Hi everyone,

Have you received the school email to access the intranet yet ?

I encounter some problems to access the network following their instructions. The authentication window keep appearing again and again and I cannot move forward to the next step.

Did anyone see the same problem ? It's quite weird actually.

What browser you used ? I used both Firefox and Chrome, even Safari. No help !

Or maybe it's my home network.

The school is so cruel, they do not allow us to pay tuition fee in installments ... haizzz ... big buck this round.

I wonder whether they allow to defer the place to next academic year so that I can save more ... haha

Hey All,

Good luck with your year in Oxford, I am sure it will be an intense and exciting period. I have chosen to go to Cambridge....and I hope it will be equally exciting too.

Hi Shamanth,

Gd luck then. Cam is very diff to get into interview actually. I missed the chance to apply to Cam this round. What a pity !.

Did you try to negotiate with them about the tuition fee. I got a friend got accepted too, but in R2. He managed to get 5k GBP from the school : ).

Should try to do it.

Gd luck then.

Thank you. Oxford is just as good. Yes Cambridge also offered me a £5k bursary which is nice.

Hey guys...

Congrats again to all.

I ended up changing my mind :) I've decided to go to IESE. The reason is mainly because I'm interested in going to work and live in LatAm/Brazil (I'm not Latin American) and IESE's network would increase my chances of getting there.

Good luck to all. this gonna be intense! Let's enjoy it.

Cheers

Did you try to get a loan from Prodigy Finance? (unless your goal is to limit the indebtedness)

Yes, I applied for the loan of 25k GBP at first. The interest is quite high comparing to other loan that I can get. But the good thing is no need guarantor/joint-applicant. (quite diff and uncomfortable to ask a friend for the guarantor of 15k - 20k GBP :D).

Of course, I try to limit the indebtedness. Actually, not quite sure about the economic landscape in the next 1 year. Quite scary !!!

Hey guys,

I am currently waiting to start my MBA at Cambridge Judge in September. I do hope coming to the Oxford page does not get me banned from Cambridge :-D

Anyways I just wanted to know if there is any one here from Bangalore, India with an admit to Oxford this year? The Oxbridge Bangalore community is hosting a get together this saturday ( 11th August 2012 ). If there is any person going to oxford this year from Bangalore, please contact me.

Cheers.

I wonder how you guys justify the cost of attendance at Oxford/Cambridge if you are not allowed to work in the UK post-MBA. Anyone?

Are you sure? My understanding is you are allowed to work in the UK afterwards following a UK degree.

Hi everyone, I basically just read the whole thread.

Is there anyone who got into the MFE program? Planning to apply during round 1 for fall 2013 - registered to take the GMAT on Sept 2. Would appreciate some insight on how the MFE interview differs from that of the MBA.
