Notes
To the anxious posters below from English/History/Philosophy/MML, as someone who is very familiar with Oxford's admissions process, I can tell you that: a) The reasons acceptances and rejections 'trickle' is because those with no hope of a place/funding are immediately rejected, those that make it through the first cull are then roughly ranked in terms of strength of application with those at the top being considered first for funding. Different SUB-FACULTIES (i.e. French, German) within the same FACULTY (MML) send out answers at the different times. And, occasionally, more offers are made than there are places, which is why other applicants hear only when stronger applicants have already rejected a place. b) Mst, Mphil and Dphil applications have different application timelines, so it is pointless to glean any information on the progress of decisions for an Mst in Modern History, for example, from another poster who is posting about a Dphil acceptance. c) Funding in the humanities is allocated by DIVISION, which is why it can take an extremely long time to hear about. The decisions require a meeting of those across the FACULTIES to negotiate over their various pots of money and try to fund as many students as possible. It is even possible (although rare) that you will be told no funding is available and then, come August, receive a funding because a funded student has turned down their place. d) Lastly, some subjects send out offer letters separate of funding offers, other subjects send them out together. It depends on the department, but is nothing to fret about.
