Graduate School Admission Results

Accepted for the part-time DPhil as I will be working during it.

Has anyone from the history faculty received any funding? ? ? ? Some $$ would be nice

To the Oxford CS PhD posts below, when did you submit your application and when was it complete for review (Required LOR's submitted)?

Not shortlisted for RDM Scholars Programme or WIMM Prize Studentship, may still be considered for non-funded places.

Interview invitation from program coordinator for second week of February.

currently at oxford for the classics MA, apparently funding is going to be decided in the next couple of weeks from what i have heard

Hey, for oxford dphil cs, did everyone who applied get an interview?

To the guy who posted his acceptance below, Congratz!! Can you please tell us how technical was the interview?

In response to poster below. Thank you! I expected a "standard" interview with questions on background, motivation, expectations of the program and perhaps a couple of technical questions. Not at all, went fully technical for 40 minutes. Was told to present myself, and then I had non-stop questions until we ran late for another interview. Topics included game theory, time series (some questions with an AR1 process), probabilities, stochastic processes, finance (interest rate, finance). No question was insanely hard individually, but the interview was challenging, as questions just follow each other, and are not straightforward either (they often involve some own reasoning, thinking by yourself and showing how you think facing a problem you may not be familiar with). Pressure during interview and my own (by far my top choice) make it hard; questions are not there to trick the candidate. To me, it is very important to stay calm and focused facing such pressure, keep a clear/fresh mind and guide the professors in your process of thinking. I personally had some questions wrong: no big deal, we just moved to different ones. Professors were keen to give hints when I appeared to be stuck. It seemed more about having a quantitative way of thinking than just being a theorem genius. NB: my notification was still unofficial, where I pursue the DPhil exactly and the funding matter are yet to be decided. Hopefully no trouble happens now. Hope this description was of use to you! Best wishes!

2.5 years or research. 2 publications. Summer research through MHIRT in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Participated in 2-year research training program called BUILD (Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity).

Not unexpected, but still gutted nonetheless.

Did anyone hear from DPIR about admission to their MPhil IR programme today - Mar 16? Looks like we would have to wait until next week.
