Am I the only one that still has hope? Last year, offers were spread across two days. Why can't it be this year?


I’ll wait till Monday before loosing hope :) at the same time I feel like even if I get an offer, I might accept a different one since I don’t very much enjoy how they’re handling it. I want to be in an environment that appreciates students and does not torture them :D


I'm glad to hear that you're not expecting the worst! I get what you mean. I did have that thought earlier, but I equally think we should distinguish between the admin of Oxford which may be quite inadequate and its academic standard which is globally exceptional!

I asked two professors that I had also asked the previous year and one new professor. 


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. 




Very much agree with this sentiment! I was rejected from both Oxford and Cambridge last year and have received offers for both BCL and LLM this year. In fact, the year away from academia had probably made me want to do the programmes even more and made me focus on exactly why I want to pursue further studies. Keep the faith! 
I'm on the same boat as BODesq apparently. I also was rejected from both last year and got both offers this year, so a turnaround is definitely possible! 

I also didn't believe my friends at the time that I'd have a fresh perspective if I just took a gap year. I did. My conclusion was different though — even though I would like to take up either offer, that wish is conditional now. Previously, I was headstrong in getting in, but now I think I've begun to appreciate other opportunities that I may take over these two offers. 

Regardless of your conclusions however, I do think a gap year does definitely change your perspective — be it a stronger affirmation or something else entirely different.

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?

Nope, the portal still shows as "ready for assessment". From what I read before the portal won't change even after a decision is made, all was communicated by email. 

By yesterday evening I was already preparing myself for this outcome so it wasn't as shocking as it could have been.

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.
