It was my only choice. Right now I am finishing my master in economics in Paris. I am so happy!

Super excited!!

Got an email from admissions telling me that I will be read during the group of Jan 20th admissions and asking me to take a survey.

reasonable result, but still feel sad.

Thank you for submitting an application to the National Institutes of Health Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program. This year we received a great number of highly qualified applications. Your application, although noteworthy, was not selected for an interview. We encourage you to continue to strive towards your academic goals.

Neither a yes nor a no. Put forward for reevaluation in March.

Called to check status, application has been delayed/postponed to be considered with the influx of applications at the January deadline.

Accepted during interview

"Unfortunately, we are not able to make you an offer of a place at this stage. We will however re-evaluate your application against other candidates who apply through the next available application deadline on 20 January 2012. I am sorry that this will mean a delay in our decision, but competition for places on this programme of study is intense."
