Oxford postgraduate applicants 2014/15

Whoa that's so sweet! Congrats!

Makes me wanna give christ church a wittle phone call...

Congrats!

Sorry to ask all the mundane questions but....

Which course?
Did you specify a college preference?
How long did they take to tell you?
Was it by email or post?
Did you get funding information in your college offer?

Thank you!

Hi, thanks!!!!

It was the MSc Philosophy of Physics, and yes, I had Balliol as my first choice. I got the offer on the March 8 and then two days ago the college decision. Both of them were by Email with the letter attached as pdf.
No funding information I believe since I didn't get the Clarendon, I will have to see whether and how I can pay for the course...

Hope that helped. Good luck to you!

I went to visit the city of Oxford today and poked my nose in at St Antony's College, my first choice. Someone at the reception was kind enough to show me and my parents around the place. It's an eclectic mish-mash of ugly and strange buildings. But I do like the general atmosphere, which seems to be a lot more casual than the other colleges I saw. And it is the most internationalised one, which is a massive plus for me.

Even better was when the lady who showed us around kindly went to the admissions lot and was able to informally confirm that I'd be offered a place there! Hurrah! So now all the pieces have fallen together, it's panic time. Because now I have to actually pass my Masters with a 'Distinction' to get in...

No fair I also got my offer on March 8 and I had Balliol as my first choice but I haven't heard a peep.

So, checked my inbox when I got up this morning (afternoon, who am I kidding?) to find that I've been accepted onto the MSt in Modern Languages!

Which is nice.

They also seem not to have made me any academic conditions. Which is even nicer, frankly, since the idea of having to get a first off the back of the essays I'm doing now was disturbing...

I was wondering, would people who received funding, especially Clarendon, mind giving a brief overview of what their CV/grades/accomplishments look like? Just for a bit of closure, because I have no idea where I stand amongst other applicants/offer holders so it would be nice to know whether I just missed out on funding or whether I had my head in the clouds thinking I had a chance at a scholarship! It could also be helpful in terms of expecting scholarships in the future

Have you accepted your offer? I think they only forward it to the college once you've formally accepted it...

Got acceptance from my priority college today ( Brasenose).

Moreover, I would really appreciate if somebody who has received a nomination from Oxford for Commonwealth Shared Scholarship this year, would let me know. So I can start moving on to other study options..

Congrats to you! I'm hoping to join you in St. Antony's. Did she make any mention of when they'll be sending out official offers by email (or post?)?

The college/funding process is such an enigma. It seems that the normal process is simply throwing an application in and waiting to see if something comes back. It would be so much easier if it was more transparent - ie, knowing if your application is even shortlisted for funding you're technically eligible for.

I've yet to hear anything about a college and received my DPhil offer on March 11th - University College was my preference though (for no good reason other than they had funding sources I was eligible for).
