I applied for an MSc course at Oxford thinking that I probably won’t get in because it’s very competitive. Well, guess what, I did get in!! Unsure about what I wanted to do next, I started a full-time job after finishing my undergraduate degree. After graduating in September 2023, I knew that I wanted to continue in higher education, but I wasn’t sure what subject I wanted to pursue, as there are so many things that interest me. I remember desperately searching for master's degrees to find ‘the one’ every single day. It wasn’t until the end of October that I decided I wanted to pursue a Master's in Applied Linguistics after my Psychology degree, and I started my Oxford application on the 1st of November. It took a bit over a month for my perfectionist self to finish everything and submit the application on the 18th of December (2 weeks before the deadline).
The application itself was not as daunting as the thought that I was applying to OXFORD. I had to write a personal statement about my reasons for applying, my suitability for the course and my future aspirations. Trying to cover everything in just 750 words was complicated, but also fun as it made me reflect a lot on my academic journey and how I have pursued my interest beyond my studies. If anything, it made me realize that I truly wanted to study this and that I was worth of a place at this prestigious university.

I received an invitation to an interview for the 8th of February. I found it very helpful that I was told in advance who my interviewers would be and what to expect. I really enjoyed the interview (despite feeling nervous), as it felt more like a chat and the interviewers were lovely and made me feel so comfortable that by the end of the interview, I was sad it was over! However, there were so many more things I could have talked about, which is what made me think that perhaps it wasn’t ‘the perfect interview’, but what does ‘perfect’ even mean?

I received an email starting with ‘‘Dear Eva, Congratulations!’’. The day I had been waiting for finally arrived and I received an offer from Oxford. It felt so surreal that I kept reading the email over and over again.

I am now about to start my course and if I had one piece of advice for you, that would be 1) to believe in yourself more and 2) to apply anyway! If you don’t try, the answer will always be no. But what if you try...?
This post really struck a chord with me reading about the journey to apply for an MSc made me think back to a time when I was juggling so many online commitments and realised I needed to do my online class just to clear some space, reset, and come back focused. It’s a great reminder that sometimes we need to make the deliberate decision to find balance before moving forward with purpose.

Le pyjama est l’un des vêtements les plus sous-estimés dans la garde-robe masculine, alors qu’il participe directement à la qualité du repos et au confort quotidien. En choisissant des matières respirantes et agréables, on favorise un sommeil réparateur et une sensation de détente prolongée. De plus, le pyjama accompagne aussi les soirées à la maison, où l’on recherche avant tout un équilibre entre aisance et praticité. La Collection Mariner s’inscrit dans cette logique en proposant une variété de modèles qui conjuguent fonctionnalité et style discret.
