Admitted Said MBA Students (2016 Intake) Class of 2017

hm, I don't remember. But I think that you certainly can talk to the admissions office and explain whatever (financial) situation you might be in. They are quite flexible and understanding. If they accepted you, they also want you to come and will certainly look for a solution. I don't think they will be splitting hairs about a couple of days of payment if you let them know in advance.

Hello All, anyone has an idea about scholarships as and when it will be awarded ? I have to apply for loans to fund my education .....So would like to take a look into the scholarship amount they are offering

Intranet says R1 scholarships will be out by 24th.

Congratz for getting into Oxford. You will recieve the admission pack by conventioanl mail. You will get 30 days to pay your deposite. In a worst scenario, if you are unable to arrange the amount within that period, you can politely ask the adcom to extend the deadline. Said adcom is very kind in this regard.

Ok cool. Waiting for the admissions pack should buy me some time hopefully. Thanks for the input!

Received the formal Offer Letter through email today.
The deadline for paying deposit is 20th November !!

Do any of you have any information on scholarships?

Same here, got an e-mail today. No info on scholarships other than that it will be announced by 24th October.

Edit: My bad, just noticed that like you I had mistaken last year's announcement for this year's scholarship decision date.

Good !! I thought I was the only one to have mistaken

Hey all,

I received the Oxford admit as well. Congrats to all you guys! I hope we end up meeting

My biggest concern is post MBA job opportunities in the UK for Indian students, considering that the visa will expire quite quickly.

I plan to write to the admissions team asking for stats, like how many students managed to land a job in UK/EU region via campus placement from Oxford. Additionally, I plan to talk to as many Indian Oxford graduates as possible - those who managed to get a job and those who didn't. Combined with stats, this will give us some perspective. I will get back to you guys with this info as soon as I know. Will post it here.

Let's crowd source as much as possible to make more informed decisions. Please share conversations or insight that you might have that can benefit us all. With a broad network, we can crowd source more relevant info.

Finance wise - I will be taking up Prodigy Financing to cover my tuition fees. Anyone else taking up the same?

Feel free to message me and exchange numbers, I'd love to have a conversation to discuss similar concerns. Sooner the better

P.S : There's a webinar on 28th October, 9:30 - 10 pm IST to address - how to confirm your Oxford place, colleges and accommodation. There's a registration link at the bottom of the mail sent by Alex Macknamara from Oxford.

Your link is just taking me to my mail client - Outlook. Anything specifically I have to do to join your group?

Hi
I'll need to add you there. Send me your mail id via a private message and I'll add you there.

Anyone travelling to Oxford for the MBA experience weekend (6th November)?

avinash that's a really great initiative! Would be really great to have that info. I have a small piece of information to add - 8 Indian students were offered positions at Amazon this year. Heard this from a current student, haven't verified from the adcom or career services!

Avinash, added you there at saidmba2017@googlegroups.com.
Poirot - I might be there on the 7th.

Nice initiative . Thanks !
I spoke to an Indian student recently graduated. He is yet to find a job. However he said nothing to worry as most would be placed in next three months.

Take a look at this blog for some detailed insights of a recently graduated student: https://goo.gl/uzehrH. He has taken the trouble to compile the kind of stats avi1589 is looking for.

I know a relative who graduated from SBS - will share what he has to say after I speak to him. Also going to write to a few people from SBS who I found via Linkedin. I think it would also be a good idea to reach out directly to target companies sooner rather than later.

Will update when I have new info.

This one is an interesting read too: https://goo.gl/jhKKMl.
