there are lots of factors at play here. for one, the international student body definitely contributes to a lower employment rate. another factor is the entrepreneurial nature of the oxford mba program. lots of students here end up opening their own businesses and what not, hence lots of them are still unemployed 3 months after graduation.

Interview? it is very funny!
No any question about my career exp/goal/why Judge

The interviewer found two tiny item from my resume and asked them for ten minutes and then pushed me to finish the interview because he had other plans......

so the whole process took about 20 minutes.

I spoke to someone at Hult IBS, which is a 100% international business school with around 90 nationalities each year. They said that their employment rate (now and before the meltdown) after 3 months has always been a little lower statistically because international students need time to move around or back home and to find a job. If you look at their employment levels after 6 months they're up to good numbers. Perhaps this could be the case also with Oxford? More foreign students compared to Cranfield, who need time to relocate and begin with their work?

Congratulations to those who have secured a place. Though without any scholarship it must be difficult.

For the %age who had secured jobs, Cambridge is 89% and LBS is 81%. So DrSatisfactions point on entrepreneurial nature of the school must be a contributor to the low stats (at least I hope it is),

Another point is that Oxford could provide data for only 63% of their students which may make the results skewed.
Cambridge provided data for 93% and LBS 99% of their students. I guess after the rigorous program, the alumni at Oxford might not be interested in school promotional activities (even blogs etc. can be seen much more for LBS)?... I hope advertising apart, the alumni do form a tight group amongst themselves?
Any current student's comment would be highly appreciated.

Well, congratulations anyway! Judging by this and a couple of other boards, Cambridge seems to be a terribly tough place to get admitted by. You did good. :-D

i believe there are a few more JBS 2010 admits among GC members, besides Salisaaa, brass20y and dan4o... but they did not participate in this forum...

probably they are still deciding over other admits...

i guess for diverse schools like JBS, admits are pretty much like a lottery... such schools just cannot take in too many bright/talented people from the same background...

^especially if the class is small in size. If I remember correctly, Saïd's intake is larger.

Received a Judge R3 invite yesterday. They've given a choice between 1st, 8th and 12th March. Gives a little time to prepare.

Also received an interview invite. Submitted the day before the deadline.

I know this question has probably been asked a million times, but how selective is an interview invitation? How likely is it to lead to an admit (statistically speaking)?

Me too received an interview invite! Finally off the waitlist! Woohoo! :-D Unfortunately I will be attending a conference in US during those days, so I suggested to visit the campus another time in February.

From what I understood the chances for admission after interview are very good indeed.

Thanks :) I was just revising my waitlist strategy, since I thought I wasn't going to get an invite this time either. Have you already received news?
