Yep I'm doing engineering too and I've heard Trinity take a while to sort it but I'm sure you'll find out your college soon. I'll only be able to undertake my PhD too if I get the full funding. I'll be considered for CHESS as I'm from the UK. Read further down you've gone for Gates so I assume you're an international applicant? Which division of the department did you want to do your PhD in too?

I'm in energy, fluid, and turbomachinery division with research focus in nuclear energy. What's yours?

Yeah I heard the same about Trinity - applied to it based on the scholarships they have on offer but just found out recently that it is one of the most sought-after colleges.

Good luck with CHESS! Yes I'm international (of Malaysian nationality). Most likely with the Mechanics division - in Bioengineering/Biomedical engineering. What about you?

Thank you! I've applied to the energy, turbo machinery and fluid mechanics division. Fingers crossed for both of us that we get full funding!

Yeah I've also applied to the same division but my research focus is in combustion. What stage is your application at?

That's great then! I've had a conditional offer but not got a college sorted yet. I only got my offer last Friday. What funding have you gone for?

Good luck! Which college did you applied for? I applied for Gates & CISS and also a scholarship scheme from Indonesia. Pretty much hoping for the latest at the moment. Hopefully we all can make it! Finger Crossed! :smile:

Applied to Trinity and Jesus. Take about a week or two before getting rejection from Trinity. Took about 2 to 3 weeks before getting offer from Jesus afterwards.

Hey guys is it normal to be stuck in the BoGS stage for a while? I've secured funding and all for a PhD, and just waiting on the actual offer and the college decision. I've seen on here that it's supposed to be a busy time for BoGS - should I just wait it out?

Nice college from what I've heard :yep:

I think as with all colleges, you'll feel happy and at home and it'll be YOUR college.

Yeah, I was the same way -- I'm going to be at one of Cambridge's affiliated institutes next year, so I had a place and funding secured with them early on; applying to Cam itself was just a formality, as they're the degree granting institution (and I have to get a college place, of course!)

I think I was with BoGS for 3ish weeks. I submitted my application in the first week of February, and just got my offer last week. I'm "seeking college membership" now.
