Any update on the MLF front?

I called them earlier, they said the person responsible was in an open day event or something like that, and that I should wait until Thursday before calling back

 



Woah that is just painful!? I didn't know i'll have to wait so much even for a rejection

just received my rejection email so they are sending them today

Is it just me or have they updated the BCL Faculty prospectus to reveal that 140 places are available in 2023-2024?

Received my rejection email for MLF too. So the wait is over. :'(

All the best to others waiting.

This waiting is torture!

If (as is likely) mine is a rejection then I plan on submitting a subject access request to the uni, which requires them to release all info they have on you. Probably unlikely but if anyone at Oxford marked your written work and put the mark on the PDF file then I'm thinking you should get this back? I'm sure you can get a copy of your references too so you can see what your referees thought and how competitive your application really was.

Thought this might be useful info for anyone who gets a rejection but wants to reapply in the future. Probably the last thing you want to think about right now, but something to bear in mind

How can we do this?

There's no formal way you need to submit a DSAR - I would say send them an email with "Data Subject Access Request" in the title and note the timelines etc in your email.  As far as I recall they need to acknowledge your request within 72 hours and then provide you with the information within 1 month.

I have colleagues who work on DSARs regularly and I will say that these tend to create a lot of extra administrative work for the organisations that receive them.  That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it - absolutely go ahead, I would be doing the same if I got rejected and intended to apply next year.  That being said, it might be appreciated if people who want to submit DSARs could wait a couple of weeks so that the rest of us aren't delayed in finding out about offers/rejections 

Hi everyone! Are there any applicants for the MSt in international human rights law on here? I haven't seen many of us. No movement in my application so far.

That's good to hear! 

I got accepted into MLF last year, but unfortunately couldn't accept the offer. This year I got waitlisted for MLF. As they apparently coordinate the admissions into different postgraduate programmes, the MLF offer came together with a rejection letter for MJur last year. I'm not sure how the waitlist decision for MLF this year impacts my chances of receiving an offer for MJur. 

As for the priorities of admission committes, I've heard that MJur (and perhaps BCL as well?) is more receptive to applicants focused on human rights, public international law, jurisprudence (and other such dignified areas of interest) and less to more commercially oriented applicants - though of course it does not disqualify you immediately - therefore I don't think my chances of getting an offer are high.

I don't want to get my hopes up. Glad it will be clear by the end of the week. 

Incase anyone is losing hope, I was waitlisted for the MLF and got accepted onto the BCL a few years back. My friend was rejected for the Cambridge LLM but also got onto the BCL.

Each course is assessed by different people and prioritises different things. 

As a side note: anyone applied for the DPhil? Any disappearing buttons yet?
