MSc/MPhil/DPhil Politics Oxford applicants

Hi there,

I'm looking for people who have applied to the above to discuss applications, results, etc. I have applied for the MSc in Political Theory Research in the fifth gathered field.

well, I wanna have a feel for what the competition is like because I've got no clue about my chances. based on the official information, I'd say I must be in, but then again it's Oxford

so that's why you didn't get in, or did you decline your offer? You know, I don't think that this is all they are looking for. I suppose that many applicants actually have the same, or even better, degree results

Okay, I really hope to get an offer then (I've even submitted a fully worked out research proposal). Too nervous already ;-)

yeah, I know. but I'm also gonna apply to Cambridge, where my chances should be better (they seem to expect less). Anyway, thanks!!

Yep, fortunately they extended the PhD deadlines to 30th of June. Thank you!

what are you doing now? I read somewhere that another offer of yours was declined for some reason if I remember correctly?

Does this course require a thesis proposal with the application or is it all based on previous marks?
