Thanks for letting us know!

I would be grateful for this as well.

Hey guys,


Could anyone rejecting MLF offer kindly post here.






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.

Yes, I’ve been accepted to Magdalen.


Congrats!  Did you hear back recently?

Based on what I can tell from here there doesn't seem to be much of a pattern to when colleges decide but would be good to have the information.

There is no timeline really, because all apps are assessed on an individual basis (also depending on the college) or it's hard to tell when you'll hear back (hopefully soon).

No point in worrying now given we have already jumped through the most difficult hoop to get into Oxford but what criteria are colleges looking for when they review our applications? Do each college have a set of different criteria?

Yeah basically. The criteria are not set out anywhere, but for example, colleges look at whether the candidate will "fit" with the people who are already there. Also, colleges cannot take too many law students into their MCRs, because that would destroy their purpose really, etc. So the criteria are really obscure and there is no way to predict the outcome.

Those who are rejected are likely to end up at less popular colleges, such as Wadham, St Catz etc. So, for example, if you are rejected by Magdalen there is no chance for you to end up at Christ Church. Also, at the college there must be a tutor able to teach on the course that you are studying, if there are none (unlikely for law, but possible), then the college won't accept you. Same happens when that person reaches her capacity for supervision.

I got a message saying I was under consideration for a college scholarship and would I be ok with moving colleges if I get it - has anyone gotten this kind of message, but then subsequently been rejected for the scholarship? Just trying to gauge my chances.

I got an email saying I was under consideration for a college scholarship on the 30th March. I replied to them confirming that I would be willing to move colleges for the scholarship. I received an offer for the scholarship yesterday (11th April).

Guys, 
Does anyone have any information on how Oxford 
1. Grades referees? 
2. Grades overall application?

There is no ranking for references; they are all considered equally.

Why I ask is because after receiving back my Subject Access Request, it is mentioned that my overall application grade was an "A2", which I have no clue what it means

My referees were ranked as 5/10/10. Again, no clue what it means either.
