Oxford Graduate Application 2012/13

Oh no!! Was it pembroke?
What's your second choice?
Also I didn't know that Cambridge notifies us if we get rejected by our first college. In Oxford you never know until you get a college offer (from your choice or another one)

Yeah it says 'Unsuccessful at Pembroke College, seeking College membership.'

Fitzwilliam is my 2nd choice; I just went with the most modern and laid-back looking one as I don't like the sort of posh private school atmosphere of the older Colleges in Durham. I know that's a massive generalistion but I had to base my choice on something xP also Fitz seems to have a Nespresso maker in the MCR ; )

Hello

I applied by the 20th of Jan deadline (for the DPhil in English), and was wondering if anyone else hasn't received the email confirming their application is complete yet? I've received the one saying my app has been submitted, but not the confirmation from grad admissions. Realise I'm probably worrying for nothing, but thought it couldn't hurt to check.

Cheers

Don't worry About it. I am already at Oxford for my MSt and I know at least five people who still haven't got it. Including me.

I had a slightly different question to ask in here as well: I know us 20th-deadliners should expect to hear from Oxford whether we were successful or not in late March, but does anyone have any idea when we'll hear if we were successful (/on the reserve list) in getting AHRC funding?

Last year when the offers came out for the English MSt there was a paragraph near the end of the letter which told you if you had been successful/unsuccessful/were a reserve for the AHRC funding.

anyone got reply from politics/IR?

I was just accepted to the MSt in Modern British and European History. Very happy.

However: I only have until 17 February to reply. Does anyone know if I'll hear back regarding what college I will be placed in, or what kind of financial package, if any, I can expect? I am comparing this offer to that of Cambridge and it seems that I won't have enough time to determine which might give me funding before I am required to respond.

Another question: I have applied to the same college which my supervisor is a member of (unbeknownst to me at the time of application). Does this make it more likely that I will be placed at this college?

Thanks, and good luck to all!

Submitted my application to Oxford's Master in Financial Economics - 3rd ever application to Oxford...

Supposed to hear back on the 10th, will be one of straight rejection/straight offer/interview.

when did you hear last year?? and what was the reason of rejection??scholarship??

i wrote Magdalen as preference (without searching enough) and now i wish i would better not done this

What is their PS requirement? 1 pager on anything?

I would just ring them. Oxford seem allot more personable than the Cambridge department I had contact with. did you also specify a preferred college? If not I wouldn't worry as they will just stick you where they can fund you anyway.

It depends really on which college you applied to, how popular that one is, and how quickly they decide. It may be that you get into your first choice college, and hear very quickly, but if you don't it may take a while. I'm not sure that the supervisor will make a difference, but I'm not certain. In terms of funding offers, that depends on the funding that you have applied for.

Do you have to pay a deposit for the course? I think that it's not unusual for people to accept a place and later decline due to lack of funding.

Thanks for your answer!

I do not have to pay a deposit for the course. I will go regardless of what kind of funding I'm offered - I'm willing to take out the tuition in U.S. student loans (I am a U.S. citizen). I just wanted to know if perhaps I'd hear back in time to compare what Cambridge might offer me, and make my decision based off of that, but it seems like I won't have enough time to do that.

Worcester is my first-choice college, but I'm not sure if it's very competitive for graduate admissions.

No idea if it's true but I heard some gossip from Worcester that she might be staying on next year.
