Good luck everyone! Does anyone know if the number of admitted students in 2018 will be higher than 2017?

Given the FT rankings, I assume the demand will increase as well.

What are the main differences between Oxford Said and Cambridge Judge?

https://www.orieladmissions.com/single- ... idge-Judge

I find it difficult to interpret if 150 words limit is for whole question or for only international exposure section?
(Judge application Primary responsibilities question)
Describe your primary job responsibilities;
1. type and size of internal and external teams with which you work or supervise
2. type and number of clients or projects you manage;
3. size of budget or revenue for which you are responsible;
4. international experience or exposure (150 word limit)

I have IELTS General Score of band 8. Do I need to give IELTS academic to apply to judge?

I appreciate guidance you can provide.

Has anyone received interview invite for R1?

I haven't but the decision tracker shows that one person has been interviewed.

Email to find out. I think it is very likely that you will have to take your IELTS academic. Judge is very strict about the English language requirements. I had to take my IELTS too, even though I lived and worked in the UK for over 8 years.

Hi everyone--do you know if the acceptance rate in Round 3 is significantly lower than Round 2? Anyone have any insight they can share?

Posted from my mobile device

Safer to assume that that is the case. Haven't specifically asked but I know Oxford had 6 rounds last year but didn't accept anyone in the final two rounds. Best to get your application in for R2.

I assume the person interviewed submitted his/her application before 14th July and therefore qualified for an early interview which was done in Asia. I am not sure how many has been invited to an interview after they submitted their application in Round 1 other than those interviewed early, this thread has been quite silent. I know I have not been and if I login to the application portal, it says Under Review. Not sure what to make out of it, but, according to their website, a decision should be sent within three weeks of the relevant deadline, so I hope to know a decision by next Friday (29th September), whatever it is.

Great to hear that you have completed your application. Did you get an invitation to interview?

Hi Guys! any update on the interview invites ?

Not yet. I'm anxiously checking my email every 10 minutes...

Do you guys mind sharing when did you submit the application? I sent an email to the admissions team yesterday and they replied that they will get back to us 3 weeks approximately after the submission of application. I submitted on September 2 and have not received any information as of now, despite it being already more than 3 weeks from then. However, if I take application deadline for consideration, it's still not 3 weeks, but will be on September 29 (This Friday).

I submitted my application on 7th September
