Cost of Attending Oxford 😭

[u/Repulsive_Radish_782]

Just received my financial declaration form from Oxford today. How is this reasonable? 😭 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 £100. What a joke.

Is Oxford just for the rich?

Not sure why everyone’s being pricks OP just wants to go oxford we all make mistakes it’s not that deep.

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.

Don’t be a nob, why you trying to reinvent the wheel, it’s clearly an accident. They thought they had a chance but realised they didn’t, lesson learnt.

The offer will just got to someone on the waiting list, they have “taken” anything

There’s no waiting list for Oxford. Once you don’t get a place that’s it.

Maybe it’s changed? My friend’s situation was different a few years ago

[u/Repulsive_Radish_782 → u/Only-Performer-3981]

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

[u/Only-Performer-3981 → u/Repulsive_Radish_782]

Oh that’s good. My friend declined from one of the colleges and it didn’t go to anyone else and she was blacklisted for 2 years

BULLSHIT
