Thanks, yes I’m from the UK. I assume you will have a good chance; saying that, they do say that they recruit on a rolling basis, and I do know two people who submitted super early on (November) and have offers - nevertheless, you do have a good chance if you submit by the 5th

Would you mind sharing your background ie what is undergraduate degree in? I’m applying from social science background as studied BA in ‘International Relations and Politics’ but no background in law and criminology which is scary!!

Hi, how many days did it take for your status to become "under review"? My 1.16 submission is still in "submitted" status

I emailed the admission. They are now busy processing the applications before the funding deadline. As I submitted in mid Jan, they will soon update my application since the review of those before 5th Jan has almost come to an end.

Mine moved to "under review", does that mean the decision of your application has been made?
hi, does anyone have any news? 🙂 how long did your application take from 'under review by department' to the next stage?

all the best everyone!
Do you think it's too late to apply?
I'm wondering if all the applicants before January 5th have received a response? I applied in February, and I'm curious about how long it might take to get a reply.
Also, I'd like to ask if anyone has also applied for the Master's in Criminology and Criminal Justice at Oxford. If you got accepted into both, how would you decide between them~
I applied on February 20th and got rejection yesterday(12/3).

Hi sorry to hear that
Do you think you got rejected because you applied a bit late? What was your profile like? Can you share if you don’t mind!!

Hi, I'm not sure if those who apply later are all rejected, so I also find it difficult to pinpoint the exact reason. However, my academic grades are not outstanding, and I believe a major factor could be my inability to demonstrate my research capabilities.
