Just a solid 2 weeks after April 15th, they sent me an email that a decision had been made. Checked the portal and...the dreaded one sentence rejection. Undergrad GPA: 3.6, Grad GPA: 4.0.

Appled 4/16. Final recommendation went through on 4/21. Accepted on 4/23.

Applied 2/24, accepted 4/23 with Dean's Distinguished Leadership Award (10k/year). experience: 2 years employment in social work, 8 month clinical sw internship, a few research assistant positions, volunteer at hotline service.

Domestic student, admitted to the in-person FT 2 year (non-BSW) program.

Waitlisted on 3/7, told me I would hear back “no later than 4/15,” got the offer letter today!

I submitted super late tbh

Took longer than the 4-8 weeks they said it would take to hear back with an admissions decision so I was surprised I was accepted. I applied by the regular deadline (not priority) on February 7th and heard back April 8th.

I never thought I would get an offer from Oxford, especially after how much I screwed up in my undergrad. But I put all my soul in correcting it- got good grades in my next degree- MPP and worked in evaluation research for 2 years. For the ones out there thinking they are not good enough, dream big and try. Trying never hurts.
