Cambridge MPhil Economics/Finance & Economics (2017/18)

Anyone getting an application ready for these courses (or the MPhil Finance)?

Profile: BSc (Econ) Financial Economics (London) 1st Class already achieved this July. Good quant/econometrics with 1sts. Some relevant econ/finance internships (GES).

Good luck everyone.

Hello!

Has anyone here applied for Mphil in Finance and Econonomics? There seems to be a discussion every year but for some reason not for 2017/18 admission.

I've applied end of January and a few days ago my status changed to 'Under consideration by Degree Committee'. Anyone out there who already got an offer?

Wow, someone replied to my thread!

I got my offer for MPhil F&E in mid Jan, and have been accepted to Hughes Hall. I applied in September. One of my undergrad course mates is currently on this year's intake. BSc (Econ) Financial Economics, Birkbeck University of London, graduated last July, 1st honours.

A couple of people from UCL and I think Warwick also got offers around Jan. It is definitely tough getting a place as the past threads indicate. So many strong applicants.

Best of luck, if you applied in Jan I honestly wouldn't expect to hear back until March/April. They are quite slow with this course.
Same status on Camsis. (App with degree committee) =(

I'm hoping for an update soon.

I guess that happens to most of the candidates who are in the middle position. Some sort of waitlist.
May I ask if you are applying for Mphil in F & E? Also curious to know when did you apply?

Good luck on your application then!

My application was completed in mid-Nov and is still under consideration. I don't know if it is a good signal or not...

I think, it's a good signal as we are still not rejected. So there is still hope!
Good luck to you too.
