Absolutely. That's what I did and I got polite replies, telling me my admission status.

Rejection letters have not been sent out, so there is not much you can infer. However, you can check your status with Celia Raia (cir@wjh.harvard.edu).

Hi there, I'm currently doing a MSc at Oxford. Moreover, a good friend of mine, from the US, currently attends the EBSI program. - When exactly you will hear from the college depends on a few factors, including (1) to which of the multiple deadlines you applied, (2) whether you have been admitted to your college of preference, or whether they had to shuffle you around (which is the case for the majority of postgrads), and (3) the college that eventually admits you, as they all have different timetables. For example, I applied to the (last) deadline in March and first heard from my college in mid-April. Above-mentioned friend applied to an earlier deadline and already knew her college by late March. - There are two kinds of Master's programs at Oxford: 9-month and 12-month programs. As you pointed out correctly, EBSI is designed for 12 months, but this does not mean you will do work until the end. The final months are reserved for writing and wrapping up your degree, unless you are in a 9-month program. For example, my own program officially terminates on Sep 31, but I can leave Oxford as soon as I submitted my dissertation. Thus, if you decide to come here, most probably there won't be any incompatibilities with your subsequent plans. - I can't comment on the possibility to defer admission with UMass or the other programs, but one of my American classmates did defer a PhD offer at a US school to come here. As for the benefits of doing a MSc at Oxford, you are certainly right about the brand name of the university. I have to warn you, however, to not get too excited about an intensive and stimulating education awaiting you. My experience is that many, many postgraduate students (myself included) come to Oxford to be mildly to severely disappointed. This is partly based on unfairly high expectations due to said brand name, partly on actual shortcomings on part of the university. Examples include disorganized classes, undergraduate courses as part of the core curriculum, lack of supervision, and too few opportunities for specialization. To be sure, all this differs across programs, but I have heard such complaints from friends in a wide range of programs, including EBSI. NB: I refer to Master's programs; the majority of D.Phil. students seems quite happy. That being said, I never regretted my decision to come here. The education you get is solid, I met many inspiring people, and Oxford is a really charming, lively city.

I might go to Yale as well, but haven't decided yet. Either way, I would strongly advise against the HGS meal plan, as all of my friends who stayed in HGS during their first year felt they paid substantially more than they eventually used.

I contacted faculty not before late Sep, early Oct (unless I had already a relationship with my POIs). My understanding is that this is common.

Hey there, I interviewed for social and got a call today from POI informing me of admission. I'll get the paperwork soon. Best of luck!
