Hi everybody,
Has anyone who applied to Oxford in R1 received the second confirmation email? I mean, not the computer-generated that came just after the submission, but from the adcom - regarding the status of the application?
I've got nothing; and I'm starting to worry.

As a Round 1.0 Judge (submitted in Sept) applicant I am very worried by the zero communication since submission thing they have going on there in Cambridge. What the dilly?

Hi raabenb,
what do you mean - nothing since you submitted? Not even the confirmation? :shock: If so, they perhaps missed some piece of your app...
But if you are worrying about the interview decision, I think, some people might hear from them very close to the deadline. Btw, the principle on which they review the apps is not clear. It is not the order of submission, and not geographic principle, not by alphabet... so who knows. Anyways, it doesn't seem like a long wait now. But I understand your feelings - I was almost crazy from waiting a couple of days ago myself.

Hi everybody,
I got the confirmation email (i.e. 'application complete') from Oxford only today. Now when I'm thinking of Pathfinder's experience, I'm afraid such a delay could mean that I'm out of R1 :( But still, good luck to the rest of the applicants!

Also, has anybody else here received any news from Cambridge?

Apologies for the late reply, but I also received my confirmation email, on 10/29.

It does state which round you are being considered for as part of the confirmation -- at least, mine did:

Quote:
I am delighted to inform you that we have received your application and all supporting documentation for the Stage One deadline (24th October 2008). Your application is now complete and will be passed to the MBA Director and MBA Admissions Committee for consideration in due course.

Hello everyone,

Nov 7 is almost over. Have the R1 applicants here heard anything from Cambridge?

As for Oxford confirmation email:

Thanks , Teutonic! Alas, no such info in my case:

It took me some time, but I have found what I will talk about. Quite happy with the idea actually. 8-)

Working on Cambridge, deadline in 10 days. Good that the weather is so bad that I don't even want to get out of my home.

Interesting -- I would have thought they just have a template email to send out. Your email does sound similar to mine though, and they did mention Round One. So, it looks like you're good...

Just a few more days 'til the R1 interview announcements!

It looks like I had gone too far with my conspiracy theory - I've just received interview invitation from Judge :-D

Sorry to hear that dude. Maybe they have transfered me into R1.5 and this is the first invitation from R1.5, I don't know what's going on!? :roll:
Anyway, who cares. As I said before, the final outcome is much more important than the process. Let's hope that you will be off the WL and interviewed soon. Good luck.

Congrats on the interview invite, Pathfinder_77!

It sounds like both Oxbridge schools definitely place importance on visiting the campus. If I manage to get an interview invite from either school, it is going to be interesting to see how I will balance my existing travel for this. I may have to go to the Netherlands or China for the next few weeks, make it back to the United States to get a work visa stamped for Australia, then head out to Oz before mid-December. Then I'm supposed to go back to the United States for Christmas.... :beat

Sorry to hear about that, Raabenb... But good that it was not from the dream school that could break your heart. So good luck with the others!

So it seems that you are in R1-boat after all, Pathfinder :) Now I'm in the same situation as you - hoping to get my visa for Dec 1 interview date. I've PM-ed you some questions.

Got my invite just now for Oxford R1! Anyone else?

It looks like there are about 11-12 interview options, with a few by phone available -- does anyone know if the admissions committee still prefers in-person interviews, or are phone interviews treated mostly the same?
