LEAKED: No. Of Applications GEM 2009 for 10 entry...

[samuk1000]

Here's some statistics for 2010 entry GEM.
The number of applications received by the university would appear to be approx 274
I believe the number of places is 50 for 2010 entry according to the open day information, but it could be more or less than that.
Good luck!

150 total or 150 for GEP? Sorry didn't go to the open day so have little idea abt the no. of places.

thanks sam. 150 places sound like a lot to me.

LOL, stupid emailing system revealing my identity to everybody.

150 for GEM only.

Yehhhhh, not quite... Last year they only took 30. Sorry to kill the mood.

This is true, but there has been a dramatic shift in the number of places allowed for 2010. The speaker at the open day said there should be no problem with everyone in attendance at the open days getting a place, but to consider carefully the implications of studying at Oxford in terms of course structure, expectations of self-directed learning etc. Fully accept could be wrong, have no problem, will consult the notes I took later and reply to thread. May be should read 50?

Ermm on the email acknowledgement i received there was only around 40 e-mail addresses on it...

So probs around 320 applications?

[samuk1000]

According to the notes taken on open day, 2007 there were 150 places (Total?). In 2009 this has opened up to 900+. The reflection of the increase in places will also be reflected in the uptake no. for graduate program Ox you'd imagine.

some cleverer colleagues used gmail or hotmail which is hard to track.

I spotted one from harvard and another from ucla lol. but anyway...
