Application timeline:

I'm also a fourth year MMath student right now, so hopefully it will boost my chances of getting in since I'm already taking courses comparable to ones in Part III.

Out of interest, why didn't you apply in the third year?

2. My mathematical interests have changed since when I was starting third year. While Warwick has a lot of 4th year modules which are comparable to Part III courses, they don't really have any which are in my area of interest.

1. My 2nd year grades weren't that great (65% compared to 83% in 3rd year).

About to Apply for an MASt in Physics, college of preference being Peterhouse.
My main worry with my application is my 2nd year grades - averaging at 67% at just the competitive margin, from exams I took in rather tenuous circumstances tbf. Although I'm predicted a 1st this year I'm worried how this might affect my application. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

It is reassuring that most of us are still at the Department stage
Though, it would be nice if at least something happened

Yeah it's definitely frustrating. Better than Imperial though, I've had a completed (with references) application there since October, and I still have not had a single update!
