Oxford Postgraduate Waitlisters 2022

Original post by Anonymous

For the Japanese studies person, how did you find out about the other wait listers? And also why so many on the waiting list if your programme only has 3 places per year? Thanks

This is the MSc, i think it's taking in about 11 people this year? I met the other waitlisters through someone on this forum who got accepted into the same programme! I dont suppose there's a lot of people on the waitlist for my programme, I assume 5 or less.

I got waitlisted for Child development and education… after 2 round of evaluation 😢

I wrote the email to the education department and asked them about the 2022/23 course target capacity, the number of people who got waitlisted in my programme, which place I stand, and when I could get a further decision from their side.
They replied to me immediately, however, they did not share too much information and I quote the content below:

"Concerning the waitlist, more information is available on the University website at the following link. https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/after-you-apply/decision-timeline under the Academic Assessment tab. Decisions concerning the waitlist can be made up to the date of August 31st 2022, and if a place becomes available then you will be informed immediately."

The date of August 31st that is a really long wait...

Wow🤧🤧🤧 I can’t wait till then hahaha… it is too long. I got another offer from UCL anyway, and there is no deadline to accept my offer. So, my plan right now is to wait till the end of June, and if nothing changes, I’ll accept UCL offer🙂 what about you? What is your back up plan?

I think that a college has to accept you if you are given an offer. Hopefully they will let us know earlier if they can make an offer.

I think (and I may be wrong so it's worth checking) that if you are given an offer you will then get a college place. It's more so an issue in terms of college accommodation as there is often a lot of demand for that. But if you get an offer you should get a college place. Because if you think about how offer holders get assigned colleges, if there weren't any spaces elsewhere, that offer holder that's withdrawn which has resulted in you getting a space, means that there then would be a space at the college they were assigned. So I'm pretty sure you'll get a college place if you get an offer.

Yes, I meant college accommodation! Sorry for the confusion.

Ah my apologies. I would say though that there is a lot of private accommodation in Oxford as well, so it might also be worth considering renting privately. There are lots of house share websites that advertise rooms if you're wanting a more affordable and social option, as well as studios and one-bed flats for more privacy and independence.

Also I think it varies massively by college as they have varying degrees of accommodation so it is still possible to find some, if you get an offer later on.

Has anyone sent a LOCI after getting waitlisted, and is it common to at Oxford? I tried sending one but the person who sent me the waitlist email is on leave until June so now I'm not sure who to contact.

Ah okay, I think in instances where the waiting list is not ranked, this sort of thing might be very useful. But otherwise, I don't know how worthwhile it would be. That being said, I don't think it would hurt your application's prospects, so if you want to then go for it.

Hi everyone! I would like to ask what is subject access form? Is that a form that we can see my rank in the waiting list for my course?
Also, somehow we're going to get a response instead of a silent rejection, right？
