Oxford University funding/college placement decisions

[InGaussweTrust]

Has anyone heard about funding and/or college placement yet? Still waiting to see what kind of funding to expect and set up my living situation.

I got into the college of my preference (Balliol). I have been told that at this point it is unlikely that I will receive college funding since these are more often awarded in conjunction with university funding. The results will probably go out within two weeks.

Yes I got an offer from Wolfson College but funding situation is not that great for me too. Still figuring out external funding sources.

Thanks for the responses. Yeah I am concerned about funding options coming up empty for me as well. I'm not sure if finding out about decisions later on is good/bad/non-determinative. I'll post when I hear back about it, for anyone else that may still be anxiously waiting.

I got into St. Anne's college, but have not heard about funding either. The website says mid-May, so I guess that settles it : we won't be awarded funding! :/

Still waiting on a college.

Still waiting too...on college and funding. Starting to get a little neurotic about it. End of May is the "deadline" for them to assign so we have to hear by this week I would think.

Just heard from my department that I was awarded Clarendon funding! I am absolutely over the moon since I assumed all those awards had been handed out months ago. The email was from a department head and there was no mention of my college yet, but at this point I don't care too much.

 

VERY EXCITED!

Wow, that's extremely good news! Congrats!

Thanks be to Gauss, I hope to have a pleasant surprise as well . Is an early admission a good sign? Or it doesn't mean anything at all? Is a January admission considered "early"? Sorry for the interrogation

Did you apply for the November deadline? Because then January acceptances are about the norm. Similar for January applications where March (or late February) is the norm.

Yes I did. Alright then, I'll just try to be patient

Also, because you are a November applicant, you will have to wait longer for funding decisions because those will be made at the same time as those for the January deadline.
