Well done! I also was interviewed on 17th Jan and moved to PAO 3rd Feb for this MPhil, but haven't heard anything since then. Out of curiosity, where in the world are you based? I'm wondering if it's taking extra long since I'm international.

Australasia - I have also finished my bachelor's (different academic years) so they had my final results already. I know people from my (undergrad) university have been accepted to this course before.

hmm I’m in Australasia too and finished my bachelor’s in 2021! I guess there’s just variations in the system 😅

Fingers crossed you get an offer soon. Being at PAO is a really good sign.

Hi guys, can anyone PM me? (Account very new) Am an offer holder in the ID stream, also holding an offer from epi at lshtm. Currently super confused, would be great to chat with both prospective applicants and graduates - and discuss the course at cambridge.

I am also in this year's cycle. Based on the schedule from previous years, it seems like an interview invitation will be coming out in the coming week. I haven't gotten the rejection letter yet, so #fingercrossed, and good luck to you!

Hi, can I ask which stream did you apply? I have applied to the health data science stream and heard that the interview was quite hard as they may ask something technical about your CV.

Hi, I have applied for the HDS stream this year and have an interview upcoming. Can I ask how hard your interview was? Did they ask technical questions about your CV?

Good luck to you with your interview. Are you perhaps an international student? It seems that some rejections have already been sent out, and some early invites (makes me think this is for those eligible for departmental funding/Cambridge college funding which is mostly international if I'm not mistaken?) and possibly the next batch of invites would be for candidates not considered for departmental funding.

Yes, I'm an international student!

That’s awesome man! Still anxiously waiting for my update. Good luck on your interview!

Btw, ID track here?

Hi,
I am an international student too - does it mean I won't be getting funding provided if I get an interview invite?
also, is there any update on interview invites for anyone, I was expecting it today based on the previous admission cycle 😕
