ssimonin Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I've been offered a place at Oxford to do a DPhil in English. In my acceptance letter, I was told that I'm 'on the reserve list' for the Clarendon. I assumed this means, 'we've already offered Clarendon to our top choices, and if any of those people turn us down, you might get a look-in.' I suppose it's possible that they haven't made the decisions yet -- but if that were the case, wouldn't they just say that? ... On the other hand, after a quick look at the Results Search on gradcafe, I don't see anyone announcing that they have a Clarendon. Coincidence, or have the decisions not been made yet? Anyone know more about this reserve list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alterman Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I never heard of it. On the Clarendon site they mention they hope to send notifications by mid-April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssimonin Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 (Whoops, should be 2014 in the subject, not 2013-14.) Thanks for your input! Perhaps 'reserve list' is their way of saying 'you're shortlisted' -- who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
