andrew99 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm applying for the MSt at Oxford in international human rights law. I have an international law certificate from law school, but it hasn't been of great help to my job search. The MSt is just part-time and online except for in the summer, so it's sort of perfect for working on the side. What are you trying for? Human rights law is definitely a tough field to break into, so good luck. Hopefully the Oxford degree would set you apart. I'm going for an environmental policy PhD, already did a post-JD masters in the subject. Unfortunately I still have no professional experience in the field so hoping research experience and contacts I make will help me with that.

mallorn Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 At this point I think my remaining programs have completely forgotten about me. Giving them until April 1 until I send e-mails. Why do I get a feeling that I'll just get rejection letters in reply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtdvr Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Waiting to hear from UT is gonna kill me. We're on week 10 from their alleged "6-8 week" review time. I want to go to there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isawstars Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Has anyone heard from Portland State? My deadline was Feb 1st..... and still.... nada!!! I'm wondering if schools are waiting for April 15th before sending other letters. Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sansao Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 One of my schools updated my financial aid info, but there's some quirky stuff with it. This finally gave me a legitimate reason to contact the program without having to inquire about my status. Maybe they'll include that information in their response. Between graduation, not hearing from anywhere, homework, etc., my nerves are just about shot. There should be a post-application season rehab program.

Not that this site isn't like desperate grad applicants anonymous as it is. I'm going to need at least a week of cognitive reboot after this is over.
