Oxford MSt in English (all strands)

Hey Everyone! Despite my funny username, I like to think I'm a serious applicant for Oxbridge! I applied for the 1900s-Present strand and am so nervous! I'm an American studying English Literature with a certificate in Creative writing at a top 5 university here in the states. Also - on other message boards everyone keeps talking about the "button" disappearing. What is this button?!?!?

hi guys thanks for the thread to keep track! I got an offer from cambridge and York so far, i applied to oxford english 650-1450, theres only 17-20 places for EVERY strand of english in the MSt, so i imagine they will take like 5 or so of each : (

They have 72 spots open for all strands of English (found underneath the Key Facts table) on the MSt pages. Each Strand has a certain fraction of those spots, which varies by department and the amount of applications they get. The 1900-Present strand gets something like 200 applications a year, and they have about 22 spots out of the 72.

I've applied too 🙂 Looks like we should hear in the next week or two judging by previous year threads...

what strand

4th 1550-1700 applicant! You Anonymous #3?

hello all! i seem to be one of the few on this thread that applied for 1830-1914 😭😭

im the first 650-1450 applicant, still on submitted

I'm also applying for this period! It looks like they get less applicants than places on the key facts table (unsure though?) Does that mean it's less competitive?

no i looked at those stats, they just take less for that course too so its the same competitiveness really

My upload button has disappeared ahhhhh

My upload button has disappeared ahhhhh

Where do you find this table? And how do you know if you are the “first” applicant?

i assume they meant first to reply to this thread! i'm also applying for the medieval one and still on 'ready for assessment'
