2023 Oxford Social Data Science OII

It's my first choice. What's your background?

First choice as well.

Social sciences/Communication major, Self-taught programming for three years, including two years of research working exp in academia. Research exp covers Computer Vision, NLP and mathematical modelling. One work-in-progress paper.

Wish us best luck!

That's a lot of experience! I think I've seen you in last year's thread as well. Are you reapplying?

Applied first time at last year of uni but didn’t get in. So try again after the rounds and spending more time to prepare. But totally understand how competitive the program is.

How abt u?

My first time! Currently in my last year of uni. This program is really peculiar because I heard the personal statement questions change every time. I realized how different it is from other programs and had a hard time writing it.

I feel worried abt my writing too. I rmb someone asked for feedback after receiving a rejection, and they told the person it was mainly due to the writing skills.

Have u submitted?

Yes, applied for the November deadline. I heard that the personal statement is the most important component of the supporting documents for this program, so I guess the writing is definitely an issue.

Finger crossed! Good to know someone out there during the wait haha

Good luck to us! I know I don't have a huge chance. Upper second information science degree, 90-th GMAT scores, 3 years working in analytics and some ML research. But hey, shoot for the stars.

- Any guesses as to when we would hear back for Nov deadline applications? I believe last two years it was Jan 11-12 but the application deadline was also a week later. So possibly this week (Jan 3-6) or next (Jan 9-13)?

Yeah based on last years’ records and the “8-10 weeks” stated in timeline site. But definitely hope it’s this week!
