I'm in

Congratulations everyone. I'm happy to report I've been accepted as well!

I am in. Sweet.

Hey, R1er here, hopefully I can help out...

I did not send my transcripts until I received my interview invite. When they emailed me to confirm my interview date/time, they included a reminder to send them my original university transcripts. They can conduct your interview and all that jazz with what you submitted with your application; however, they need a hard copy (original or certified copy) sent from your school before they can release your final decision.

Good luck everyone!

ah!
just received my invite!!

Hello MBA applicants! I'm an active alumna in the San Francisco Bay Area. Happy to answer questions or share stories if you're interested. Everyone says this but Oxford SBS is really a wonderful place to study. 2 years after graduation, I'm still close with my class. And they helped me to change careers and get a great job. It's a warm and vibrant and smart and ambitious community. Welcome!

Another interview invite here! I'm pretty far away from all of the locations, so, assuming they still have spots available, I'll be doing mine over Skype. Congrats everyone and good luck!

Here's the trick: wear for interviews something that guarantees that nobody will care what you wear.

Leftcoastguy, I did not apply last year. Sorry for the bit of confusion, when I mentioned my "previous interview" I was referring to an interview I had with another school a couple weeks ago (Cass, via phone). That interview seemed primarily focused on my CV, asking for more detail about a few bullet points, skills I have acquired in my professional life, etc.

Also, I think we're in similar positions regarding deposit deadlines. I have an offer from Cass with a deadline at the end of November. I've already decided that if I am accepted at Oxford I would attend there over Cass, but obviously I am not going risk being left with nothing if I'm ding'd by Said. Searching through the forums for people in similar situations, the general consensus seems to be you either pay the deposit at the school with the early deadline knowing you may have to forfeit it, and/or ask that school for a deadline extension. Asking for an early decision from Oxford seems to be a no-no and far riskier than asking the first school for a slight extension. The December 7th deadline seems to be the latest we will hear, though, they may send out decisions as the committee goes along. Congrats on Cambridge by the way!

jason12e, you should receive a decision email regardless, there are no "implied dings" (to invent a very silly phrase). I'm basing this on a video from one of their MBA Virtual Open Days where they go through the application process. I'm nearly certain the presenter said everyone who applies will receive a formal decision, whether it is an invite to interview or a ding (or an acceptance offer / ding for those that are interviewed).

I'm in too!!!!

Going to take this
