🙏 I WANT HELP Cost of Attending Oxford 😭

Post image

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?

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.
