Well done! I was similarly anxious, I'm sure you did great.
I actually heard back really quickly after my interview - I think just over a week until I found out that I had moved onto the next stage of the admissions stage. I received my official offer letter a couple of weeks or a month after the interview.
Good luck!!

Found out today that I was recommended for admission! Just waiting to hear the final outcome now. Thank you so much for all your help!!

Congrats!! After I heard back it was very straightforward and I heard back from them relatively quickly so I hope you're not left waiting for too long.

Today I received an email sayingthat the panel were “very impressed” and that they recommended me for admission. At this time my portal was still saying “under review by department”. I checked the portal 3 hours later and it’s changed to “decision pending-under review”. Does this mean I am in the POA stage already or it is just a wording change as the portal never updated to “under review by degree committee”. So anxious I’ll be rejected now :/
Just wanted to update, I got my official offer!!

I'll PM you!
Just out of curiosity have any of you with offers received any info on the course yet? Haven’t heard anything and slightly panicked it’s because I’m not receiving the mails

Only just seen this sorry! I emailed today and was told that we would get more information about the course during a welcome meeting, the details of which will be sent out sometime soon. Apparently our timetable won't be on the central Cambridge timetable, but rather one of the course directors will make a Google Calendar that we can all view.

Hi, may I ask how you got around preparing applications and the interviews or if you would be open to any dms from me? I’m interested in the course but am not sure if I’m a good fit for it😅thought I could benefit from hearing abt others experiences!
