Did anybody receive an answer yet? Offer or rejection? Or at least status change in the applicant portal?

I have not. My interview was about three weeks ago and nothing has been updated yet. I think it's still relatively early, however, (even though it doesn't feel like it). The bureaucracy can take a bit of time. I'd be interested to know as soon as people start hearing anything, though!

I'm so nervous... Is your track/research proposal in literature or history by any chance?

Well now I'm nervous. I'm planning to specialise in Mycenaean Studies. But not being rejected yet could be good sign?!

I just got my offer but am sadly not nominated for funding. I have to see now if I can get something figured out since I'm an International student.

Me too!! Got my MPhil offer via mail today. It is the unofficial offer notification, but they said that I will receive soon the official offer from the PAO. Now I’m anxious about the colleges. Is there any way of being rejected because no college wants you?

no x no need to worry—for postgrad it’s the faculty that approves you, you’ll be assigned a college definitely!! congratulations!!

Did anyone get nominated for funding or has any advice on what to do as an International Student? Since I've gotten this far already it would be shame if I wouldn't be able to go because of the money. They told me today if I can get partial funding on my own other ways for funding from the faculty could open.

I'm an international student as well. I originally applied for a PhD but received an MPhil offer, and was also not nominated for funding.

Congratulations! Me too. Please let us know if you find out anything about other fundings, because I don’t know what they mean by securing other fundings. I know that some colleges offer internal scholarships, but I don’t know if there is anything I can do before being assigned to a college

I'm a UK student, and my proposal is on the lit side. They did say I'd been nominated for funding, but might not find out the results of that until the summer
