Hello. I applied by the January deadline for the full-time programme. Haven't had an interview invitation yet. Are you applying for the full-time or part-time programme? Have you received an interview invitation yet?

Hello there! Yes, it is already the sixth week and still no interviews. If something's going to happen (like an interview) it should happen this week. Haha

I have also gone completely crazy with the anticipation. I think I've gotten down to 25 second intervals between hitting inbox refresh. This is torture. No clue on what could be causing any possible delays.
Hello folks. Just want to let you know that someone from the other Student Room thread shared that he/she was invited for interview for the part-time DPhil in Social Data Science. Folks, I am losing hope. I am already expecting a rejection. Interviews were being sent out and nothing on my end.
You know folks, I emailed the OII before (last week) to ask if all interview invitations were already sent. They did not reply. Heck, they didn't even open my email message.

I just received an email asking me to participate in a feedback survey on my experience as an applicant. First message from Ox since I applied, nearly fell off my chair thinking it was an interview invite (it wasn’t). They’ve got a sick sense of humor at this point lol. Hahaha

Received the same email too! Had the same feeling because of the word "invitation"!

Let's just hope it's a good sign, folks.

Thankfully I read the word 'survey' first but had the exact same thoughts about their sense of humour. 😥
I took the survey to look for clues and the first page said that our answers wouldn't have any bearing on our assessments so I'm assuming receiving the survey invite doesn't necessarily indicate anything has been finalized.
I applied part time DPhil ICSs, no word at all. Besides the part time SDS in the other thread, has anyone been offered an interview?

Hello, full time dphil in ICSS here, and no word yet. Based on a thread I saw from 2021, applicants were being invited to interviews as late as the last week of Feb, so I'm thinking the 3-6 week timeline post submission date may be bogus.
Full time ICSS also here, no reply

Yes but I think the deadline was 22 January last year.

Yes, the deadline last year was 22 January 2021.

A few days ago, I already accepted that I am going to be rejected. My proposal sucks anyway. I just hope they send me the rejection email ASAP so I can move on with my life.
