I have a 710 in Gmat, 6 months of Internship in Deloitte and 2.5 years of work experience also in Deloitte (still working) with exceptional performance ratings. Do you think I can try for Oxford this year? Any advise?

You have great profile, I’d say wait for another year and gain some more experience. You’d not want to leave any scope for them to blink. Ultimately, the decision is yours. All the best

Hello Anish331,

Hope this finds you well.

We would suggest that you garner some additional work experience and apply in Round 1 next year; if possible, please use this time to further improve your GMAT score and build your overall profile.

All the best!

Hi all. I'm applying in round 3. I have a question on English Language ability.
Im an Indian applicant and have a masters degree (2 years) taught entirely in English. Passed out in 2018. Do I still have to submit a Toefl score?

You just have to submit a letter (format for which will be mentioned in the application portal). There’s no need to submit an IELTs/ TOEFL score

I believe results of most of the scholarships will start coming after Jan. Only Said foundation scholarship results are expected to come by this week!

Keep your fingers crossed 🤞
