Oxford MFE - Thoughts? And which colleges should I apply to?

Hello again. As I am going through the Oxford MFE (Masters in Financial Economics) Application I was curious if you guys had any thoughts regarding the program. Also, any tips on which colleges to apply to? Do they have an impact on my admissions decision? I only ask because on a lot of the different college websites it dictates the acceptance rates at these colleges.

I would appreciate any overall advice that you think I should bear in mind during this process. Thanks!

At postgradute level, your choice of college will not govern your life as much as the same choice at undergraduate level. You will view your college as a place to live and not too much else unlike at undergraduate level where you get much of your teaching at the collegiate level. At the end of the day, you should probably just ask yourself whether you want to live in a big college where you will not know everyone or in a small college where everyone knows your name. Remember the teaching of the MFE programme is centralised within the business school so location convenience is a big positive.

I really appreciate that! Thank you. Yeah there is a lot to take into consideration... I noticed some also cost a lot more than others too.
