Oxford (Said) 2013 - Calling All Applicants

Thanks paulpkn. That was very helpful. Looks like you had a very good time. Yes I applied in R3

Hi Lucky,

You have a little over 4 weeks to accept / pay your deposit. Extensions are possible, but you need to email the admissions team and outline your reasons for requesting.

Good luck!

So, I was just interviewed yesterday over Skype. The tone was generally friendly, although the interviewer kept strictly within the parameters of the interview outline. The first fifteen minutes were spent generally discussing about how I was going to finance my education, my goals, choice of Saïd, how the MBA would help me in achieving my goals, and any specific courses I was looking forward to at the school. The next 12-13 minutes were spent with a few behavioral questions about leadership that I struggled with. At the end there was some time for questions from my end, before she told me that the committee would look at my entire application once more, including the feedback from the interviewer before releasing the official result on late Friday evening.

All in all, it was an O.K. interview, and I'm still on the edge of my seat regarding the final decision. Could go either way!

I am doing PGDM course from iFEEL.edu.in
Is it equivalent to MBA??

Best of Luck. When did you applied?

I applied right before the R3 deadline. You also applied to Saïd?

A bit random, but how would you guys compare McCombs vs Said? Were any of you looking at both?

Not yet. Can anyone tell till now how many people have accepted for Said MBA? Any how many seats are still available?

I am in! Requested an early decision as I have to respond to the offer from Mccombs.

I think that they are peer schools. Depends on your location preference. Mccombs will give you a chance to do an internship and possible make it easier to change careers. Said's career center is not as good as Mccombs based on my research.

Congrats buddy! The wait is killing me!

Are you going to accept Saïd?

They don't really announce between stages how many applicants have been accepted. But now it's going to be on open field basis, so there can't be many spots remaining, but as they say - you only need one Good luck with the application!

I am leaning heavily towards accepting.

So you should. I get the result tomorrow. Can't wait!

what made you choose said over mccombs?

1) One year vs Two Years. Better ROI. Given that I would like to return to India a few years after the MBA, this is a big deal.

2) I am 31 years old and feel that I am better suited to the one year program in Europe with a class having a higher average age.

3) I can fund Said with my savings but will have to take out a loan for Mccombs.

4) This is unlikely to be an issue for anyone else, but after exhausting my work visa in USA, it would be difficult for me to get a work visa in the US after graduation.

Anyone heard from them?
