Oh no! I had my fingers crossed for you, but I'm sure you'll have lots of luck with your future plans! Are you an international or home student?
Thanks for holding out hope for me :smile:. I was a home applicant. Fingers crossed for you too unless you already know?

I’m still waiting to hear back, and thank you! I’m also a home student :smile:
I'm a home student and was just put on a waitlist this morning
Has anyone else not heard anything back at all?
Hi guys. I am planning on applying for the DTP in 2026.
I am not sure if DTP includes immunological projects as well.
Generally, as someone who wants to apply to immunology DPhil/PhD programs from Oxford, what are the available tracks? I hear there is an RDM DPhill in Medsciences in addition to the BBSRC Bioscience DTP.
I am international from Asia with a first-deg in medicine (MD.), IELTS 8.5, and quite a few publications.

I welcome advice from anyone with experience on applying to Oxford!
Peace!

This is what the BBSRC says about what falls under their remit for projects involving humans:

"humans including human physiology, cell biology, genetics and genomics if it’s relevant to understanding normal human function (but not if it’s focused on specific human diseases or abnormal conditions)"

Yeah I already went through the official page.
It seems it does cover molecular biology stuff, including genetics/immunology but only if it is not focused on a disease or abnormal condition (and studies physiology of cells or mechanistic stuff).

I wonder what my chances of receiving an offer would be if I apply?
I have 30 publications mostly first authored and focused on neuroimmunology. Journals are mostly Q1/Q2 in the field.
I have an MD/MSc degree (medical doctor plus master's in e learning) with equivalent first class degree (international qualifications) + IELTS 8.5 band score

Should I do an MPhill msc mres? Or I could go for the DTP? The UK system is a bit confusing to me. Would you recommend applying for a Dphill in medical sciences or go the dtp route?
If anyone is still watching this thread who applied, what questions did you get asked in the interview?

Did anyone here apply for a specific project with the March 1 deadline? Have you been given an interview yet?

I did. I still haven't received any further notification for an interview.
