Oxford graduate applicants 2009/2010

I love that everyone hear is neurotic like and thinks about envelope shapes as much as I do. It makes me feel normal, even as I am trying to distract myself by singing the entire OST of The Sound of Music. Ho-ho-le-odlei-ho everyone!

I'll call tomorrow. I really need to know because besides driving me insane, I need to stop accepting arbitrary offers from other Unis and start zeroing in on one. It takes ages to work out loans, transcripts and what-not in India.

It's all about obsessing over envelope sizes!

I got overly excited by a chunky envelope in my mailbox yesterday, only to discover it was a big council tax bill. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed.

Don't bother obsessing about that. It'll be exactly the same type of envelope regardless of the outcome. :wink:

The only difference is that offer letters may contain some information about funding, but that's only one extra sheet or so, so the letter will be thin either way.

Honestly, the envelope will tell you nothing. It's all about stamp angles... :ninja:

oh dear! they sent them already? does that mean rejection? because as far as i understand, they send an email and a letter to accepted applicants, and a snail mail letter to, well, everyone else ... :frown:

Not necessarily. I know someone who got an offer last year without an email. Probably fine email's used more for international students as it's a way of guaranteeing someone will get the news, rather than relying on snail mail.

Wow glad you mentioned that. If not I'd probably have burnt it had I received a thin piece of letter lol. I always thought the funding information would come in the form of borchures etc., making the letter a bit bulkier.

I didnt get an email either, just snail mail, and I ve been accepted! Just wondering if they were so quick with me because I submitted my application about 1 week before the deadline?
