Advanced Diploma in Economics Cambridge 2016-2017 application

Ah ok, good luck. The deadline is the end of this month so will probably start hearing things after that.

I just graduated from an engineering degree. Not much economics exposure at all, which means I'm struggling to put together a decent personal statement.

Your credentials look very good for the course. I'd say you have a strong chance of getting an offer

Anyone heard back yet ?

Nothing yet, they did say to me that their decisions are usually in feb/march, what are your credentials?

Ah you contacted them ? Thought it would be a bit earlier as there are not that many applicants

Do they interview for this course?

You are all under consideration by degree committee ?

I am at least!

Did you also apply for the diploma in Warwick ?

Has asnyone heard anything? I am still 'Under Consideration by Degree Committee'

Same here, I emailed them today, and I heard word from another applicant.

They replied: I have not received any decisions on the Diploma applications yet, but I would hope to be able to give you a decision within the next two weeks. Best wishes Joanna Gathercole Graduate Admissions - Economics

Ah thanks for the intel. I guess that means that no-one applying for the diploma has a decision yet.

My background is a bit of a mixed bag so I am not too hopeful really.

I am a final year on an MPhys course at a top 10 uni. I got 77% in third year and projected as potential top finisher in the year group. For the hardest maths module in the course I got 93% and then 92% in another mathematical module on complexity science. Every other module in third year I got firsts in the region of 71-81%. I do additional Econ modules alongside the Physics course and have 83% in Mathematical Economics and 84% and 82% in Econometrics mid terms. I interned at a top investment bank and also started a strategy consultancy with some students from my university. HOWEVER, I have a terrible first year at 56% and second year is only 68%.
