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.

Sorry, I meant next month

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.

Thanks! I guess I'm stressing so hard these days. And hoping Lincoln or Merton or Univ will come through for me somehow within the next 5 weeks, lol.

I have accepted an offer for a History (modern British strand Mst.). I'm self-funded and already have an undergraduate degree from Oxford, but from some time ago. I just put down the college I had most affinity with from previous experience, but given the passage of time I'm not sure how relevant that is. Either way it will be interesting to see what happens. I envisage spending very little time in college anyway....

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.

I think it really depends - it does say that for some scholarships, you can expect to hear back as late as 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

So many questions…very little answers 🤦🏽*♀️

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.
