Official CAMBRIDGE 2017 Postgraduate Applicants thread

Yes, I literally just called them and they said that they are in the process of sending out all of the responses now and everyone should hear by Monday 13th March at the very latest.

The beauty of Gates (or the tragedy!) is that all applicants will receive an email from them, whether they've received an offer or not and regardless of departmental nominations (i.e. if you ticket gates and submitted your personal statement, etc. you will receive an email). So you might as well stop stressing until you received that email, offer or rejection *she says while nervously checking email account every 10mins"!

Does it matter whether you formally accept or not for funding opportunities? I'm basically waiting to accept because I'm waiting for funding!

Thanks, will be trying. May I ask which programme and college are you in?

Im also History department but for Modern British - did you ring the actual history department admissions people? they check your specific application and if its awaiting it generally means they haven't sent it on. Good luck!

Nice to see another Modern British History offer holder!

Hello! My application has changed to 'Awaiting decision by the Board of Graduate Studies. Status: The degree committee is satisfied with your application. However, your offer has not yet been approved.'

So this is actual progress? Sorry, first time on this thread!

I've applied for MPhil in IR and Politics if that's what you're asking

What was your timeline, if you don't mind me asking?? (Applicant for American History MPhil)

economics :-)

So, it's been almost 6 weeks since I was accepted and still no college... would it be worth emailing to check there hasn't been an error? (Eg my application wasn't handed on, or was accepted but marked as rejected?) Or have plenty of others been waiting this long?

Me too! The Cambridge international scholarships (not sure if you're in this boat!) say they will begin announcements "late March" - I have no idea what schedule departmental scholarships are on, but would be very keen to know!

Is this for PhD funding? Does anyone know the timeline for masters applications?

Congratulations to everyone who have received an offer.

People have started getting gates interview calls, and here I am still waiting to hear back from my department. Been two months since my interview and still at "under consideration by department".

Calls? What do you mean calls? I thought they were emails!

And don't despair, I'm pretty much in the same boat! We will know soon...I hope.
