Best of luck in waiting until March 31st! It can feel impossible! :smile:

I got an email from them saying I'd have to wait till May 15th, so I'm just going to put on my clown makeup and wait here 🙃

March 15th, you'll get there soon, all the best! I'm sure your application is great, don't second-guess yourself!
Hi everyone, I'm an international student from the U.S. and I've applied for two programs at Edinburgh (MSc International Relations and MSc International Relations of the Middle East). Anyone else here applying for programs in the politics department?

I'm also a little paranoid because the application status for one of my applications has been updated to "on hold", and it makes me nervous that they decided I'm not good enough for this application round and they're holding me off until the next one. Also paranoid about applying to two programs at once. Basically just lots of paranoia :smile:

Hi! I'm also an international student from the U.S. :smile: and applied to the Sociology and Global Change MSc (which is in the School of Political Science)! I wouldn't worry too much about your application being "on hold". I've heard a lot of other people say it's very common and not a bad thing! They just want to look at every application before making a final decision! Can I ask when you applied? I submitted my application in early December and my status is still at "new" -_- . I did receive an email from the admissions department saying its taking 8+ weeks from the time you submit your application to the time you get your decision. I guess we just have to be patient! Best of luck to you!

May I ask when you applied? I applied at the end of December but am yet to hear back, it's just been 'on hold' for about two months even though I've got all the sections ticked on myed

I sent my first application just before the Jan. 29 deadline, and the second one just after. So I guess I should be hearing about the first one soon! The patience thing really isn't working out for me :frown:

Hi, I'm applying to the LLM at Edinburgh and just want to ask a quick question - what are they doing by "verifying" our reference? What if I submitted my reference with the signature of the person who signed the letter - would they contact the person who signed the letter to verify?
Hi. I am applying for LLM at Edinburgh. Has anyone already got offers?! The wait is killing me 😌

Hi, I applied for an MTh last year but deferred my offer. I received my offer on 25th Feb so shouldn't be too long for you to wait now!

Hi, anyone applied for postgraduate online course?
I applied just before and just after the Jan. 29 deadline for two programs in the Political Science dept, and I just heard back yesterday for both. I never got an email notifying me about a decision, so keep randomly checking the portal!

I applied for the MSc Philosophy Science and Religion online programme. Received a conditional offer (english test) earlier this week. Think next week they'll send out more outcome to applicants. All the best!
