Anyone heard anything from Doughty Street after your status changed to "Under Consideration"?

Equally any news from 1 Pump Court, 4KBW or 23 ES?

phew, not just me then. I'll post when I've heard, unless they are rejecting by silence

They don't reject by silence - you will get a prompt message letting you know the good/bad news. Unless they have lost their manners this year.

If you can get into any one of those three then I don't think you'll be in much difficulty if you're half decent.

What stage of your academic life are you at? When I was in school you could only apply to one of the Oxbridge unis, so does this mean you're just starting Y12?

I hate to be one of these people, but perhaps private conversation is the best place for the above?

If you read my previous responses you'll note that - one of those people or not - I'm not too concerned about your suggestion.

If you'd said nothing there would've been no more. But now your suggestion and my response has spawned an additional two posts. Easier to let it slide, no?

And @poppyevamay - no, I'm sadly not yet a barrister. I'm on the way, though :smile:

Anyone heard from Broadway House or 15 Winckley Square?

Also any advice for 30 Park Place? All that I am aware of is that I need to prep for something 15 minutes prior to interview. I assumed that 15 minutes would be appropriate for an ethical problem, maybe a plea in mitigation at a stretch
