Notes
To the poster below, I'm sorry to hear you haven't received funding. It's always a bummer. However, I think your approach is wrong. First, there is absolutely no requirement you go to an Ivy to get funding. Most of the funded American students I know here were top students at top-25 universities, yes, but considering how competitive funding is, taking the best students from the best universities doesn't seem insane. I also know some who were top students then had incredibly impressive work experience that certainly helped them get funding. I also know many that went to non-Oxbridge universities in the UK and got funding. Of course, there is considerably less funding available from Oxford than from PhD programs at US universities, and I agree the University should do a better job about admitting how few funded spots actually available to applicants, particularly as their '1,100' figure includes Rhodes and are overwhelmingly in the sciences, meaning humanities and social sciences have very few. However, to assume that it's some elitist conspiracy against you is to discount the fact that there might simply have been better applicants than you. I am sorry to hear you didn't get funding -- I also have not received any -- but I think it's ridiculous and arrogant to assume it could only be because of elitism. Oxford is one of the best universities in the world and attracts many of the best students; some will in fact be better students than you are and will therefore be chosen for the few funded spots. Best of luck in future applications or work.
