Oxford Blavatnik School (MPP) 2014 Admitted Thread

[4736]

Anyone in? 

[tingtong13]

Hey has oxford started sending decisions? I gave an interview and am now waiting

[4736]

I'm waiting too after having an interview last week. Last year they sent out decisions to some people (acceptances and rejections) before the final deadline

[Tintin2014]

I didnt get one as yet and i dont think my profile is that strong for a straight acceptance? Any insights to how was your CV and grades would be good so i could balance my hopes. Cheers

[4736]

I think i'm about the same as you. not a straight acceptance. did your interview go well? mine was okay.

[Tintin2014]

Nothing spectacular..Mine was hardly an interview but more of a talk, what questions did they ask you??

[T.O.M]

hi everyone I didnt get an interview as yet. does it mean I stand no chance and am rejected? 

[4736]

Since no one seems to have been officially admitted yet, maybe they're still interviewing. 

[T.O.M]

@4736 & @Tintin2014 can i ask you what questions did they ask you during the interview?? COuld you post what did they particularly focus on

[reneeeee]

[47365]

I still haven't heard anything and the results were supposed to be released today. Did anyone get an admission email?

[47365]

Finally got the admissions email today and was waitlisted.  

[alvarob]

I was nervous because i didn't get any news for Oxford, and finally today i got some, getting an online interview for tomorrow, any advice? how did your interviews went?

[Giardap]

I have been accepted.

Has anyone received information on funding or which college they will be member of?

[OxfordApplicant]

Has anyone received an email specifying when they are aiming to hold the interviews? 

[Cristianvb]

Yes. "We are aiming to hold the interviews between Thursday 5^th March 2015 and Friday 13^th March 2015" and decisions should be released by the end of march.

[OxfordApplicant]

I received this email only today but it looks a bit late...I am wondering weather it is a bad sign or not

[Phoenixx]

I received the same today. interviews between march 5-13. is this an interview call. cause the subject read- application confirmation. 

[Phoenixx]

if everyone received it, it is probably a mere application confirmation?

[Phoenixx]

I received this email only today but it looks a bit late...I am wondering weather it is a bad sign or not

is it a later date for you?

[nycdc123]

Received the same email. I think this is a general email sent to everyone. 

[OxfordApplicant]

yep, general email at this point

[OxfordApplicant]

bump, anyone has interviews scheduled?

[Policy's Son]

No interviews scheduled yet. From what I gather they seem to contact people about a day or two before to schedule an interview.

I have two degrees , my first degree has decent grades (just below the 3.7) but from an ivy North American institution. My second degree was notorious for not distributing strong grades. The ones with top grades are at the Supreme Court the rest of us are on Wall Street.

I am not sure I am a shoe in and am nervously waiting for an interview to believe I have a half chance.
