which I’m sure is not endearing to Admissions Tutors.
is it just me or does anyone else think that £17 for a planner is expensive? This seems to feed into the commercialisation of ‘productivity’. There is a useful article below about this:
StudyTube and the fetishisation of productivity — Ebb Magazine
During a global pandemic that is exposing the contradictions of global capitalism, StudyTube instead re-frames this as an opportunity to accelerate one’s own productive potential. Ruby Granger, it seems, is committed to going down with the ship of capitalist realism, even as its edifice begins to crwww.ebb-magazine.com
He did tweet to people to vote for Joe Sugg back in 2018 and slagged off Ashley Roberts in the process for having dance training (unnecessary). Otherwise I doubt he's watched it.
Judging by personal experience with influencer products, no one will get a new one or refund...

I'd think so. Jack is way too annoying, he'd definitely tweet about getting into Oxford as soon as he got the news. In that case I'm expecting a very dramatic "moving on from Oxford & identity crisis" video in a few months.
He wanted to apply for this fall, right? Application deadline was January 8 according to the department website, the last comment on the video was two weeks ago. Would he already be hearing back from them? I don't think that's enough time for admission procedures, surely?That or he is limiting it as he is applying again and not wanting to draw attention to it if they check out his channels. Not that he needs to, they'll remember the 'guy with youtube channel' applying for 3rd time. Despite what applicants thing admissions staff do remember

I thought it sounded like more of an autobiography with some motivational stuff thrown in, but you could be right.

He said he had a girlfriend but I definitely get strong gay vibes from him. Fair enough if he's not.
