Re: Oxford Graduate Application 2012/13I'm 1660-1830. Good luck with your application(Original post by chipper)
Hi! I applied for the MSt (1800–1914) in January (the only deadline...) but it seems everyone on here either applied for early modern or contemporary. Any other Victorianists out there?

Re: Oxford Graduate Application 2012/13I don't think that IR decisions come before late March. They consider all applications after the January 20 deadline only (at least for the MPhil courses).(Original post by strivingon)
Anyone got reply from IR -

For the MPhil the department definitely doesn't even start looking at applications until after the Jan deadline, and you won't hear back before March.(Original post by Scout-)

Re: Oxford Graduate Application 2012/13Hello there 20th century; yes it's going to be an unbearably long wait. Which college did you apply to btw?(Original post by fadingwinters)
I'm 1900-Present. Best of luck to you both! We probably won't be hearing anything till March then, I'm guessing... -

Re: Oxford Graduate Application 2012/13Yeah, that's me -- sorry for the slow response. I don't know much about what goes on behind the scenes, but the process as I experienced it was:(Original post by hobnob)
Sorry to bother you, but I seem to remember that you were given such a scholarship associated with another college when you applied last year, and that you got notified about the scholarship long before you got an official letter from your college telling you that you had been given a place. Do you happen to know anything more about this process?
(That is if I haven't just made a complete fool of myself by getting you mixed up with some other English MSt - if so, I apologise for having dragged you here for nothing!)
1. Letter from the department containing both the offer of a place and the news about the scholarship, specifically naming the college
2. Much later (at the same time that they sent out other offers) letter from the college offering the college place
I've had about one and a half conversations about the scholarship since I arrived, and my impression is that the decision is made by the department and then rubber-stamped by the college. But that's just how I read what I was told, not an authoritative statement. -

Re: Oxford Graduate Application 2012/13No masters - just going straight in! It's a little daunting actually, haha! I need to get a 2:1, and I'm pretty confident I'll get at least that, so the pressure is off a bit now.(Original post by Xristina)
congratulations! are you doing a master's this year or are you going straight to a PhD? What condition did they give you? -

Re: Oxford Graduate Application 2012/13they normally specify, so for example from a friend they asked a 67 I think.(Original post by VioletsAin'tBlue)
