it was from the school, not forte or laidlaw. It was not in my portal until ~ 2 hours after the offer status, in the "Status Update"

Would it make sense to consider applying for round 5 if one gets rejected in the interview in R4?
Or shall one target January 2026 batch in R1 in September.
Also, as far as I am aware scholarships of Sep 2025 are available only till R4 and not in R5.
Please suggest.

Hello, you can’t apply twice for the same intake. You will have to apply in R1 ’26 intake.

Hi guys, anybody hearing from or knowing when we will get results of "Saïd Business School Foundation Scholarships", "Oxford Saïd Future Leaders Scholarships", and "Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarships". I hope we will get results before deadline for deposit payment.

Could someone share the link to the portal on here kindly? I’m not sure if there’s anyone else here who has applied for the MBA 1+1 program, not just the MBA. I also got my offer for the MBA program on Friday (thankfully) and now waiting to hear back on the status of my partner program next week! However, whenever I go to graduate applications to check the portal, I’m only redirected to the partner program. I cannot seem to access the MBA part of the portal. Anyone care to share the link to the MBA portal here please? Thanks.

Aim for Jan 26' intake, where you’ll have access to the full range of scholarships, a better chance of admission, and sufficient time to refine your application for a stronger reattempt. Before reapplying you should have some good improvements in your profile, like a higher test score, a major promotion, or a compelling new achievement. Good luck!

We understand how difficult it is to face a rejection from a school. It’s a challenging moment, but it also presents an opportunity for self-reflection. Analyzing what went wrong and identifying areas for improvement can help you refine your application. Please feel free to take a look at this BLOG.

Hi JS26, it is advisable to contact the admissions office to inquire all the possible details about the scholarships and deposit deadlines for best financial planning. All the best!

Unfortunately not. I'm looking through other student forums to see if any new information comes up. I hope they share some updates soon.

Hey, what is the ratio percentage of people getting in for said mba with an work experience ?

Sorry

I mean

What is the ratio percentage of people getting in for said mba without an work experience ?

Even though it’s mention that if you do demonstrate why without an work experience, we might consider you or is this statement delusional ?
