Phoenixx Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Has anyone heard back from BSG? I received a mail from BSG stating my application is complete and is being assessed. I might be called for an interview btw march 5-13. Has anyone else received a similar email? It is confusing cause I don't know if this is an interview call or if they are merely confirming that my application is complete. I received a mail from oxford admissions office that the application was complete when I submitted the application more than a month ago. It seems a tad bit late to receive another mail confirming the same once again a month later. Phoenixx 1
nycdc123 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I got the same email. No clue if it is a positive sign or just a general email sent to everyone. Will wait and see.

Phoenixx Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 Got an invitation for an interview. Anyone else? Hey, when did you get it and for what date? which country are you based in? maybe they are sending country wise.
stasicg Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I am scheduled to have my interview tomorrow morning. Is anyone done with the interview?
i47 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) I will have mine tomorrow in the afternoon. Any hints on what to expect? Edited March 9, 2015 by i47
economixed_policy Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I applied last year and had an interview over Skype - it's a standard part of the admissions process. The questions were about background, motivation for applying to the program, and what future plans are using the MPP. Hope this helps.
Phoenixx Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Can you guys tell me if they gave a day or two days notice for the interview?
i47 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 @economixed_policy: Thanks. @Phoenixx: I received my invitation last Thursday.
Phoenixx Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 Has anyone else received an interview call recently? I have given up hope of getting the call now. Phoenixx 1
OxfordApplicant Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Has anyone else received an interview call recently? I have given up hope of getting the call now. same boat..
RadBrad Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 @economixed_policy: Any idea if all successful applicants are interviewed by Oxford?
OxfordApplicant Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 @economixed_policy: Any idea if all successful applicants are interviewed by Oxford? no, it's written in the MPP blog....some successful applicants don't have to do the interviewing process (it would be interesting to know the proportion...whether it's a tiny minority or whether it's, let's say, 50% of the successful applicants)
Phoenixx Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 I hear that last year only people who were interviewed were accepted. Don't know if they will be following the same trend this year too.
jestoppel Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Did they specifically mention that only interviewed applicants would be successful, last year? Because they reiterate that, this year.
handiya Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 No where they state that. They just mention that only a few will be interviewed depending upon the requirements and the need if felt via Skype or phone. Even I have not been interviewed and it's my top choice school. Any one else who can confirm and comment on the issue.
jestoppel Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 They mention it on the Admissions blog and they also sent me a reply (in response to a query) saying the same.
ruraljuror2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 The admissions blog states the policy very clearly in the comments section: Hi Fabio – thanks for getting in touch. Ever year, the admissions process is completely new and different, so it might be confusing to think about number of interviews in the past. But what we can safely say is that offers do not depend on interviews – so you could not be interviewed and still be offered a place at BSG. I hope this helps!
ruraljuror2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 No problem, I was also starting to get a little bit concerned
ruraljuror2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 More news! Everyone will be notified by early next week: Giulia Biasibetti 17 March 2015 at 10:46 Hi John – we’ll start communicating decisions from this Friday but it might take until the beginning of next week to contact everyone as we had so many applications. Good luck!
