Oxford MFE: Admitted !!!


Finally,the first admit of the season !!! Good way to begin the new year.

Felt on top of the world when I read the email from Heather Browning of MFE admissions at the Oxford Said Business School.

"I am delighted to confirm the decision of the MFE Admissions Committee to offer you a place on the 2009-2010 programme."

"The School's objective is that the 2009-2010 MFE class will number approximately 75 students from across the world and we hope very much that you will be a member of this group."

I am one amongst 75 students across the world to be accepted by Oxford. That makes me feel special somehow.

The Said Business School just started looking prettier :)
