Rejected despite being a finalist on track for a 1st in History and Politics at Oxford Uni. Main weakness is my lack any relevant internships in the field.

Waitlisted for Political Science PhD program. If you were admitted and do not plan on attending, please kindly consider letting the admission's office know.

2:21 am: 'On behalf of the academic department, I am writing in connection with your application for admission to the Master of Science in Political Theory Research. The department has now carefully considered your application and supporting materials, but we are sorry to have to tell you that your application has not been successful. Application to Oxford is extremely competitive, and we are not able to offer places to all the excellent candidates who apply. Due to the high volume of applications Oxford receives, in line with University policy, we are unable to provide feedback on our reasons for rejecting or selecting candidates. If you have also applied for scholarships as listed on the application form, those applications will not be considered any further. Thank you for having considered Oxford as a place to undertake graduate work. We wish you every success with your plans for your future studies. Yours sincerely'

Interviewed today (3/23). Comparative Politics Track. 5 members of the committee. Too nervous to talk. (TB who received the offer: Congs! What's your track?)

I applied in December 2020, and submitted revised SOI, Academic CV before the Jan. 15th deadline.

Congrats to those who got in.

I have asked the committee, and they said they are still waiting for 7 admitted students to reply. For those who got an offer, please decline if you have a better option. USC is my top choice. Thank you very much!

[NOT WL] TPB: What track did you get your acceptance from?

Informal notification of acceptance

I will probably be rejecting the offer

Got the email a few days after asking the department about the status of my application. Very exciting news!

Informal notice of offer from department on 11 March. GAO confirmation of offer 17 March.

I was not initially accepted and was put on the wait list in February. But this week I was contacted by the department to say that I was the first person they were able to contact from the waiting list and they could offer me a place.

Advanced Masters.

Anyone heard anything back? We are supposed to be notified by the March 18th
