Oxford still has openings

[CrazedRaven]

Something is awfully weird.

I was rejected by Oxford a few months ago from their MPhil in Modern Chinese Studies. Seeing as how it was my first application for postgrad study, I was a bit naive about things and I was in a much weaker position academically than I am currently now.

What is weird, however, is the fact that Oxford has a list of open applications; in other words, Masters programmes that are still open for applications. Modern Chinese Studies just so happens to be one of them. Forgive me for sounding awfully rude, but I can't help but feel awfully jipped, always under the impression that the positions would be full up.

Obviously, my application was probably not appealing, but I was wondering if isn't too crazy to contact them? Of course, I have to be very realistic about my options, but I nevertheless really want to do this subject and if there is even a sliver of a chance left, I would certainly take it. Of course, I might be completely and utter delusional. Thanks for your opinion.
