Oxford Graduate Application 2012/13

My college offer (Brasenose) had a deadline to accept it by April 1. I asked them to extend it up to 1st of June so that i can learn about the outcome of scholarships i applied for before making any decision. They agreed. In reply of my recent query i just have received an email from the only possible scholarship left for me and they clearly said the final decisions will be made in August !!!!! So i am in trouble . Should i request for another extension of my college offer??? Also wondering whether they would agree to extend it that late......

For the Engineering folk, the Graduate office is closed this week so I wouldn't expect to see any movement until next Monday.

Wow this post made my day. So glad to know someone else in my strand suffering too!!!!

We can keep each other company in our misery.

Haha yes I share your pain!

I actually caved in today too and rang the admissions department and asked when our pathway would be likely to hear anything... the very polite lady said 'should be by the end of this week or latest next week', and we will be contacted by LETTER (not email, apparently), and that it will inform us if we've been nominated for funding.

So... nothing we didn't know already, basically!! *sigh*

Eventually got that letter this morning with a conditional offer for the MSt in General Linguistics & Comparative Philology, yeey! The conditions are a little vague though "A very good result in your current degree." - did anybody see that phrase before and can enlighten me upon how good "very good" is for the purposes of this?

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.

where did you get that information ?

The wonderful instrument that is the telephone. Feel free to phone if you don't want to believe a stranger on the internet

I guess your wonderful telephone worked fine.

Has anyone heard anything from the Weidenfeld Scholarship? I applied to it, and am very curious if invitations have been sent out for the interview.

I applied for it as well, but haven't heard a thing.
