Oxford Graduate Application 2012/13

this on itself though makes no sense...if they already know who they are accepting, why not send everything simultaneously?

1 to 4 for available awards to admitted applicants; have I got this right? I'm not very well versed with funding at all. You're reading Classics right - what's the usual ratio for your department?

I have a Masters in a related subject and thought I'd take a shot at both.

Ineligibility: lots of (annoying) reasons including nationality and residence.

actually, I think that since you are applying for a second masters you might have not been eligible for it.

Sorry you're probably right - that's the one where they automatically consider everyone applying right? Do they include applications for 2nd Masters too?

Well anyway no luck for me there .

I really don't know....Job experience does not really play a part in my subject, at all. I think written work/references and personal statement must have made the difference. My grades were OK, but not amazing in comparison to other people coming from my country. I had 9/10 and I know people with 9,7/9,4/9,3 who got in and didn't get funding.
To this day, I don't know why I was chosen, especially since my undergraduate degree only included a few modules of the subject I applied for. I would give anything to know why me. It has been quite overwhelming, I am still scared I'll screw up and they'll be like 'damn we should not have given her the scholarship'.

Really? They exclude people who have previous Master's degrees?

Congrats on your success and sorry for the rejection.

I thought my case was the worst that i was only eligible for 2 scholarships out of which one is Clarendon.....Now i should feel lucky.... lolz

LOL. I suppose it's all sort of like a matter of chance then. They really should write something more about the selection process on their page though.

Congratulations!!! Great way to start the week Just out of curiosity where are you from?

I'm hoping that they haven't sent out the Victorian ones yet since I haven't heard anything

Thanks! I'm of dual nationality, British and Turkish. Finishing up my final year at York at the moment, where I've Home/EU student status, though I split my time between the UK and Istanbul.

Good luck, hope you get some good news soon!

Hey thanks!! I seem to remember that you were offered the Engineering DPhil right? All the best with the scholarships and hope you hear soon .

I really want to go to Istanbul. I want to try the food!!!

Whether I actually get funding from anywhere to do Byzantine Studies or not, I have set myself the task of going to Istanbul this summer. Rocking out on the Bosphorus.

anyone waiting for History Postgrad decisions heard back yet? The Faculty emailed me last week to say that they'd try and send them out at the end of last week or this monday at the latest...

Definitely And yes, the food's amazing, but I may be a little biased in favour of Mediterranean living in general! I really want to make sure I stay connected to the city and culture, even though I guess I'll soon start living in the UK more permanently than I do now.

did you grow up there? I know how you feel... I miss my country a lot.
As for Mediterranean living, well it is the best! Not a matter of bias
