Hi everyone! I just submitted my application and I have a quick question regarding the writing sample...I submitted a writing sample from a class I took in uni, but it did not have a bibliography (although I cited in-text). This is because the professor did not require us to submit a bibliography for the writing assignment since it's an argumentative piece and the text to be consulted was the same for the entire class. Will this be an issue? Should I reupload the sample with a bibliography? Thank you, and best of luck to you all!

Hello!
I just submitted my application yesterday, and i’m already nervous about it. Not sure I’ll be able to wait 10 weeks
Regarding the statement, I don’t think it would be detrimental per se not having a specific research project, as long as you are clear about the area you are interested in. My tutor did however mention that expressing what you intend to research can show the admissions team that you have a clear plan and goal in mind.
Good luck with your application and to everyone awaiting results!

Thank you! What did you state for your intentions, if you don't mind me asking?

I don't really feel to comfortable being very specific about my research proposal
However, I can tell you that I did mention the research method which I intend to use, the object of study and the rationale behind the thesis. Don't know if that will be of much help

Thanks, totally understood. Its just that I have no specific thesis as yet, as i come from industry. Just some areas that I am interested in so I don't know if that will be good enough for the personal statement. Do I need to have a specific research proposal?

Hi everyone. I was wondering if there's anyone that applied by the November deadline that still haven't heard any decisions from admissions? Saw in the Oxford PG thread that there are some that applied to other courses that are still waiting for the decision. I applied for the Jan deadline so I wanted to know if I still have to wait beyond the 8-10 weeks timeline.

I don’t think you need to wait beyond 8-10 weeks time for the Jan deadline. Because this is the last deadline (for full-time applicant) for the course right?
And according to what I learnt from the GradCafe, there were candidates receiving decisions in Feb in different years, though most in March for the 2nd time of evaluation.

Hi. I assume those applied by Nov deadline but haven’t heard back may assume their applications have been put into “re-evaluation” with the Jan deadline.

It's been around 14% in recent years (https://www.admissionreport.com/univ...f-the-internet). I think it will be more competitive this year, though (because of the recession + pandemic).

There were candidates receiving the decision as early as even in Feb in the past few years, so yeah, nervous as well 😂
