I’ve applied for the MPhil, still anxiously waiting, my interview was 3 weeks ago today

Can DPhil applicants be admitted without an interview, or is that always a must? Because it says on the website for postgrad that interviews aren’t usually conducted as part of the process. Also, any updates on the so-called magic button?

Did any of you also get the email about applications re-opening for the MSt and MPhil?

I've seen someone get admitted without an interview, so I guess that could happen. But my magic button is still there.

Oh ok, I guess it indeed depends on the area of research. Just freaking out and comparing threads from previous years, I think people got offers around this time last year. I wonder whether they’ve started giving decisions yet

Yeah I guess this is around the time when decisions come out. The wait is killing me

Relatable. My button is still there, and my status still reads “ready for assessment”. It also says that my application can be/has been considered. I have no idea what to make of it!

Yup same! We could be waiting for a whole other week for all we know

Apparently the magic button doesn’t even indicate much, but I don’t know if people have ever received offers without it disappearing…

Depends on the stream for theology. Some do not interview at all

Do we think that if they were to reject applicants, they would’ve done so already? Or is that just something that one wouldn’t be able to predict .. like do they give o ur rejections first and then the offers follow? Just looking at things on a par with last year’s timeline which probably isn’t the best thing to do
