Thank you very much for the information!


I must admit that this attempt was unsuccessful for me...To be honest, I am not surprised by the future refusal, given the sad circumstances of the last few weeks.

But, defeat is also a result.


Once again, congratulations to all the successful candidates with an amazing result, and I wish those colleagues who did not receive an offer this year not to lose hope and try next!

Remember, you are all awesome!!

I wonder if anyone received offers for the MLF today? Or was it just a waiting list?
I saw someone got their offer today on Linkedin at 10:00 GMT. So finders crossedGuess I'll get an automatic rejection at 2:00 a.m.

Any MPhil/DPhil got the button to disappear? Both of mine are still there. 

Sorry to hear that, don't be dragged down because of rejection as Oxford or any other masters programme is not a live or die for you or your career. Better luck next time or with other ongoing applications you may have! 

Thank you very much for the information!

Has anyone received rejections for the MLF today?

Thank you very much for your kind words!

As far as I understand from the information on thestudenroom forum, the refusals are automated, and they seem to be sent at 2 am.

Weirdly enough my document upload button is no longer available and I didnt receive a refusal yet. Stuck in the limbo?

I guess tonight will be a moment of truth, but maybe everything is fine and tomorrow you and the other guys will receive a well-deserved offer!

Please, don't worry, this is one of the theories I read about on another forum. 

I have heard that offers are sent out manually during GMT admissions office hours, and rejections are sent out at night GMT. 

But then again, thestudentroom forum has applicants from all Oxford programs, so the order may be different.

I can’t help but worry, is this 2 am GMT?

Idk who told you guys that rejections are sent out at 2 am; it's not true, and I know a person who was rejected back in 2019 at 10 am. The rejections (and offers) are sent from the admins' uni email accounts; it's not a bot that sends them out even though the emails might seem generic. Moreover, certain rejections come with a PDF attached containing a letter from the course directors addressed to you personally (for the MSc in Taxation for example).

N.B. All offers come with a PDF attached.

In sum, have a good sleep and try not to worry too much :)

Thank you Miki, that is helpful clarification!

Thanks for the info! Do you have any idea how long it takes for them to hand out offers for say MFL? They started on Friday and looks like havent finished yet?

Tbh I have no idea, but I would expect more offers (or waiting lists)

I believe rejections last year were sent out at 2am GMT!

Maybe because that was in the middle of a lockdown and the law school had to work 100% from home. I don't think this will be the case this year.

@Applicant 2022/2023, have you actually received a rejection for the MLF or not? I can't tell from your messages

Thank you Miki, your reassurances let me sleep sound!

Still no news for me (mfl/button disappeared yday).

Any MPhil/DPhil with magic "upload" button disappeared?
