Back after an absence of about a month (graduation + travel!), and now starting to worry again about the Oxford situation. I missed an exam and have to retake it sometime next month, so until I do that Oxford can't sign off on my academic conditions (despite the fact that even with a 0 in the exam I've met them). This would probably fine if I didn't have to apply for a Visa!
I've spoken to my department and they said it should be alright even though the deadline for meeting conditions is the 31st of this month. I'm still worried, though, because I feel that, until I have my unconditional offer, Oxford and funding are a mirage that could disappear at any point.
I'm considering calling my department again, and explaining my situation to my college. Is this a good idea?
