Just ask the Subject Access Request (SAR) team what those numbers and what "A2" means. I haven't made SARs with Oxford specifically but surely the SAR team should give you a sheet or something explaining all of the acronyms that they use.

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.

Are people also getting notification of being unsuccessful at a college at this point, or only offers? 

Hi Everyone,

Congratulations to all offer-holders, and condolences to all those not fortunate enough this time round.

As a rejectee myself, I'm just wondering about what this whole Subject Access Request provides, and what it entails.

Is it a way of seeing how our applications were scored/assessed? Thanks!

I got an offer from Balliol that I accepted last week. 

Q: Is anyone a Chevening Scholar here and is in trouble with the visa status?

Thanks!  

Has anyone gotten an offer or heard any news about Faculty-awarded scholarships for the BCL?

Anyone heard back from Magdalen by any chance?

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.

Any rejection email today? Or its radio silent for you guys as it is for me?

I hope the wait isn’t stressing you out too much… I totally understand how horrible oblivion can feel. Try not to think about it and focus on something else. It’s not worth worrying over.

 


Thank you for your kind words. I am trying not to stress myself out i hope you are keeping well in this wait as well 

This might be me being paranoid but we didn't have to do anything to accept our offers besides email the program contact, right?? In the offer letter it was like "according to the instructions below" but there were no instructions, just the contact, so I assumed...but want to make sure I don't inadvertently screw myself over haha. Thank you all!!!

Thank you so much! I didn't see a deposit in mine but that may be because I'll be in the DPhil program. But you're right I should just email her and put my mind at ease :) Thank you!

Hey there! My Certificate of Offer instructed me to send over copies of my transcripts, pay a deposit, and complete a criminal convictions declaration. I did all that and just emailed the program director to confirm that my offer has been accepted and my position is now secured. Maybe you should just email the program director to ensure you're good to go (and put yourself at ease)?

Has anyone had notice about the scholarships? 

Thank you! 

Has anyone heard anything from needs-based scholarships?

Quick question about waitlists - when do they close and would there be much movement from now to late July?

Am waiting for an update on the IHR MSc

Just received the MLF waitlist mail as well. Have they actually sent out any offers to waitlisted candidates recently, and receiving the mail means that we were lower on the list?

I received the same email and I think it’s just MLF’s protocol to keep a waiting list. The class size is small and I have never heard that anyone got off the MLF waiting list. So sad to say, but do not keep your hopes high.

I got an MLF offer from the waiting list, which I didn't take, so it went even further down the line. It is certainly possible to get an offer.
