Hey, lalaland1234545

Thanks for your post!

A Score of 650/660 is decent, but it will be great if you can improve your score by 40 points, and then you should be comfortable with your application in R2. Ensure other aspects of your application are well-designed to compensate for any shortcomings in your scores.

We hope this helps!😇

Is someone with a 650 or 660 applying in Round 2 ?

Also, does anyone advice to apply at this score or not ?

Hey, Medusa730

Thanks for your post!

Usually, candidates get to know about their scholarship approvals post-admission letters; however, it may vary depending on the type of scholarship and the school. For example, a better score will always enhance your chances for a merit-based Scholarship, but the scores need to be submitted along with your application.

We hope this helps! 😇

Good Luck!

Had a query regarding scholarships - Do they tell you if you've received one when they send the offer letter or it happens at a later date?

Also, does improving your GRE play any role in increasing your chances if it's the latter.

Thanks for the response! Certainly helps.

I just had my interview, was pretty straightforward. I had researched the program well (electives, core values, cohort), and it helped. Good to know the gaps in your profile and prepare for those. Get someone senior’s eyes on your CV and essays to find out what they think, and then prepare for those questions.

Good luck to everyone else!

Seniors meaning your manager/friends/alum if you know them well. Not sure if school ambassadors will go through essays.

Hey Everyone! I completed my application process yesterday for Oxford MBA. Today I received a mail from one if the Adcom members to thank me for my interest and informing me that I demonstrate several qualities that they look for in an MBA candidate. He also said he’d like to answer any questions i might have regarding the program.

Did anyone else receive such a mail? And what does that show? Is it a standard practice for them to mail applicants for this?
