Hey crystalmag125!

I got an interview but did not progress beyond that. My interview went okay, fine but not great. I received the infamous 2am rejection email a few weeks after the interview. I know many people are desperate for Oxford so but it actually wasn't my first choice so it is not the end of the world. It is such a small course and I firmly believe that no one should take getting rejected from Oxbridge personally. There are more qualified applicants than places. I'm actually still really excited that I got to the interview stage because that shows they saw potential in my application. I've offers for Cambridge, TCD and KCL so I'm doing fine.

Thats absolutely fine! You will do amazing wherever you go! All the very best. :smile:
Hey guys,
I’m currently a final-year student at university of bristol and is planning to apply to Oxford Msc Child development and education.
I am wondering about the application process. Did you guys contact any professor before applying? Also, for the 2000 words essay, can it be policy brief that is related to children?

Hey! I applied the Jan deadline too, tho I submitted it Mid-December, but still haven’t heard anything! I am not sure whether we need an interview or not for our course. If we do, I have little hope for getting the offer then.

Hey! I think you are the same person who I am replying on the Oxford thread also?
Hi everyone! I applied to MSc Education (Digital and Social Change) by the Jan deadline and have not heard back. Did anyone else who applied to the same program receive an interview invite?

I saw previous applicants got their interview invites around 20th of Feb, and got their offer around mid March. So, hopefully we will get interview invite next week or so!
