Perhaps I am being too hopeful, but I am convinced that more offers will come out as well as rejections!

I really want to believe this. Fingers crossed! 

I reckon if it gets to 3.45pm and no one's received an email then the rest of the decisions will be communicated tomorrow

I doubt that there would be anyone working in the office today as it is a Sunday

Can someone try and call the office just to confirm if they would release any decision today? Please

That might be the case

Hi,


British unis tend not to take work experience/extra-curriculars into account for assessment purposes (except maybe LSE), so working at EY is not going to increase (or lower) your chances of getting in next time. EY is generally a good company to work for, but for application purposes it will not have any meaningful impact on your application.

So this question might be a bit out of place for this thread but I don’t know anyone with any experience in this and am hoping someone might know here. Is Ernst & Young a good company for experience and will working here benefit me in any way for any future second chance applications? I am sorry if this is not an appropriate question for this place

Just got rejected from the BCL

Just got rejected for the Bcl

Same! Perhaps we failed better. Better luck next time.

Just got rejected for the MJur.
Anyway, I don't have to suffer from anxiety anymore. lol
For those friends who got offers, wish you a happy and rich school life in Oxford!
And now I plan to go to LSE to further my education. May we all have a bright future.

Just received rejection from BCL

That's true, work experience can surely help you to write a better personal statement etc. but it will not make up for grades/written work etc.

Oh thank you. I was under the impression that if you apply after some years from your graduation they do take work experience into consideration to basically understand your interests and general fit in the course. Additionally it helps justify your interest in the SoP.

Thank you, I understand that. Of course my marks can’t change anymore but I will by the time I apply again definitely improve further in my written work. This time too my written work was one that was published by Bennett but I hope to improve. Thank you so much for answering my queries I appreciate it!

I must say that the thing that most disappoints me about this process is the fact that, after extending offers to the “chosen ones,” Admissions sent out a few rejections and then has let the rest of us “dangle.”  As an attorney here in the United States who has been a trial lawyer for over fifteen years, and a member of three Bars, including California (which, with New York and Florida are the three hardest bars to pass in the US) my dignity has been offended.  And, yes, Phi Beta Kappa at Yale.  I wanted to take the BCL in order to make a transition to being a barrister in the UK.  I rather feel that I’ve earned my stripes and it bugs me that I am being “dissed.”  Not a way to treat people, imo.

Hello all! My heart so goes out to all who have have a difficult go (this time--I was a multiple-time applicant in American law schools, still didn't get my top choice, and I in retrospect wouldn't change a single thing!). I'm curious if anyone has thoughts on this spread-- I was accepted to the DPhil program (law) and rejected from the MPhil and BCL. I was somewhat surprised, as I would have thought the DPhil would be harder. Has anyone have an experience like this/any insights? I am of course not complaining, I'm incredibly grateful, but I'm wondering if I must have been like the lowest accepted candidate for the DPhil given my other results. Thank you my friends for indulging my crippling anxiety!

Has anyone heard from the MSc in Crim and Criminal Justice?

Did you make contact with your supervisor for the DPhil prior to applying? 

Could your share your profile.

Congratulations!
