Oxford graduate applicants 2009/2010

Has anyone heard from the History Faculty? Is it just me or are they really slow in making decisions?

I haven't. Apparently we're in for a long wait - mid-March is when I've been told they usually send out decisions.

It's only three weeks after the January deadline, however - a decision now would seem surprisingly quick to me. Having said that, I want to know now!

I emailed the graduate office today and the response was mid-March (I'm history too)

I hate waiting :mad:

Hi! I was just wondering how you found about your college acceptance....via post or email? I live in the states so if it is by post that means I have to add another week onto my waiting time :frown:

I did find out by post, yes (sorry) :redface:

I'm not sure that necessarily means that everyone will though - I also got my original offer only by post, but I know some people got emailed.

I didn't hear until late March. And the deadline was about ten days earlier than this year's...

Thank you splatblob but oh no..... Oxford already lost one of my transcripts by post so hoping that this envelope will make it safely across the atlantic

yup, I keep pestering them, they are useless, Imperial are much more organised. Do you have other offers?

I put down Jesus first, St. Antony's second. I'm not too fussed, however, as I'm not looking for College accommodation. Jesus does have a lot of money, however...

Are you renting in Oxford then? As I thought postgrads still had to be within a certain distance of the university?

I'm not sure of my plans yet. Oxford is my hometown, so could theoretically live at home if the funding falls through. Otherwise I would definitely be looking to rent - I had enough of halls as an undergrad!

Postgrads need to live within 25 miles of Carfax (Ox city centre) - that's actually quite a large radius, not that I'm looking to commute from Reading or anything...
