Thanks for the reply. As far as I know, they only give first batch of offers to desirable applicants in Jan and Feb, however the majority of applicants will receive updates around March 8th. So it is still far to go......

Hi! I applied during Christmas. I suppose it's a bit late. The status is still "under consideration of dept"
May I ask what's your undergraduate major? I'm a language student and fear that my maths and statistics background may be too weak for the course.

It seems that there are much fewer people in this year's thread. :smile:

Hello,
I don't think maths and statistics matter in this course. Because if you check the course website (https://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/programmes/professional-practice/mphil-management/class-profile/), the mainstream (47%) of previous students are from Law, politics & humanities.

Thank you Zhedong!
My background is quite typical anyway. I really doubt whether I stand a chance, but I suppose it's worth trying.

Could you please post here when you have received any updates? Wish us good luck! : )

Hey. I wonder if you have submitted any essays, like PS/SOP, as part of supporting documentation?

No it is not in the list of supporting documents. By the way, I know some people who have applied to this course got rejections in January. So if you haven't received rejection, it is a good sign that denotes you are still in the line.

Aww really? Sorry to hear that. Do you happen to know when they applied? I wonder if the Committee have already reviewed my materials.

It doesn't matter when you apply. The things is that the committee will review your application on a rolling basis (they review as soon as you submit), however the decisions will only be declared around March 8th (based on past posts in this forum). Despite some excellent candidates can receive decision in January or February, many candidates need to wait until March 8th to receive a decision. If you didn't get any rejection before that date, then you are mostly likely to get an offer.

Alright got it. Thanks for sharing the information.
Good luck Zhedong!
I will post here if I hear anything, good or bad :redface:

Does everyone who applied have a 1st. I applied with a high 2:1 was wondering if my application would still be properly considered.
