Oxford Graduate Application 2012/13

Dear all,

I just went over my grad application and realized that I made a huge mistake.

Namely, in the funding section I ticked the field next to "Clarendon Fund: We may override your preferred college choice (if you have indicated one) in order to enable you to take up funding you are awarded by a different college. This may apply to Clarendon scholarships as described above, and other funding. If you do NOT wish to have your preference changed to take a funding offer, please tick this box."

Which goes long way in saying how sleepy I was when I was doing my final review of the application. Is there any way I can contact admissions (and who?) in order to have my tick removed, given that this was completely opposite of what I had intended.

Please, any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi would you mind me checking whether it matters which college you choose?

I ticked no preference because I don't really mind (I'm thinking any college is good), but does it affect my application positively or negatively?

Neither. The relevant department decides whether to give you an offer or not and only then does your application get passed around the colleges.
Although it does of course mean that you're unlikely to end up at one of the colleges that lots of people put down (like, say, Balliol).

hi, do you know when the graduate offer holders(November deadline) will listen from the college?? any chance of hearing before funding notifications in april?

Has anybody been accepted/rejected from their college of choice yet?

I was just rejected from my 1st choice College at Cambridge, if that says anything about Oxford; I didn't apply to a super-popular college so I am not sure why I've been rejected this early in the year.

may be they want you to be in the super-popular college....and forwarded there

Double fingers and toes crossed though that they move me to a College because it has better scholarships!

It might be different this year, but I was never notified last year when my college of choice rejected me. The first I knew of it was when I received an offer from the college that did take me on.

when did you hear last year?? and what was the reason of rejection??scholarship??

i wrote Magdalen as preference (without searching enough) and now i wish i would better not done this

Hey sorry I accentually negged you. I was trying to quote you
Sorry about that.

Just to say that they don't tell you why they rejected you. If you are moved to a college + offered a scholarship from it at the same time then you know it's because of that.
