Oxford Graduate Application 2012/13

hi all,
I will be studying MSc in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing at Trinity. Is anyone else for the same course?

I am. Haven't got a college offer yet though.

I see you've finally made a choice. A wise one too.

congrats!
What are your choices?
Yeah! thanks mate

Sent you a PM

Does anyone know how long it takes to hear from your college? I received an offer from my department two weeks ago (MSt in Literature and Art) and I was wondering when postgrads typically hear from their colleges.

Also, if I hope to apply for a DPhil, it seems that in order to avoid taking a year off I would have to apply before my Dissertation is complete, nay even before it is well begun. Is this common? For instance, if I apply to the DPhil in the fall of the second year of my MSt program, my Dissertation is not due until the following Fall, but if apply after my Dissertation is submitted and the MSt is complete, then I will have a year off from school.

Anyone know how the timing works for this? Thanks!

I think love is in the air ^

Yes it's quite normal, and you may be given a conditional offer for the DPhil (for eg a distinction in your MSt). I just discovered your message btw and have sent a PM.

I might be wrong but, isn't there a college specifically for part time students (that also has full-time ones)? Not that all of them must go there, but that it's specifically tailored for the needs..Don't remember the name at the moment, but I do think I read about it...

Does anyone know how much funding they like you to show if you applied for a part time program? I will be traveling to Oxford from the US 2x a year for a week each. (Really it works out to be 4x in the first year...Oct, Feb, July, Oct).

Kellog?

hey guys,

I hate to be the one delivering this to you but for anyone still waiting on the final outcome of the Dulverton Scholarship competition (I assume there'll be a couple of people about), I've just received a confirmation that all decisions have been already made (though this is not indicated on their webpage) and this year the Trust will be offering a total of 2 awards (successful candidates have been informed already). What a pity indeed...
