For October 2026, did you end up getting in?

Hi, I applied. My 'magic button' disappeared a few hours ago, not sure if it's a good sign(?

What is the magic button? Does Oxford ever update statuses like Cambridge does? It goes from "Submitted" to "Under Review" to "Decision Pending" in the application portal in the case of Cambridge?

No, Oxford does not do that. But people check if their “upload” buttons under Supporting Documents disappear and that means a decision has been made.

Well. Seems a decision has been made but has not been communicated to me 🙃

And yes, it does take time from the moment your button disappears until you receive an email. I have seen on this thread that it can vary, but I think around a day or a couple of days.

Mine disappeared for Sociology MSc on Feb 27th. Still haven’t received communication from Oxford, don’t can take a lot longer than a few days! You might end up waiting until their general release of decisions.

Yes, I’m very hopeful! I’m ready for a rejection, but I’m confident I have what it takes to excel in Oxford’s program.

Mine has disappeared too! The whole supporting documents section has gone too (more than just the button), is this normal? Best of luck to everyone!

I can still access my supporting documents page, but the section below the already uploaded files where the text + button has gone. Just in case my first comment was a bit unclear! :smile:
