Yes auditing the course may be a good option.

Same here, no news.

I'm also not aware of any status update for Oxford applications and I've been made to believe they don't have one and we rather have to rely on emails/postage.

Congrats!

Same here.

Keep hope alive theregalrenegade. British culture seems to be a bit different.

Eve if decisions are made, there's a procedure that makes it take so long I imagine. I'm sure we'll hear soon enough. Their guidelines say expect notification in March.

I did but I haven't heard a thing. If you were included with the January pile we should be hearing sometime this month. I do believe the department finished making their decisions already though.

UVA gave admitted persons up to April 15th though I imagine they'd like to get decisions as soon as possible.

It was a special call. I received an early admit as I was nominated for a fellowship.

Soon enough

I'm almost through with E.H. Carr's What is History. I'm finding it to be a very interesting read.

Unless you have any personal or specific reason for wanting to do the exact program that you applied to then I'd say you should shift the application. For one, it seems that you are more certain about getting a funded offer that way. Also, from your description it seems that the programs basically differ in name only. I'd say go for it!

Hey, It's not bad. I do find that the above quoted area could be reconsidered a bit. You seem to be describing the method, which is a bit redundant given the audience (professors who will be well verse in the method I assume) You can be a bit more personal and provide greater context as to what made you interested in it. Just my 2 cents. All the best with your application.
