Oxford graduate applicants 2009/2010

Wow, Fleur, that's great! Congratulations, I'm really happy for you. To get the equivalent of an AHRC grant is as good as it gets. Also, it's good that your heard back from them so quickly. What programme did you get accepted to, if you don't mind my asking?

If I don't get some fairly substantial amount from Oxford I will be very unlikely to be able to take the offer, and will have to go to the LSE instead! So... it's all to play for!

Thanks for the info Hobnob and Fleur!

Anyway, I sent an email to the Politics and International Relations department asking if the ERSC scholarship has already been allocated (although it's a virtual impossibility for me to get it). I also asked if the department has any scholarships.

one of my dissertation supervisors from my undergrad degree said st x has good food and a good atmosphere and some nice accommodation.

first two are great - i'll be living out so third doesn't really apply

but i'll be at st x too in october! which subject are you?

I'll be at QEH -- MPhil in Development Studies. It's funny, I've read a few posts on forums here and there praising the food at St. X! Great to see another studentroomer bound for St X. Now to find the money ...

Hello all, strange occurrence for me yesterday.

A month or so ago I accepted my place at St. Antony's and returned all forms. Yesterday, however, I received a notification that Green Templeton has offered me a college-linked award with the Clarendon (I had already known about the Clarendon) and the University is transferring me to GTC from Antony's, even after I've filed all appropriate paperwork.

Those in the funding office say it is not out of the ordinary and they also say it's a good thing. I do believe them, but was wondering if anyone else here has ever heard of this happening and might offer some ideas as to whether this is a positive, negative, or neutral move...

Cool! I'm at QEH too! Actually, I think about half my time will be there, half at the econ department (I'm a MSc Economics for Development student). If you don't mind my asking, what country are you from?

I was wondering if I do accept this college place, will the department still search for a funded college place for me and in this case transfer me?

I think I saw a post on either this thread or on the Cambridge thread about someone who had been accepted to a college, but was being transferred to another because there was a financial award available for him/her. Not sure where it is exactly...

I'm from South Africa -- got my undergraduate in the US. And yourself?
