Has anybody heard back? Deadline was on 6 January 2023 for entry to 2023/24. It is officially 1 month since, today, on February 7th.

I am curious if anyone had any interviews already? And if so, when?

I have just seen on Gradcafe that someone has got an interview, so I guess they have started sending invitations this week.

By this time last year, people were actively being interviewed. Apart from 1 interview update, I am not seeing any activity this year.

Has anyone else heard back from the University?

Someone from Edinburgh Uni received an interview, reported in the Official Oxford 2023 Postgraduate Applicants Thread. I think they are sending interviews, it is just that few people report them here or on GradCafe.
Someone got an offer without an interview and posted it on GradCafe.

International student here. I had my interview, they said offers will be sent out on march.

I have the same feeling...

Maybe they are taking things in chronological order? Can anybody confirm when they sent their application? I sent mine in January.

On the January deadline, top 4% of my class, best university of my country, research experience on 3 different subjects all related to computer science, 3 different part time jobs related to computer science and a bunch of other experiences/ projects in computer science.

Hi, Congratulations on the interview. Hope you get a positive response soon!

Do you mind telling how the interview was? The kind of questions asked, duration etc.

In that case, maybe I should mentally start preparing myself for unwelcomed news.

I applied on the last day i.e 6th Jan

Quite a few people reported receiving an offer without an interview on Gradcafe. Interestingly, all of them have studied outside the UK/ internationally.

I have a feeling the department is in need of funds... But I don't know why we are holding to a higher account UK grads, then? Asking for "minimum a first class" when most degrees from outside the UK have GPAs of thresholds that often do not qualify for a first class.

You don't know that, don't say that.
Has anyone else heard back on interviews / acceptances? Nothing new on gradcafe as far as I'm aware
