Hello all, haven't heard any thoughts on the career prospects at SBS. Has anyone done some research on this before deciding to pay the deposit? appreciate any comments. thanks,

The date for interview calls April 30, isn't it? I have not even submitted my app as the last date is April 9

Hello all, I have another question: what are the internship options at Oxford? I read about the SCP, but is the project offered by Consulting firms with an opportunity for a pre-placement offer? Or is it just a consulting project, but at different companies?

Hi guys,

I've received a few private messages regarding Oxford essay number II. Take a look here on last year's discussion and especially greenoak's comment:

Also, here is a tongue-in-cheek list of Oxford colleges and the stereotypical students:

Thanks Annae! I really liked the posts about the visit to "OxfordandCambridgeclub" and the last post: the plans for Oxbridge GC members meeting. Hope we will continue the tradition!

By design, it’s just a consulting project which could be performed at a range of companies – recruitment is not the primary purpose. I’ve heard anecdotal evidence about the potential for relationships built on the SCP to lead to job offers, but I suspect this doesn’t happen often. If you wanted a standard internship with a consulting firm, this would be in place of the SCP.

Same here. Haven't submitted. So, are niraja, alpha and myself the only R3 applicants on this forum? I am scared that we might be facing an uphill battle.

Students can opt for an internship in the summer term in place of the SCP.

Regarding placement stats, here's a quotation from the Times:

The article also states a 32% increase on GMAT test takers the past 5 years and can be read here: http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/management/mba/article7081440.ece

Hi everyone, I've been lurking in this thread but haven't posted. I am also attending Oxford this fall. I'm located in the west coast of U.S. and still haven't received my package. Thank goodness I started everything online. Which college is everyone applying to? I applied to Magdalen.

Still awaiting a message from JBS regarding my reservation fee. Bank transfer and it's been 6 working days which should be the max time required... argh. Hope it will clear through soon.

I took a look at the Cambridge offer Facebook site and it's mighty interesting to read about people's backgrounds: a pilot in training, people from both Indian and L.A. film industry, a near-East peace negotiator, people from my kind of background (pharma/bio-tech), and most visibly, it seems like everybody's either lived abroad in the past or is currently an expat somewhere on the globe.

I'm located in the southwest and I received my package yesterday. So, I'm guessing you'll be getting yours soon too. They were posted on March 22nd (according to the admissions office). I haven't yet paid my deposit - will do that soon. My first choice will be Green-Templeton.

Be prepared to part with almost $8000. ug, the exchange rate is painful. Glad to hear packages are slowly making their way here. Did I miss something or does Oxford not have an admit weekend?

I have a friend who applied in R3 last year and he felt like there was plenty of space. In fact, in his opinion, the third round is not necessarily a difficult round to get admitted b/c additional space opens up due to ppl not accepting the R1 or R2 offer. Granted, he was also an olympic rower AND rowed for Oxford during his time there. But there is hope!

I'm actually feeling good about the exchange rate - it wasn't too long ago that 5,000 GBP was $10,000.

Yesterday I confirmed via email that I'll be part of the SBS class (and told my grandma... so it's official )! Everything else after I get the acceptance package.
