Hello to everyone! I received the Offer Certificate for the MPhil two hours ago. 

Any other BCL applicants still waiting to find out? I have not received any emails 

Thanks for the reply.  Wishing you much success!

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

Could your share your profile.

Congratulations!

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!

I did not make contact with a specific supervisor--I reached out to a faculty member being like "do you know of any faculty members whose interests would align with mine" but that was it (I was too shy haha). In terms of profile, I'm about to graduate from an American law school (one of the top 3, about top third of my class), interesting but not spectacular extra curriculars, one publication but not in an academic journal. I do think my proposal was a strong point of my application, so @Shahenshah's comment would make sense!

Has anyone received an email with the information for the criminal background check yet?

BCL Offer Holder here. My preferred college has rejected my application.

I guess now I will be randomly allocated a college. Quite sad tbh as I really wanted my preferred choice (thought it would have been a perfect fit due to my background); but appreciate it does not really matter for graduates +  I am just happy I got on the BCL! 

Has anyone else heard anything?

I just got an email that my preferred college has accepted my application. They've asked me to confirm that I accept the offer. 

If I accept it, will that mean I will no longer be considered for any of the scholarships that other colleges offer? My first priority is securing funding, so I'd be grateful if anyone could guide me on this.

Congratulations! What college did you get into?

My understanding is that you can still be transferred into another college if you get a scholarship that requires you to be in that college, but I would ask whoever your Oxford contact is for that. Best of luck with it!

Does anyone know roughly when the results for the Faculty-awarded BCL scholarships will come out?

I would be grateful for this as well.

Since you applied for the Mjur, I guess you are from a non-common law background. If that is the case, the Mjur might be better suited for you compared to the Cambridge LLM. Also, if you are considering the bar, I would say the Mjur is slightly better than the LLM (the Inns/Chambers love Oxford generally).

I would be grateful for this as well.

Hi both - just to let you know that I'm thinking about rejecting the MLF offer, so hopefully you'll have my place available. 

I'm divided between the Oxford MJur and the Cambridge LLM - if anyone is kind enough to exchange some views on this I'd be more than happy to have a chat.

Amen! Please which jurisdiction are you from?
