Admission Chances - Oxford Msc Law and Finance


AaITA

Hi,
I'd like to know whether I'm eligible or not for the OXFORD MLF.
Here is a short resume.
I'm an italian student, I'm almost done with my laurea magistrale in law (5 years program that should count as a BA + one year master) in one of the top italian law school.
This program is pretty new so it's hard to tell whether my final score would be rated as a 2:1 or not.
During my 5 years though, I did a summer school in Paris on IBT and i won a scolarship for a Georgetown law honors program in London( 6 months) where i studied commercial law and arbitration.
I worked for an italian law firm as an intern(i got an offer at the end of the intern and i will be working there pretty soon) and I've been selected as a member of the Wilem Vis Moot Commercial Arbitration's team and I'll be one of the litigators in Vienna.
I've been rowing for the University Team(not in the first crew though).
What do u think are my chances to be offered?

Thanks in advance.

The only people who could really comment sensibly are (1) someone who works for Oxford admissions (and is willing to identify themselves as such) or (2) someone who has nearly your exact background and has either been accepted or rejected from Oxford. Everyone else would just be guessing randomly.

That is what I was looking forward to when I wrote on this website.
Do u think Oxford would give me any Italian Alumni contacts If I asked?
Whom should I ask?

Thanks

Are you really not going to apply if someone on the Internet (even an alum of the program) tells you that your chances aren't good? What if they're wrong?

If you want to apply for the MSc, apply, and let the admissions department tell you whether or not your chances are good. These "what are my chances" threads always seem so pointless. In reality, I think people just want to be reassured by other people that their resume is good enough. But that sort of advice is worth exactly as much as you paid for it.
