Oxford Graduate Application 2012/13

Hi, I applied for MSc computer science this year and completed the additional questionnaire. Can anyone give me the information regarding the next step. I mean in what case they call for interview. Do they interview all applicants or only the suitable ones. Any previous experience sharing will be helpful.

They send out questionnaires to all applicants, but only interview the suitable ones. Interviews vary massively from the more general "why do you want to study at Oxford"/"why do you want to study computer science at this level" (source: TSR and supervisor) to the much more technical ("explain <something>" or "solve <problem>") so it's impossible to give any advice either way. Plus, no-one wants to give anyone an unfair advantage

What I can/will say is that if you do get to interview, you will be pushed beyond your limit. They will pick up on your weaknesses and focus on them; whatever you prepare will not be enough. The best way I can think of to describe it is mental assault.

Edit: I should also mention that just because you got the questionnaire "correct", that's no guarantee of an interview. It appears to be a combination of your answers and your background, where your answers are judged relative to your background.

Have Oxford started sending out offers?

Hi. We do not interview all applicants. If you are called for an interview you will be informed of this within the next 3-6 weeks. If your application is not successful you will also find this out within this time range. Hope that helps. If you've got any questions about the process you are welcome to contact the PG Taught Course Administrator.

OMG 135k???? why so much??? Mine is 70k and I consider that insane!

I've received an e-mail from a university scholarship programme requesting some information regarding the eligibility criteria. Would this imply that I have already been accepted to my academic programme?

Hi,

Have English started sending out offers/rejections?

Thanks.

I applied for the MSt in the History of Art at the Faculty of History, no (e-)mails regarding the admission as of yet.

Essentially, do they first process the academic application and then send it to a university-wide scholarship programme, or do they process these applications simultaneously?

I'd still call this early march

Hi guys

Speaking of financial conditions - how much time is given for applicants to prove they can meet their costs? Is there a general deadline or do periods vary from college to college?

many thanks

If you are talking about the Jenkins then I also got that email.

I was never, ever interested in lotto... until the college offer came and said I needed 62K for my two-year MPhil.

Yes, it is Jenkins.
Did you already receive an offer?

How did you understand that mail; do we just have to confirm our eligibility or supply additional documents proving our affiliation with the required institutions?

I am talking about Jenkins too. What do you think is it a good sign?
