Oxford postgraduate applicants 2014/15

For the humanities, the Clarendon results will be communicated on the 25th of April. At least this is what the website says.

Yep, I had asked about when I would hear back about a week ago and the grad admissions tutor replied today telling me that I was in a:

"horrible position to be in, because you won't know for ages whether this works out or not".

What a babe. Apparently I'll get a letter in the post explaining the sitch (old school) but basically I'll hear sometime between May-August. If enough people have declined their places due to lack of funding/other then they'll give me an offer otherwise not so much. In any case I think Cambridge should be pretty cool so I'm not too gutted

Tbh it's probably a positive sign if you guys haven't heard back yet best of luck!

Okay! I cracked! I sent them (ODID) an email and I'll let you know what they say (if they do reply). I used my Barcelona offer deadline as an excuse ;D.

I strongly suspect that the history department at least sent out replies by post using second class stamps. £50 application and I've waited over four months now, and a second class stamp!
"Deadline is Wednesday", they said. Wrong bloody Wednesday, I said.

I'm finding this hard to decipher :P. Have you had a letter from them?

Clarendon decisions come out on March 25th for humanities and social sciences.
Most people just accept their offer and then withdraw later if funding doesn't come through; this way your application is passed on to colleges more quickly.

I haven't accepted my offer, and yet I was offered a college place 19 days after I was given my place (and about a week after the official letter via email).

Should I take this as a positive sign that I might have funding? Last time I didn't get funding, and I got my letter from my college, months and months later.

My college wants me to reply to them by the end of April, is this to time-scale it with a scholarship?!

Oh I hate this waiting!

Nope, I'm just guessing since apparently everything was posted on Monday and I didn't receive anything today, but it could just be that, since I'm in Scotland, and we have heavy snow, it's taking two days. Although it's weird you also didn't receive anything. Oh well!

I guess tomorrow is the judgement day *sings Les Mis*

You are reading too much into this. My college also wanted me to reply by the end of April, that's because they want to know how many people will accept their offers.

Rats :P. where did you hear about them posting on Monday? Yeah I'm in the south west so would possibly have heard already, had a letter been sent

Oh very definitely. I'm not genuinely considering this I'm just asking the opinion of someone that has some genuine insight (and studies in the department that I'm applying to). Claws away .
