Application submitted on 17th January. Maths test on March 16. Interview on March 23. Got the offer last week.

Congratulations! How was the math test? Would you recommend studying or is it just simple linear systems and derivatives and that? Thank you!!

Ah okay! to be honest I'm wondering whether I should have applied for part time too. I'm guessing they won't be able to change me over? Ah really? That's good to know, when did you email them?
How come you applied for Columbia? Do you live in the UK or?


I think they can switch you over once you hear back and confirm your place tbh... don't quote me on it, but I think as long as you're not registered yet then it's def possible. I emailed ICN (not admissions) on Monday to ask whether it's too late to apply and got a reply the same day :smile:
I live in the UK yeah, just wanted to explore a bit by applying to other countries but the US is too too expensive for a Masters.
Did you apply for Cog Neuro at Manchester also?

Hi, yeah no worries. I think I applied January and got an offer late March. Are you coming straight from uni? I graduated last summer so have all my grades.

Yup, straight from my bachelor's.
I'm an international, will graduate this July.
Thanks so much for the info.
Will you be accepting?

My portal has been stuck on ‘currently being processed by admissions’ for the past 2 days

Mine changed today to the same status

Hi! I've also applied to LPT, just waiting on a response now! May I ask what time you applied? My references were accepted on the 31st March so it’s been 6 weeks or so now, I'm just conscious it may be busier for the department later in the year!


Hi!

Unfortunately, for some reason I am unable to find any emails from UCL from before they sent me the email regarding my offer. That being said, it cannot have been more than 4-5 weeks after my references had been received that I emailed admissions and even then it was another week and a half later that the portico updated. I highly suggest emailing admissions if you are growing impatient.

I wish both of you good luck, I hope to see you in September! If either of you want my academic background, I am also more than happy to share that.

Ah okay! might have to consider that. Yeah I get that, I looked at University of South Florida but it costs so much and you can't do a stand alone psychology masters, it has to be part of a PhD.
Yeah I applied to their equivalent which is called 'neuroimaging for clinical and cognitive neuroscience'. Essentially the same thing haha

Anyone got any news from msc international real estate and planning? It’s been more than 10 weeks…

Hey I received my offer for international real estate and planning this morning at 2;30am GMT. Not sure if its of any relevance but I submitted my application the day before the deadline (30th March) and received acknowledgement of it on the 15th April. Wishing you luck, yours is likely to come in the next few days!

Not sure yet. Love the course but is expensive and means a big move to London.
Where are you from and what is your Bachelors in?

Hi guys, I applied to the (part-time) MSc in Infrastructure Finance and Investment - references submitted 27th of February.I contacted the department and they indicated that the department review of my application had been favourable and UCL Graduate Admissions were due to finalise all remaining requirements. However, due to ''very difficult current circumstances'', it was uncertain what the next stages will be. The Admissions office is also now not available between 10.00 and 14.00 UK time through phone: it seems indeed the office is struggling with processing the high volume of applications? Other experiences?

I applied to the same program about a week after you. I take it the favourable review means you've been accepted, but now just need them to update the portal? Did you email them or call and speak to the department directly to get the info?

I have been seeing people say that the portal gives them a reply date. Does this date only show up for certain departments? or after a certain time has passed? I am a few days short of the 8-week mark and have heard nothing back.

I'm from India and I really want an acceptance, but honestly I have very little clue of what I'll do if I do get an offer. Would love to go but will have to figure out the finances. The moving part is exciting to me, so that's a plus
But yeah the money :/
Bachelor's in pharmacy btw :smile:

I've accepted my conditional offer, and I would like to send UCL the documents they need to make my offer unconditional. I'm just finding a bit hard to understand when/where should I upload those documents.

You can see in this image attached that they are saying "upload official confirmation to Graduate Admissions using the link above as soon as you are able to". I can't find that link, and I'm a bit confused about what is expected from me to do at this point (besides paying the deposit).

Hey, Does anyone know if "your references have been received and your application has been initially assessed" means that my application hasn't actually reached the department yet?

Was the condition of your offer to just send some documents or to graduate with a certain grade?

I'm on computer. No "update documents" anywhere. The menu bar has: My Applications, Referees, Offer, Funding, Post-Offer Information, Application Process, More about UCL, Communications, Ask a Question.

I feel pretty stupid tbh, It should be an obvious thing but I think I'm missing something.

Can I ask how much the deposit was? I know some unis want a deposit and I have no clue what UCL will ask for. Does it come off tuition or is it non-refundable?

A few days ago, they asked me for a personal statement and it was there but now I can see it. When I uploaded it a a attention sign was there so I think they have to set it .
