ped Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Oh sorry about that Parker, haha Not a problem. Thanks for the congratulations. I guess this one toss of the dice wasn't quite as mediocre as the rest of them.
tsgriffey Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Yep that is incredibly fortunate, enjoy the time over there
Marst Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Wow, it's great to have such a specific scholarship available. They don't happen to have those for every state, do they? Many congrats on your scholarship! Edited May 20, 2015 by Marst
Thistle399 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Apparently, I'm being placed at Wolfson (although haven't heard anything official from them yet). Anyone know anything about Wolfson - good, bad, or otherwise? Edited June 4, 2015 by Thistle399

dar19 Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Does anyone got Trinity college? the accommodation is a bit expensive. sigh. Is it worth it to stay inside the college accomodation?
OX_CS Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 BUUUMP! Just got an email for an interview for CS. Bricking it!
PermanentStudent Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 Anyone else really hate all this waiting?? I submitted my application back in September for the November deadline for the MSc in Conservation, Biodiversity and Management with OUCE. The website says I shouldn't hear back until mid January but man, I wish I could just know now! I also applied to Imperial (still waiting...) and Exeter (received an offer), but would love to attend Oxford more than anything. How are you guys dealing with uncertainty?
TK2 Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 I'm applying for PhD at the school of Geography and Environment, particularly TSU, but apparently there's not much point in applying particularly early (deadline is Jan 20th) so I'm going to give the research proposal another few weeks to brew before submitting.

I also applied for the November deadline for MSc in Conservation, Biodiversity and Management. The uncertainty is killing me. I know it says 8-10 weeks from the November deadline, but I keep having hope that we will find out early and checking my email all the time. I see a lot of people online saying that in past years they were told that they would be re-evaluated in the January cycle so they wouldn't even find out until March or April. I really don't want that to happen. I'd rather just know if I'm in or out now! I keep trying to just live in the moment for the holidays and not think about it. It's not really working haha! The program looks so amazing though! If I don't get in this year, I might just apply again because I thinks it's a really innovative and cool program for biodiversity. The faculty seem so passionate and I see that a lot of alumni end up going into the PhD right after. How are you dealing with the uncertainty yourself?

That's so cool that you're applying to the same program! I think it is such a great course, and I love how easy it is to move into the DPhil right after. I submitted my application right after it opened in September and I've just been so nervous since then! I've also been checking my email about fifty times a day haha. I check it as soon as I wake up. I'm in California and eight hours behind, so every morning I hope that I'll have an answer waiting for me. I'm also trying to enjoy the holidays, but every time anyone asks me what I would like as a gift, I can't think of anything besides a place at Oxford...or funding haha. I really hope I hear as soon as possible. I have to give my decision to Exeter by February 15th, so this uncertainty is also really stressful. If I don't get in, I'll do my MSc at Exeter or Imperial (if I get in there) and try for a DPhil at Oxford later. I miss being in university and don't want to take any more time away. Man, I really hope I don't have to wait until March or April to find out if I'm accepted!! That would just be torture... I've been trying to keep myself as busy as possible to deal with the uncertainty and to take my mind off of everything. It isn't really working, but at least I'm getting a lot of other things done!

I think we will find out soon! At least in January that is. I am actually just graduating from a Master's program at Georgetown in D.C. in May and I only applied to the Oxford program. I was looking for a biodiversity program that I could enter to continue the thesis research I have been doing at Georgetown and the Oxford program was the perfect fit. I was absolutely thinking about using it to expand to PhD if possible. Because of this, I'm a little less anxious about timing and whether this is the year for me or not. It's super exciting that you have already been accepted into other programs though! Congrats! Either way, you are on a great track! Also, just conservation and biodiversity love <3 <3 <3 No matter what, you are doing awesome and rewarding research and work! Also, I have the same feeling living in D.C. that when I wake up I could be seeing that email. And the Christmas gift of Oxford is so perfect. I have been all secretive about it to my family and haven't told anyone I applied, but if the notifications came out this week, I would be SO SO SO happy to tell everyone.

And thank you, hopefully we'll both get into Oxford! <3 I'm so the opposite! I haven't been secretive at all. My family has known that I've wanted to go to Oxford since I was young, so it was only a matter of time before the conversations changed from "when I apply..." to "now that I've applied..." As soon as notifications come out, I'll probably tell everyone I see about it haha
PermanentStudent Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 Awoke to an email this morning stating that my application will be reevaluated with the Jan 20th deadline applicants. Not a rejection, so fingers are still crossed!
OX_CS Posted December 22, 2016 Posted December 22, 2016 Had my interview yesterday and now just need to wait for a final decision by the first couple of weeks of January. Even more anxious now :S .

Even more anxious now :S . Hi, How it went? I applied for Jan deadline, and I had received an email that my application is ready for assessment, but I still have not received any assessment questions, I am worried, can you share with me the interview questions. Let me know when you hear from them, I hope you get in.
OX_CS Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I received the admissions questions a couple of days after I submitted, if I remember correctly. In hindsight, if I had known I would have tried to time it better as they weren't easy to complete on two working days of 9-7! Luckily I work in an AI research center so just 'pretended' to do work and got on with the questions at my desk instead . In other news, today is the final working day of the first 2 weeks of January, so I expect november deadliners should be hearing back today! That's assuming they're able to sort everything out in the rough timeframe they offered, otherwise hopefully next week. Living in a different timezone definitely doesn't help though. I just want the wait to be over; rejection or offer!
OX_CS Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Looks like I've been pushed into January deadline which means another 2 months or so to wait for a response. Now not sure what to do as my backup choice will need a response well before then.
Neville Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Accepted into MS Biodiversity, Conservation & Management. December 20th.

plankton890 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Hi everyone! Just checking in to see how things are going. I have applied for a DPhil with the Department of Social Policy & Intervention on November 18 but received an email in January that my application was pushed to the Jan deadline. I finished my MSc in the same Department in 2015-16 and know my supervisors pretty well. Experiencing lots of anxiety and checking my email a lot but I don't think I can hope to hear back before March. Anyone applying to the same course/same department?

I have applied to DPhil Social Policy by the same deadline. I have not heard anything yet. Fingers crossed! Delay in response from them also limits my time to prepare for external scholarships, in case I am accepted.
PermanentStudent Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I still haven't heard anything. Fingers crossed for this week!

I've emailed my course administrator, and she said I'll hopefully know their answer by the end of this week!
