Anyone else applying for Neuro? And also does anyone have any idea when we will hear back, given that interviews usually take place within a month of the application deadline?

Good luck everyone !!

Hello! The course I'm applying for has asks for three references, and there is a note that says that it is only essential for two of these to be uploaded by the course deadline:

"Whilst you must register three referees, the department may start the assessment of your application if two of the three references are submitted by the course deadline and your application is otherwise complete. Please note that you may still be required to ensure your third referee supplies a reference for consideration."

I am wondering when exactly they would expect the third reference to be uploaded? It's not very specific. Two weeks after the deadline? Or after a conditional offer is made? I also find it confusing that it says you "must" register three, but also that you only "may" be required to have a third reference be supplied. I would appreciate any information anyone has on this, thank you!

anyone submitted their applications for any of the bio related courses (pharmacology, biochemistry etc)?

Edit : Anyone applied for the MPhil in Economics with a MSc in Economics?

Hi everyone! I applied for the November deadline of my course and was wondering if anyone had any idea on around when January results came out last year? Or at least when the 'upload' button went away? I tried to look for specific dates here but they all just say "11 months ago" haha

Meeeeee. I'm currently studying MSc in Economics.

Do you feel there’s a huge overlap with your current MSc? I’m considering but seems like mine overlaps a lot..

I applied for the November deadline and I’m waiting to hear back. Good luck!

hello. Lots of people on last year's thread also mentioned the 'upload' button. Can someone explain to me where this button is found and what its significance is?

Also btw if you really want to stalk people and find out when they got decisions, click on their user profile and in the list of posts you can see exact dates of their messages.
