Not expecting much in terms of real advice from this place, but I have offers from Oxford and two US non-CHYMPS top-10s for PhDs. Would be working with top-quality academics at any and the Oxford one is actually the most famous/influential.
Am I insane for even considering Oxford?
go to oxford and get a job there. they hire their people

Wouldn't it be too late when Oxford funding decisions come out?

Not true anymore except for perhaps theory
I just got accepted to start an IR DPhil at Oxford and I've kind of been out of pure academics since my MA a few years ago (doing thinktank work). What should I expect to do in my first year, and what could I do to prepare better between now and October when I start?
I think IR is better than the pol sci part of Oxford. In pol sci at Oxford - according to reports - there is a lack of supervision, lack of attention to placement, and a lack of quant.

No.

Why does theory still do this? Don't they realise how it looks?
Oxford has good placements here, interesting.
Why don't they put them up on their website?
Because they're not very good, that's why.
Oh this is blast from the PSR past. Oxford placements. A classic theme.
Is there a problem with placements on the doctoral program at Oxford?
