Oxford Postgraduate Offer Holders 2024

I applied to Magdalene too. I got rejected and then offered a place at Kellogg. I got an offer for MSc Global Health Science and Epidemiology. Quite a competitive program. I was recently interviewed by the Africa Oxford Mastercard Scholarship. Hoping to hear good news next week.

So, it doesn't actually matter if you've selected a certain college as your preference to be considered for funding by them, right? At least, not unless they've specified you definitely have to, right? I keep seeing on the websites "[X] college will consider all eligible candidates for funding whether or not you've specified our college as your preference" and yeah, I can read plain English but I'm just worried they're lying to me lol.

Don't worry, you're right! You will be considered for funding everywhere.

I wonder when is the last day before one should realistically “give up” on expecting internal funding? Like, is it safe to say for example that if you don’t hear anything by April 30th, you’re cooked? I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard of anyone securing funding from Oxford in May or June.

Does anyone know what "waitlisted for funding" actually entails for the DPhil? Are we waiting on other people to reject their offers so that their funding trickles down, or are we also being considered for scholarships that haven't finished making decisions yet? Do people write to the admissions office to enquire about their position on the waiting list? I'm going nuts here

More questions: Where exactly do MSt/MPhil offer holders see they are "waitlisted for funding"? Did it appear on the Graduate Applicant Self-Service portal, or were you informed via email? Tks.

For me, I was informed directly via email by the admin of my funding scheme (Ertegun). I haven't heard of other master's students being informed of waitlisting so far.

Indeed, I have not either. Only the DPhil offer holders seem to get a note on their portal.
Still rooting for you, Sheriza! 🤞

For those that have heard back from their first choice college, was the email from the college or graduate admissions (or someone else)?

From the college itself!

I wonder has anyone heard back from Nuffield?
