Cambridge postgraduate applicants 2014/15

YAY another Emma person! Apparently it's pretty okay (no Cambridge accommodation is great) but they've been in the process of redoing it!

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but "up to" means maximum, right? So It should be weird that one college is taking >15 days?

Also have been accepted at Emma It looks beautiful and I hope I am able to go. What did your parents like most about Emma? (Though I suppose it has probably changed a bit since)

Hey guys!

Congrats to those who have gotten offers! I was just wondering when those of you that have heard back form Cambridge sent in your applications?

Thanks

I assume your 1st and 2nd preferences are two of the Big Three colleges (King's, St. John's and Trinity)?

I really regret having put two of the three most popular, I didn't really inform myself at all and would now pick completely different colleges I just thought I'd jinx my luck with the entire application if I thought about picking colleges too much. Very stupid thought process

St. Johns is my first. My second is Queens (which has some sort of deal with my MPhil for preferable admittance). So yeah, I guess i'll be patient.

just be proud that you made it into one of the greatest educational institutions in the world.

Just got into St. Johns! never despair

It's weird how the speed differs between different applications though... I know someone who was rejected by St John's yesterday, only 5 days after their offer. The reason can't be the "high season of applications" only, since vincedp has been waiting for longer... Also I'm not sure it has anything to do with rejections/offers, I also know people who've waited 3 weeks for rejections...All very mysterious. They must be sorting applications by some other mechanism (like field of study, nationality or whatever).

And yes TCAZN, you're right. My joy about the offer at Cam is waaaay greater than worrying about colleges. The only colleges I really don't want to go to are the women's only. But I'd probably even end up liking those I guess.

Hi everyone, it's been one month since I received an offer. However my status still says "You have accepted your offer" while my College membership says "Seeking college membership". Just wondering if this is normal? Shouldn't the status say something like "under consideration by xxx college" according to another post? Many thanks!
