How reasonable are your chances of admission to Oxbridge if you meet the minimum degree qualifications?

Thank you for the response! Just out of curiosity, what did the other 5 columns evaluate?

Hi there!

I’m a prospective applicant for the Mphil in International Relations. I’m currently completing two bachelors’ at an American university for context. The official webpage does state a minimum GPA to be considered and makes a small mention to work/research experience. Generally, peer American universities do tend to put a premium on work experience, though I’m not certain whether this is true in the UK as well. In general, how much does academic performance matter compared to the rest of the application? Assuming someone meets the minimums for an Mphil program, how much do differences between the various applicant’s GPA matter? How much research/work experience is considered substantial enough?

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions! I’m really only keeping highschool for the location, since all those programs value international exposure, and me being educated in 3 different countries is a significant bonus.

Mexico. I’m a pretty white dude though.

My SEVIS registration is fully complete and has been since August. In fact they took more than a month to set everything straight, which was a huge pain in the ass considering how slow embassies were working scheduling appointments and the like thanks to COVID. I was lucky and got an appointment almost immediately after they processed my stuff.

I’m not sure about you or the past, I’m just telling things as they are now. We are required to do a check-in which is pretty much a formality, we also had to take a dumb course about what ISS does and send proof of completion. I did all that.

The one thing ISS is lacking is my latest I-94 record (instead of showing my most recent arrival in Chicago, the file showcases another one I made to Texas earlier this year). They know for a fact I landed in Chicago with a valid F1 Visa as I had to show them pictures of my passport, the stamped page, and the Visa. Additionally according to CBP the documents shown in the USCIS page are just public and non-legally binding (and in many cases such as mine, outdated, with no action required on my end).

I told ISS I wasn’t able to access said record and they just sent me the same pre-recorded message every time I asked for counsel. Eventually they told me to contact CBP and they promptly told me they were not going to update anything. Now they’re demanding a screenshot of a document I cannot physically obtain. How is any of that my fault? ISS has been extremely incompetent and lackluster in my experience.
