The waiting anxiety gets me. I've been checking last 2 year's result; seems like people started hearing back around 13th March.

Is anyone here applying to the DPhil at BSG?

Please check the upload buttons tab on your portal. The button has disappeared for a number of applicants for MPP program.

Will you mind sharing a little about your background? It will give us more clarity to understand what is going on! Thanks-

[janoooo]

I think that not everyone passes an interview. It is not an indicator of assured admission either according to older posts so do not worry!

Of course! This is my second round of applications. I was in the military for 6 years and as such am just completing my undergrad. I believe I just have an unusual background, and that the admissions team wanted to ask a few more questions. Given the application page, interviews are just an opportunity for the team to ask questions.

[Shrems]

Very interesting background indeed! 
Let’s hope for the best here! ??

Hey, found this on the disappeared uplod button in a previous admissions

This has been thoroughly discussed on the student room. the conclusions are: 

1. The Oxford website says it means a decision has been made. It is not indicative of a rejection or an offer. 
 

2. There are people who have had it disabled and gone on to get an offer and others who have gone on to get rejected. Obviously, many more people will end up being rejected than accepted, so a false association has been made between this happening and rejection.

results went out the 16th of March last year, we will probably hear from them at the beginning of next week.

Make sense , but it kind a make me nervous, so we can then even expect a decision by tomorrow?

Hello, I just received an email a few hours back informing me that I’ve been out on the waiting list. Does anyone know the probability of getting a place in thr batch of 23 once you’re on the waiting list? 

[janoooo]

Does anyone got an acceptance letter? sorry idk about the waiting list  

[janoooo]

or rejection ... 

[Everett]

I just got my acceptance this evening.

[RD0502]

Congratulations!

[Oxford boy]

Congratulations to those admitted .Is it true that all admitted and waitlisted results are out on friday 11 th march.  I guess those who have not received any communication  by now may not be accepted this year.In 2021 majority of admitted candidates got mail on 16 th ( tuesday) and in 2020 it was on friday13 thmarch.Can we expect acceptance emails now ?

Looking for any trend to the contrary but so far for BSG acceptances are sent on the same day and rejections follow after 2 days. However, in other departments, batches are mixed i.e. both acceptance and rejections are communicated in batches.

I have seen very few people with admits on the internet - of course this all could be confirmation bias. Hoping for the best. If nothing happens, at least I assumed for a greater part of the weekend that I have already been rejected.

Though I know rejection it is but I still am looking forward as MIRACLES DO HAPPEN
