Oxford (Said) 2013 - Calling All Applicants

No I haven't heard back on the date/time either

guess it may take a little while for her to collate

I've got the i/view confirmation now - 5th April during the Open Day. Anyone got the same date? I'll probably see u there..

You're lucky... I haven't heard anything yet.

Does anyone know when Oxford usually updates its employment statistics?

How many days does Oxford give to accept the offer ( is it 4 weeks)- Im a R3 applicant -

and is an extension possible ? I think for R3 the decisions will be out on 19th April - so how many days does Oxford give to accept the offer ?

I will also be there on April 5th. Do you know if we're automatically registered for the MBA Open Day? Or should we register on the website if we want to attend?

You need to register on the w/site for the Open day. I'll see u there

Hi.. it'll be great if anyone can share their interview experiences so far for folks like us who are still waiting.

Shawy, did u apply in R3?

My i/view lasted ~40mins and was on a friendly tone. Some questions as follow:

1. Please walk thru your resume
2. Random question which i thought was quite difficult - have you encountered a situation whereby you had to step in and make a decision although the issue was under the jurisdiction of your superior. What was the situation, how you handled it and what was the outcome?
3. What unique traits would you bring to the class?
4. Jobs plans after MBA - tell me about Option A and Option B
5. Tell me about a work situation that you could have handled better but you didint
6. Have you applied anywhere else and why Oxford?
7. Does your employer know that you would be leaving and what was their reaction?
8. Any question for the i/viewer

She scribbled a whole heap so i think i might have said something sensible after all

All the best for your i/view

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?
