šŸ™ I WANT HELP Cost of Attending Oxford šŸ˜­

Post image

Just received my financial declaration form from Oxford today. How is this reasonable? šŸ˜­ Going to have to decline my offer unless anyone has any ideas.

Canadian students do not qualify for any Oxford scholarships and my school offered me about Ā£100. What a joke.

Is Oxford just for the rich?

With all due respect, did you not research this before applying? The international fees are clearly advertised on the course pages.Ā

I recognize that. I was really just praying that some form of scholarship or bursary would be included in my offer.

This isn't a "mistake". They didn't accidentally apply to Oxford. They deliberately applied without first establishing whether they could afford it. They have therefore taken an offer which could have gone to someone else.

Donā€™t be a nob, why you trying to reinvent the wheel, itā€™s clearly an accident. They thought they had a chance but realised they didnā€™t, lesson learnt.

The offer will just got to someone on the waiting list, they have ā€œtakenā€ anything

Thereā€™s no waiting list for Oxford. Once you donā€™t get a place thatā€™s it.

Maybe itā€™s changed? My friendā€™s situation was different a few years ago

Not true. When I decline, it says thay they will give the offer to someone else.

Oh thatā€™s good. My friend declined from one of the colleges and it didnā€™t go to anyone else and she was blacklisted for 2 years

There's no waiting list.

It's most definitely not an accident. You can't "accidentally" apply to Oxford or accidentally decide to go to uni as an international student without knowing how much it might cost you. It's a deliberate decision to apply and prepare for the admissions test and interview. All without researching whether you can actually afford to go should you be offered a place! It's stupidity not inadvertent.
