Hello everyone, I've seen a lot of threads on cambridge postgraduate applicants but none specifically for architecture so I'm creating this one as a forum for us to converse and hopefully share helpful information with one another.
Please state the following:
1. Domestic or International applicant?
2. Undergrad Cgpa or applicable alternative
3. Status of application
4. College of interest
5. Any other helpful information you would like to share

hey, thank you for creating the architecture thread. I am a UK Student, Postgraduate application, I had an interview in late jan (around 2 weeks ago) and the applicant portal remains on department review, open application to colleges. I didnt ask the processing times during my interview but saw online it can take up to 12 weeks. Have either of you had updates

Hi! I had my interview yesterday, but I'm surprised to hear most people did theirs in January. May I ask when you applied and if you've received any updates

Hey, I'm glad that you had your interview! The academic term only started a few weeks ago so it's unlikely that theyve interviewed everyone yet, in the automatic reply when i confirmed my interview it mentioned nearly 400 applications have been made to the department so I imagine they still have many interviews to do. I'm not sure what date i applied but it was late novemeber/early december. I havent had any updates since my interview but I will post here if i get an update (fingers crossed for a postive update soon).

Hi everyone, I had an interview last Friday in which I had issues with my webcam but the interview still went well by God's grace.
I was invited to another interview today and they specifically stated it was due to the issues I had with my webcam and that it would be just for 10 minutes this time. I'm taking this as a good sign because I doubt I would've gotten a second interview if they didn't have a place in their program for me.
So I was wondering if anyone got a second interview or if anyone has any updates or offers yet.
Best of luck to everyone!!

I emailed the aha office today to ask, as I was unsure of the 12-week decision time. They said the Admissions Committee is interviewing over the next couple of days and should have a decision by the end of the week.

A second interview seems like a good sign, but I have no idea. I haven't had a second interview, update, or offer.

Update, the second interview went well and decisions will be made before the end of next week.
Fingers crossed for everyone.

Hey guys, I’m thinking about applying next year. What was the interview like ? Is it sort of abstract questions or just about your portfolio?

Hello, in my experience we spent more time on my research proposal and relatively little time on my portfolio.
So definitely familiarize yourself with your research material more.

Sorry to hear that. May I ask where did you receive the update? Was it the Applicant Portal or email? Also, where else are you thinking of applying/have applied?
