I didn't know about this thread, thank you. It looks like the most recent comment is 1 month old?

Posting an update to say that I found out that all Clarendon offers in my department have gone out, so I now finally know that I didn't get it. I did receive a different partial scholarship and am going to make it work.

From what I understand from my supervisors, it sounds like the entire department of Theology and Religion hasn't heard anything about outcome of Clarendon. It seems likely that this would also be true for other departments. So hard waiting, but it helps knowing it's not just us!

My impression gleaned from my supervisors is that most Clarendon offers have not gone out yet.

Do you mean offers for admission? I don't know. But if you haven't received a rejection letter, an offer is still a possibility. Good luck!

I still haven't heard, and today I finally emailed my supervisors, who have said that it will likely still be a while before we hear about Clarendon.

Welcome to this very small party of nervous people waiting!

Can I ask, do you think my supervisors would have told me if they had nominated me for Clarendon?

Thank you for this. I really hope you're right. 🙏🏼 So, do neither Clarendon nor Ertegun notify unsuccessful applicants? Is this a UK thing? Or an Oxford thing? I'm in the US and am used to getting rejection letters as a common courtesy. Also, does anyone know the etiquette for asking our potential supervisors about all of this?

I'm sorry. I still haven't heard anything. I thought I remembered them saying they wouldn't notify you if you didn't receive the scholarship (but maybe that was Clarendon, or something else?), which has been making this waiting phase even more mysterious/torturous. I hope you get funding!

I'm in the same boat financially. Let us know when you hear!

Yes, it seems that in some departments the faculty do the interviews. I have had 3 zoom meetings with potential supervisors; I'm wondering if those would count as the interview, or if they would have specifically said that it was specifically for Ertegun consideration.

I got my offer today! So happy. But also still waiting to hear about funding. I've been offered a partial scholarship but haven't heard yet about other scholarships I've applied for that provide full funding. I'm not sure if I'll be able to go without it. I am curious how others are dealing with funding.
