Imperial PhD applicants

Anyone here applied for a PhD at Imperial? either waiting to hear back or already been accepted and knows their start dates?

I've lost contact with my potential supervisor after an interview (it went well as far as I could tell), and I don't know whether I should consider myself rejected, as it's getting quite late in the year? lol

more context: the supervisor has gone MIA after assuring that they were working on securing funding for me. don't know what to think at this point

that's the thing. it sounded like they wanted me, just needed to figure out funding. that's why i'm confused! surely it's not a case of ignoring until i get the hint...

that sounds like a good idea, thank you! i was thinking of giving a call also?

Unfortunately the funding issue is a big deal, your supervisor needs a minimum of about £100k for a studentship and Imperial typically won't let you start a new PhD student without the whole lot guaranteed up front to avoid people hitting a financial wall part way through. Funding like this is typically not easy to find quickly and most "standard" PhD studentships will have been allocated back in February / March.

Re calling, give it a go but I wouldn't expect that to get very far, most IC staff are still working off site, though some experimental teams are in, but not typically in the office next to a phone. Just about all admin staff will be remote working, but might have a phone redirect.
