No word on funding, CS theory.

Not plan to go. Oxford was one of the best University 20 century. But it become a business University without any funding anymore. Plan to go Imperial which shows more potentials to become the best University in UK and world.

Declined. Wait so long, it was just cheap AD (no funding). Not real offer (with funding). Oxford is my fourth choice. I will go UCLA.

Supervisor was nice but no funding will be a big problem. I don't wanna self funding. They told me will help me to find any fundings. Just like kidding you know. Declined.

Wasn't going to go anyway. This 2-day offer thing seems ridiculous. Will be going to America.

I rejected them last year and they reject me this year. Revenge served cold LOL. Anyway no hard feelings, good luck to you all!

It was not possible that get offer without any interviews because most offers provides from waiting list which only consider interviewed applicants. But as you know, no funding is provided in this program. Thus, even Oxford provides offers. It is not worth to pay salary to your boss! This world is crazy. You work for your boss and you pay for your boss. Then, they give you a piece of paper. Stupid UK PhD.

Interviewed for Automated Verification group early Feb. still waiting for the result.

Has any AI/ML applicants get an offer yet?

I am the one who got rejected over the weekend. I chose Yale because it is a better Ivy overall (not by subject). I heard it is really easy to get into Columbia. It is a cash cow for them. The majority of the student body is international students from China. I am not looking to learn something from grad school since I already have 4 years of software engineering experience. I just want to add some prestige to my resume, which Yale provides better than Columbia IMO. If I were admitted by Oxford it would be a tough decision between Yale and Oxford, but Oxford made the decision for me lol.

TTPB: I guess this is a stupid question. I assume that if I don't receive any interview invitation at this point, it means I will be rejected (or ghosted). But knowing that tons of people are declining Oxford, should I hope a little bit more?

I see why so many of you go to USA. Much better CS research and salary in USA than UK. From 2016 to 2021 CS top papers, Edinburgh ranking 33th, Oxford ranking 46th, Imperial College London and UCL ranking 54th, Cambridge ranking 75th. Good luck guys, I will go University of Washington.

Like most of you, POI provides no fundings, and tells me hes gonna to find any available for me but I also need to search other sources. Is it a common way to ask students to prepare self funding? I will go US anyway.

Person who got rejected from Oxford, why are you choosing Yale? What's so great about their program over a place like Columbia, e.g.?

They send out rejections over weekends now? Guess I am going to Yale.

2 non-FAANG internships, 1 first-author paper. I'm very excited by the decision!
