Cambridge 2016 Postgraduate Entry

Congratulations :wink:

Any news about your scholarship? I assume most of the chemistry ppl get funded lol

Thank you! It's a fully funded PhD so if you get a place, you've got funding (really hoping I've not misread anything about that..). I describe the funded PhDs as a package holiday because rather than having the offer for admission and the funding separate, it comes as a package haha.

I wish it worked like that in the Humanities. :frown:

Super jealous...... only if only one day majority of the social science degrees would come with a package like this. :tongue:

Are there no studentships in those subjects at all then? I never bothered with the scholarship part of the GRADSAF because I knew I'd not stand a chance. I assume from reading posts on here that you get an offer, but still have to wait for funding decision.

Getting a fully-funded scholarship for humanity or social science is like winning a lottery.

I am still 'under the consideration by the degree committee'. However, without a scholarship an offer is pretty much pointless -----

I am nothing but impatient, hahah!
And none of those apply to me - not even accommodation, the course I applied for doesn't require it. .

I'm curious as to the "none" apply. Even if you are a part timer living elsewhere you still need a college offer...unless the course you're applying to isn't actually a degree.

The next few months are going to get intersting. I noticed on Cam Trust website it says Awards for scholarships "coming soon".

They have removed 2015 16 results.

Good look to everyone with offers and funding decisions.

We shall prosper

Yeah, I guess I do then! I have a college but it's for administrative purposes only, you don't stay there, even though I'd be registered at one for two years! And nope, definitely a masters hahaha. And yes it's part time

Stuck at "Awaiting approval from BoGS". Called Grad Admissions Office. They said we required more info so have sent your application back to committee. Cant tell you as exactly how long you'd have to wait to receive an update. 😨

They probably require some justification for why an offer has been made. I remember reading in previous threads that it happens when they just want assurance about a certain aspect of your application.

Well done though! It means the department is satisfied with your application!

That's great news! May I ask where you found the "coming soon" notice? I can't seem to find it anywhere on their website.

This is my third application campaign. I tend to be more relaxed about it as I know that 90% of offers haven't been sent yet. I'll be freaking out in April-May.
