I'm waiting as well, received a very similar email (for a very different course)! It's been 11 days since I got my informal offer, but i was accepted while others were getting interview invites so I'm guessing they are waiting to send out formal offers all at the same time.

It appears to be pretty much the same email for everyone. Did you also get a link to an invitation to a Zoom meeting with your department in March?

The informal letter appears to be standardised! As for the zoom thing, sounds like a unique arrangement from your department's side - I'm quite, quite far from English :P

Oh ok, then. I can't wait to meet the faculty! So excited!

Hi, have you been sent a Zoom link from the English department already? And if so was it specific to your strand?

Yeah, it's a link to an invitation to a welcome event with faculty members. It was in my informal offer letter. The letter says the event will be for all offer holders (for postgraduate English), not only for my specific strand.

Yes, that's what I mean (sorry for not being clear!). I registered as soon as I got my informal offer. Have you applied for English (or any other discipline) too?

Haha no worries, and yep I also received an informal offer for an English MSt - was just checking there wasn’t some other link that I’d missed!

Oh ok, got it. Out of curiosity, what's your strand? Mine is the 1700-1830 one. I can't wait to receive the formal offer!

I received an informal offer for the MSt in English, saying my application was "of a commendable standard" and that I will be receiving a formal certificate of offer "shortly." Has anyone had the same experience? I'm still waiting for the formal offer letter.

Before I received my formal offer, I didn't get an informal one so that's reassuring. Helps to lessen some of the uncertainty. Congrats!

Has anyone received a "Survey Invitation" from graduate admissions today which asks you to evaluate the application process?

Mine was a 3.75 minimum GPA, which I believe roughly translates to a UK first (?).

Yep, probably just automated. I think last application cycle I received it before I was made an offer.

I received it after getting an unofficial offer from the English department. The email says something along the lines, "your responses will have no impact on the outcome of your application." I'm like, WTF? I've already received an informal offer! :eek:

But I'm pretty sure it's because the offer is informal and the graduate admissions team has not been notified yet.
