Hi, *waves*. I'm another one giving the application a go, been dreaming of Oxford since I was a little girl and figured I've got as good a shot as anyone now with my academic record. If I get in but don't get a scholarship I'll have to say no, but if that happens I'll just wait a few years, start saving and try again. I'm a bit of an academic wanderer, took a BA and an MA for me to work out which field I wanted to specialise in, nevertheless both of my dissertations revolved around the British Conservative Party, especially the Liberal-Conservative Coalition. Anyway, I've got an outline for my research proposal, and my old BA thesis supervisor (retired now) and her husband are helping me refine it. Wish me luck!
