Yes, unlike Cambridge, I think Oxford issues offers around mid to end-January for those that applied by the 14th November deadline. You should probably expect to hear back soon & good luck!

Not really, I do think it would be around the end of the week probably given Friday's 20th March and decisions in past years have broadly come in around then.

congratulations!! i got an offer as well, but my condition is a 3.8. is your gpa scale out of 4?

Congratulations to everyone who got an offer. I just got rejected. Just wanted to know your backgrounds to check what I could have done better. I hold a bachelor's degree in Poli. Sci. from an Indian uni and a master's in IR from a British uni, but it's probably my non-distinction score that got me rejected.
