do keble/oxford send you an email if they reject you or do you just ... not hear anything???


Letter. Rejections are posted at the same time as offers, so no news means absolutely nothing

Sorry to hear that mate, did they tell you why?
Good luck with your other unis though


Thanks :smile: not specifically, they just sent the generic rejection email, talking about the selection process and how competitive it is. But I still have other unis so I'll focus on those now!

ahh okay great thanks for telling me because i've applied to keble and apparently they posted the invites to my subject (archaeology & anthropology) today and i haven't heard anything in like??? any form??? but apparently a lot of people haven't so ...


They only posted the letters today, so it will take until tomorrow or potentially Thursday for them to actually get to you, good luck!

Oh god not the 'yeah sorry about that too many applicants too little spaces ok bye' letter, honestly I think those are pretty cruel in that they dress up the rejection as if they're really sorry about it when the interview selection process is literally done by a computer algorithm

I believe for some other subjects they sent acceptances via email and rejections via post (if not an international student). Seems very old fashioned and redundant, especially as some of those rejected didn't find out straight away due to posting delay!


yeah seems sort of old and also needlessly nerve wracking but whatever

Hi there, i have applied to keble for CS and still havent had a reply.
They have sent out the letters today for our subjects and so we should get a letter tomorrow or thursday for the answer.
Just because they havent sent anything does not mean that they have rejected you!
Both offers and Rejections are sent at the same time through the same means.
Good Luck!!

28 Oxbridge applicants at my school, and as of this evening 27 have heard yes/no to interview. It's nice to be the last guy waiting :P

Yes it's truly a marvelous time for everyone concerned. I can't really expect them to handwrite me a letter through considering how they rejected over a thousand medicine applicants preinterview. Anyway, good luck! Hope you succeed! It's about a one in three chance for you now I think which is a step up!

Congratulations, I've got one too for St Hugh's and LMH
I don't think they particularly care whether or not you have a nose stud, 99% certain they care more about your ability as a doctor/academic than your decision to pierce your nose :tongue:


Congrats to you too! Mine's for St Anne's and Magdalen :biggrin:

That makes sense, I won't worry too much then :biggrin: thanks!

Woohoo! Look who I've found on a thread randomly! (N.B. I'm not a stalker...) I got a "very likely" to get an interview email. Congrats Georgia. See you at Rangers! :wink:
Will they post the invitation letter to us as well before we receive the email?

Rejection from Medicine despite a 76.8% BMAT. Trying to figure out what did it - my age, or being an international student. Any internationals here with a Medicine interview? What was your percentage?

Hey, I have a nose stud too! Luckily it's healed up cus I've had it for more than a year, so I think I might just quickly take it out just before the interview and put it back in straight after :tongue: Don't want to take any chances

This is literally me, I feel like I woni't be able to sleep for a week now :h:


Join the club haha I get stress induced insomnia 😭😂
I'm applying for mathematics, and I guess that means the email will not be sent until you receive your posted letter. Can I ask you what website did you find that update news?

Hey, The Spartan :smile: I am still waiting for an email from Keble for Computer Science too. I saw they have updated their website a few minutes ago saying "Interview decision letters have been posted for the following subjects. Computer Science; Mathematics & Computer Science; Archaeology & Anthropology - 1st December "What do you think that means? They have sent them to our emails or by post? Because I have been checking my email and have not received anything yet.

No, AFAIK they only send letters from Keble, and we only then get an E-Mail from UCAS at the end of December. I think letters are the only way they contact us with responses :smile:
