Hello everyone,

MJur applicant here and I just officially received my rejection. By this point I'm just relieved the anxiety is over and I didn't have to wait until Monday for the results.

My button had disappeared on Tuesday, which means the magic button theory is complete bogus this year (or maybe it meant obvious rejections were processed first). Hopefully it won't bring so much anxiety for the next few years. 

Congratulations for all of those who got offers! I'll be wishing you well from LSE ;)

I am so sorry to hear that. Can I ask what time you received it?

Honestly this is really messed up. 

I am so sorry to ask. But does it show on the e-vision portal?

Hi all!

BCL applicant here. Got my official rejection email at 15:08 UK time, button disappeared Tuesday afternoon.

Good luck to everyone:)))

Does this mean that all the offers have come out?

Who else is waiting to hear back? 

I also just received a rejection. Not very nice on a Saturday :) but to everyone who received an offer: I wish you the best time there. Who got a rejection: there are other things in store for us!!

Those with rejections - did you have early buttons or purely random?

Hello, MJur applicant with an early button. I got my rejection at 15:08 UK time. Again, congratulations to the successful applicants and a lovely weekend everybody! :)

Is it just me who has not heard anything or got any mail either?

I was fully expecting my offer refusal when I saw others responding that they had received theirs. Perhaps mine has been delayed by the server 

as I live in the States?  Perhaps there will be another batch later? Yes, very confusing.

Congratulations! Did you ask the same references as last year or new ones? I want to reapply either next year or in two years and I feel like I had the best references possible and don’t know who else I could have asked.

Don't be so mad, my friend.  What evidence makes you that angry?

Someone else from the same background who CLEARLY has a MUCH weaker academic record getting an offer. 

It’s like someone from Yale Law being rejected in favor of someone who went to George Washington Uni Law. Plus lots of other things. That’s just for starters.

I agree that the process involves some luck (all the candidates that apply are very good and it is normal that even very very good candidates are rejected.) However, the app process is fairly comprehensive and, for example, a lot of weight is given to the piece of academic writing, to the references etc. In relation to Oxford, I would therefore say that looking at the grades (or the uni) alone is never a good indicator of someone getting in or not (as long as the applicant meets the minimum criteria).
