Well, fellow Oxbridge aspirants –

One more day to go till Oxford Said R2 decisions!

I wish you all best of luck for tomorrow and hope that the first post in our thread will get even more green! :)

Btw, I have not very good news for those of you who dreamt about getting into Christ Church College. After I paid my deposit and asked which colleges still considered MBAs for admission, I was warned by the MBA Coordinator that they already filled their MBA quota (even though Intranet lists them as still ‘available’ at present). Not that I would like to go there, anyways, but I know that quite a lot of applicants usually put this college as their first preference… Of course, there is a possibility that some of those admitted to Christ Church will withdraw their apps, but I wouldn’t count on that.

Thx Greenoak! And good luck to everyone else waiting as well. Going to be very very long 24 hours. What time of the day did they send out the decisions last round? Was it first thing in the mornning Oxford time or later in the day? I remember the interview invite came in around 5pm Oxford time. Hope to see you there in the fall!

Hi Jobywan,
My admit came at 14.38 GMT. And it seemed that I was among the first; but still, all emails were probably released within an hour. There are speculations that the emails are dispatched in alphabetic order or in alphabetic order and by location. It will come from the person who sent you an interview invite.

Hope the R2ers hear some great news today!

My email came in at 14:50 pm GMT, and my last name starts with A. :) So the location/alphabetical order could be possible...

Ding also. A little unexpected, but not so painful since I already have two admits.

Fugo,Vbalex,

I am sorry to hear that.

Can you guys tell me what letter in the alphabet do your surnames start with? there was some speculation that Oxford does things alphabetically. I wonder how true is that.

My surname starts with a letter at the end of the alphabet and no email for me yet.
getting very nervous.

Thank you Buff, it was about time to hear some great news from you, I started to worry a little. I'm really happy for you!

Just don't tell me nothing about nervous :) Yesterday, my interviewer sent me mail informing me that I was accepted. Apparently, interviewers have early access to deceisons, definitely earlier than candidates. And the call from adcom came much later, we are talking about 5-6 hours here. Can you imagine that hell?! Word "nervous" got the entirely new meaning for me in that 6 hours.

I totally understand what have you been passing through yesterday. Now it is over and you can't feel nothing but relief and sweet taste of victory. Enjoy it, you've deserved it! :war
