Reapply the same Cambridge MPhil

Just helping my buddy to ask.

He was rejected last year in mid Aug after waiting for 4 months.

He likes the course and wants to reapply again. Will he still stand a chance or just a waste of time? Will he be better off if apply right now? The course application deadline is end of June.

Anyone has experience, please share.

It is worth applying again - but only with a seriously improved application.

Agreed. No point applying with a similar application to the previous year.

Some advice:

a) Make sure the research proposal is well-researched and a supervisor in the relevant department has some experience with it;
b) contact said supervisor with questions and to see if he/she would be interested in supervising such a proposal.
