Calling all Oxford SBS MBA Applicants: 2021 Intake (Class of 2022)

Guys, I wrote about 200 but couldn’t finish my last word. Ie the last sentence was incomplete by a word. hopefully they won’t hold that against me. I think the message was clear. Tough to do 250 in 5 mins.

You guys gotta relax. I don't think I hit 250 words but got an acceptance! Really tough doing 250 words in 5 minutes. That's almost 1 word per second, without the time to structure the entire thing out first.

Interview invites for Stage 2 to be released on November 13 and Final decisions will be released on December 11 according to the oxford's website.

Hi did anyone receive any communication. yet for R2?

Posted from my mobile device

**** nothing here. Now I’m worried another ding.

Got an invite for interview as well.

The following is the summary from Oxford Said chatroom on Nov 13th

Sprockets
Today is the day

GMATworm100
Go get it everyone!!!

fatehsmann
It’s 9 am UK time now. I hope they don’t make us wait for the entire day!

goforit2020
In round 1m they released the result at about 2-3 PM UK time

troubletrouble
Got interview invite just now

Sprockets
Nothing here yet. Hope not rejected

troubletrouble
Don’t lose hope, it might be going out in phases!

Sprockets
Unlikely man. It was the same with Cambridge. Sigh

troubletrouble
Are you by any chance on Reddit too

Sprockets
nope

troubletrouble
Someone commented smth very similar there. You’ve got up remember that they are two different schools, and not give up hope. I don’t think lack of message at this point means anything, I have my fingers crossed for you!

Sprockets
thanks! but its just the same as before. I mean doubt its phases of invites. They most likely pick everyone they want to invite and send them together. I am not holding my breath

troubletrouble
I actually remember reading about someone who got dinged by Cambridge but got into LBS

Sprockets
especially since someone from india they got an invite

troubletrouble
Well I hope you are pleasantly surprised anyway!

Sprockets
I appreciate your optimism

goforit2020
yeah

goforit2020
last time, I was in the Camrbridge Batch 2 on Monday

goforit2020
this means that, they are sending invitation according to batches

goforit2020
I hope that you will get invited, Sprocket.

troubletrouble
See! Thank you for such a helpful insight, goforit2020!

goforit2020
my GMAT was 700, lower than yours, Sprocket. So, please be optimist. You can do it!

Sprockets
I honestly thought a 710 would get me an interview invite with some place especially as a veteran candidate. Rejected from fuqua, rotman, judge outright without interview

troubletrouble
How were your essays?

Sprockets
I am assuming decent atleast. I worked with a consultant. I thought essays for fuqua and rotman were really strong.

Sprockets
I had a current student recommendation at Rotman. Two current student endorsements at fuqua.

troubletrouble
Once you hear from Ox, are you waiting on anything else?

Sprockets
I am but they are all in leagues above said so I dont know what it means for them

kj28191
Do they send out emails to only the candidates invited for interview or to everyone

shameekv1989
Sprockets, How many years of experience do you have if you don’t mind me asking

Sprockets
6.5 years

GMATworm100
Rooting for you Sprocket! I got my Said invite an hour after they started pouring in, in R1

Sprockets
GMATworm100, thank you - really hoping for the best here. This **** is soul crushing.

troubletrouble
Everyone


fatehsmann

fatehsmann

fatehsmann

Sprockets
Still says submitted on portal

Sprockets
Rejected

Sprockets

GMATworm100
That sucks, but goodluck with the rest of your schools. Applications season is tough, but you just need one of your target programs to say yes!
