Someone asked if Oxford offered funding and I don't know how to reply directly so doing it here. Oxford does not offer "funding" in the typical US graduate school sense. The only offers are in the forms of scholarships that I understand are fairly competitive. You might get a scholarship or you might not. They are generally offered through the college system there. If you qualify for such scholarships from a particular college that you did not apply for they will even transfer you to that college so you can get the funding, unless you requested that they not do this on your application.

I got my acceptance from Oxford just today! Another friend as well.

It can be even more complicated than that. I applied for an Mst in Archaeology. I just heard yesterday (Jan 19th) via an email from a professor who congratulated me for my acceptance and went on to describe a course she taught that she thought would fit with my interests. She prefaced the letter by saying, " I am writing to congratulate you on your acceptance to the Oxford Mst programme! If you haven't already, you should be receiving official notification very soon." I know that the decisions were made for the first round of applicants on Jan. 14th but as of today, Jan. 20th, still nothing official via post.

I'm not sure why it has not been mentioned but there are a lot of grammatical errors in your 1st paragraph. I'm assuming you have already submitted it but if not here goes: Ever since when I came to America when I was 10 years old, my computer and television became my best friends. Both of my parents started to work full time at the laundry cleaner right away, and I was left at my aunt’s house to face the unknown challenges at of the American elementary school. Being the first Asian student in the class has attracted many much attention, but my inabilityies to speak the English language and my lack of knowledge in American culture have made created a barrier for me to make new friends. However, by looking up English phrases in on the internet and watching children shows like “Arthur” in television, I was able to smash the barrier and connect with America. The media technology has expanded my intellectual horizon, and that is where my passion for the field of communication field has started.
