Doubt that it isn't or is a rejection? Same boat as you!

"Applications are considered in stages as part of a gathered field and the earliest decisions on applications can be expected in January 2021, with the majority of decisions finalised in May 2021 after all received applications have been considered by the admissions committee of the MPhil in Management programme." - https://www.postgraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/directory/bmjbmpmgt/apply

I got this from the course's entry in the postgraduate course directory. Looks like we may be waiting until May. I did email them to ask about how the applications were progressing but didn't get any reply. The waiting is stresssssful

Thanks for emailing! Could you let us know when you eventually get a reply? That would be super cool!

applied in end of dec and just got rejected on the portal
it was expected since I didn't even apply with 1st

Ditto -- rejection!

Were you coming from top UK Uni?
Do you think the first year year grade count a lot?

I can't say much of first year grades, but I felt I had a strong profile: 1:1 in Computing at Imperial College, multiple internships at FAANG and significant volunteering/leadership experience. Career prospects are to bridge my background with business management, but not directly going into the consulting world, which I suppose may be the main disadvantaging factor in my application.

Yes I got you, do you think that I should have written (in the reasons for applying) that I wanted to work in consulting to have more chances to get in?

It's hard to say! Every application is reviewed on its own merit, so there could be numerous reasons. It's too late to speculate in my mind, but once the admissions season is over, you could always email the admissions department to see if they can provide feedback!

I just got rejection as well. I guess it is due to lack of internship experience.

Would you mind telling when you’ve applied?. I applied before the Feb deadline and still under review by the department.

I got a rejection as well unfortunately, but had quite extensive professional experience (two internships at consulting firms and work experience at a bank) + a strong 1st on my degree, so honestly not sure what they were looking for.

Good luck to everyone still waiting on a reply!
