Oxford Graduate Application 2012/13

yeah I want to go too. I have no money atm but it's a place I want to visit. So many Byzantine residues, and the Turkish culture seems close to mine, but also quite different, so I am keen to experience it. I have people from both sides of my family who come from the 'City' as we call it, and I feel a strong pull to it. The food my grandmother cooks for example is definitely affected by her mother's origins and in general Greek and Turkish food share a lot. But I think Turkish food might have retained a more eastern flavour to it, and I want to try it.

Yeah I did are you Greek? I feel like I share a lot with my Greek friends, there really is a cultural connection, particularly as Istanbul is closer to Mediterranean culture than the rest of Turkey.

You're making me feel hungry now .

I'm making myself feel hungry!!

I love Greek deserts . *salivating disgustingly*. I wonder if Turkish sweets are similar?

I heard that it might be the case, but I don't know if its a rule or a more general tendency.

I don't think its solely chance. But things like proposal/references/written work are things that we cannot quantify like grades, so as applicants we cannot always know if our essays or proposals are good.

I always associate Greek food with feta that I had in Europe. And Turkish food with balaclava. Both are bloody hard to find in my city. I won't be able to get it out of my head now and will probably go around the town tomorrow looking for these items. Also, it's 2 am and I've realised that one of the hazards of browsing through TSR is late-night cravings.

Since I've been having nightmares about departmental rejections the last few weeks, tonight I intend to dream about baklava yum !

I applied for the 1550-1700 strand. I hope we hear back soon because this is killing me! Fingers crossed What strand did you apply for? Mail from the UK to the East Coast (esp. New England) can't take that long...!!



Yes, I was just assuming that this was the case in the UK as well. My fault.

The dept email finally arrived, both good news and bad. DPhil in English: Rejected . MSt in English: Accepted .

I'm disappointed of course but relieved too.

No offence, but you're not seriously expecting someone who is applying for the same course as you to reveal details about his interview so that you'll be better prepared for yours, are you?

I applied for 1800-1914. I haven't heard of anyone hearing for it yet? I was really hoping they'd send International people emails since I'm randomly in Switzerland this week and don't fancy finding out bad news via phone! Ugh. Trying to de IDE of its better to not know and wonder all week or if I should try to enquire, put myself out of this misery and ruin my vacation. I'll probably end up waiting it out but it's killing me.

Glad for you. Sad for you. Hope to see you there!

I think they do for AHRC; not really sure about the Clarendon though .
