Socrates why you are on the button! To tell the truth, I am surprised that someone from Oxford can't infer meaning from the above statement nor use their imagination. Still you guys have a combined posting total of 35,000+ so I had better not upset the establishment.

What does location have to do with it? :confused:

You do have a rather odd way of expressing yourself, though (no offence).

The Oriel Historian stated that he/she has been accepted twice by Oxford and thus I am inferring that being (or at one time was) an Oxford student then Oriel 'comes from Oxford'. Ye olde English has been obliterated by all this Bebo speak (no offence).

Anyone else in the process of applying for postgraduate study at Oxford? What is the chances of an interview being requested?

It varies between departments, I think. Mine doesn't interview at all.

Edit: By the way, OH isn't in Oxford - he turned them down the second time. :wink:

I applied for M.Sc Global Governance and Diplomacy. Considering my final grade Upper 2:1 from Cass Business School. I dont think I have high chance in getting in. Ah well i am just keeping my fingers crossed!

I'm doing my masters here this year and from my experience (the people I've met), final marks are not that important at all. Obviously most people who are here will have a decent undergraduate degree but there a few who didn't even complete their undergraduate degree and still got in!
Everyone I have met so far has a very interesting background though, dual nationalities, lived in various different countries as well as having unusual interests or hobbies.
Obviously this is specific to postgraduates but I'd say it is very important that you can show that you like to get involved and have done things that are just a little bit different..
