Hello guys! Can I send my IELTS score after the April 5 deadline for Oxford SBS? Would they accept?

I don't see any mention of submitting the test scores after the deadline on the Oxford website. So, by default, I guess you should be sending the scores along with your application. I advise you to check with the admissions office to be safe.

Sent in my application last week at the deadline. This is my dream school so if I get in I will definitely attend.
710 Gmat. Q48 V40 IR6 Essay6.
I currently work at a Bulge Bracket in the US but am certainly lacking in the overall work experience department.
Fingers crossed. Looks like we hear back about interviews on April 26th.
Does anyone know if we do not receive notification for an interview it means that we have been declined admission?

I guess one other possibility is waitlist without an interview.

Deadline was extended till 12th April. It probably won't lead to any delays in interviews

Hey - I've been made an offer by another school which I have to decide on within a month. I'd still like to interview at Oxford and would like to be able to at least consider it but am not due to hear back on interview until this Friday as I applied in R4. Has anyone got any experience of expediting an interview in order to get an earlier decision or am I simply at the mercy of the deadlines and will therefore have to decide before I know about Oxford? (in which case I will take the other school).

Just got an offer to interview. Somewhat surprised but will prepare the best I can! Genuinely wishing everyone else the best of luck also.

Does anyone already accepted have initial advice to prepare?

Awesome! I’ve been reading that acceptance rates after being offered interview tends to be quite high? Is there any stat for in person vs Skype?

Also was wondering if there was any way to find out total candidates that have been accepted already? Since this is the last round, I imagine that there would be less spots but could almost guess that number? I am prob guilty of trying to play the numbers game when I know I shouldn’t haha. Excited but nervous at the same time!

Some regular MBA questions, the ones I remember were:
Why do you stand out from all the other applicants (how different are you from the other applicants)
How would you find a job after the graduation
Convince me that you are a confident person (something like this but I remember it was a very unusual question)
When was the last time you persuaded people to follow your lead and how did it feel

Good luck!

I just finished my interview. It went well and was more conversational than an interview. Now all I have to do is wait... fingers crossed... the questions were really about my career journey to date and my motivation for an MBA at Saïd

I interviewed (via Skype) on May 10th. Very conversational. We basically discussed my work experiences and motivations for MBA and SAID.

All the best to everyone applying. I guess we can expect to hear back in the first week of June.

Got a mail regarding sending Official Transcripts early in order to get Final Decision early as well.

*fingers crossed*

Congrats! It was my understanding that you had to send in your official transcripts by May 31st in order for them to "release their final decision on time". I guess based on your experience that it is possible they are letting people in early?
