I also applied about a week before the end of March but no response yet. Got this when wrote to the admission office: If your application is already under consideration by the Department or Degree Committee, and has been at this status for longer than two months, please consult the departmental webpages or contact the Department directly for further information on when a decision will be made.

Yeah so I suppose we have to wait. Do you believe given the application was on a rolling process, that we are in a big disadvantage since we only applied towards the end? Cheers.

I would say so, especially compared to the people who applied early on. It would be nice if this course did a gathered fields approach to applications, but it is what it is.

From the course page:

Normally the latest date for decisions to be communicated is the end of June.

So we still have quite a while to go it seems :/ but please do update if anything changes for any of you!

FWIW, looks like at least 96 applications received for an expected cohort size of 20-22

I have also applied for this course. Does anyone know if I can make up the transcript and other materials from my senior year, such as language scores

What do you mean by "make up"? You're unable to make any edits to the application material you have submitted by the deadline provided (end of March 2023).

If you mean language scores such as IELTS, I believe they will ask them from you in case they make an offer

I also saw that "brokensponge" from the main Cambridge Postgrad applications thread was offered a place (post #5858 here - https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showpost.php?p=98226377&postcount=5858) - so that means there's at least 19-21 spots left :smile:

i think that they will give out offers more than actual class size number, cuz someone might reject the offer, they have to make sure the class size. Base on the previous admission statistic, it will be 40% higher offer made than the actual class size, which means 19-21/34-36.

Yes, however they would most likely release these in tranches - ie. release the initial 19-21 and then see who rejects any of these and send more offers after that time. They wouldn't want to get themselves into a situation where they they've enrolled more than they can support (think: thesis supervisors and teaching staff, physical size of teaching rooms that need to be allocated) especially being the initial year of offering for the course and the startup bugs that that entails. :smile:

I suspect there is a little bit of a processing delay at present given the desirable AI conference they've just organised, staff changes, not to mention the beginning of term and the MSt applications that also need to be processed. It's all happening!
