MSc Social Science of the Internet (Oxford Internet Institute) 2021-22

Original post by kshdydjbdb

This past week, as it gets dark, I start getting paranoid knowing about the 2a rejection email. Either I don't sleep until 2a or I tend to wake up in the early hours of the night to check if there are any emails. I really can't wait for this to end and to hear from them.

Sending everyone else who is waiting positivity, prayers and strength - I hope we all find strength in knowing that we are going through the cycles of stress together. Having this space, to me has been a form of unexpected community.

I felt that :'( really, it's been a way more stressful week than I ever thought it could be haha. But thank you for your message!

Having this sense of community to some degree has been really helpful. I'm just gonna try to keep taking deep breaths and continue my work & keep wishing for the best!

Thanks for sharing your feelings. We’re in this together and our waiting is in the end. I *think* they’ll send all the rejections at 2am; and the offers during tomorrow day. Wish you the best of luck! Be strong folks

Don't you think they would have sent all the rejections by now? Given that they have been sending them on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (as people on this thread have shared)?

I don't think we have enough information to draw any substantial conclusions just based on this thread so I really couldn't say ://

I really don’t think so. It’s a very competitive course and just in this thread we have, at least, 5 persons waiting for an answer. It’s sad but I don’t think that we all will get offers.

Yes, unfortunately, I agree with the above, although my wishful thinking keeps trying to say that perhaps all rejections have gone out! Has anyone heard back either way for the part-time course?
