MPhil in Technology Policy 24-25

I completed my interview yesterday.

For future reference, yesterday being January 23, 2025. I submitted my application on December 30, 2024. Got interview invitation on January 18, 2025.

Greaatt!! how was your interview experience? I submitted my application on December 2nd and received an invite two weeks before my interview (on January 20th, last Monday). I got an email afterward saying that my decision is on hold, they’re waiting until after the application deadline to finalize decisions. So, it’s basically a waitlist situation. Curious to hear how things are going for others!

How are you feeling about the waiting process? Does it stress you out, or are you managing to stay calm about it?

It sounds like your interview went well, and I hope you get good news soon.
To be honest, I feel like it’s not the end of the world if I don’t get offered a place. I’ll definitely be sad, but I’ll move on and maybe try again next year. I like to think that if I don’t get in, it’s because someone else who’s better suited deserves the offer more than me and that’s okay.
I had my interview, and I was really positive about it and about my performance. The interviewer gave me good signs and even suggested communities I could join while on the programme. But then 4 days later I got the email saying my decision is on hold until after the February 25th deadline. So, now it’s just a waiting game. Idk if I will be rejected or offered a place..
How are you feeling about everything? did you experience the same thing?

I really appreciate your perspective and I think you're right—if it doesn’t work out this time, there’s always next year, and someone else who might be a better fit for the program. It's definitely tough to think about, but I like how you’re looking at it in a positive light.
It sounds like your interview went well too! The fact that the interviewer suggested communities to join is a great sign. It’s a bummer that the decision is on hold until after February 25th, though—waiting can be such a drag. I’m in a similar spot, just trying to stay patient and keep a positive mindset while I wait for a final decision. I haven't received any communication about waiting until February 25th though.
Thanks for checking in, and I hope we both get some good news soon! Let’s keep each other updated on how things go. Best of luck with everything!

Thanks for your kind words!! I actually heard back from the office about four days after my interview. They mentioned they want to wait until they’ve interviewed everyone before making final decisions. It’s definitely tough waiting, but I guess it makes sense to give everyone a fair shot.
By the way.. could you please share more about your background? It would be great to learn more about yourbackground and what brought you to this program.. Let’s keep each other posted, fingers crossed for good news for both of us!!!

Hi, have you received any decisions on this yet? On the same boat actually.

Hey, no news yet.. What about you? Can you tell me what’s your background.. application timeline
Thanks in advance

Fresh grad, CS, Public Policy and Econ background. Submitted on the Jan 5th deadline, had my interview in less than 2 weeks of that. On hold since. ☹️ Keep us updated though!

Hi everyone, any tips for the interview? I have mine in 2 weeks

Hey.. Don’t worry it’s just a casual conversation with the course director, just be ready to talk about your motivations and goals. Wish you all the best!
Btw.. can you tell us about your application timeline?

So I'm presuming the decisions come out at least 3 weeks from now? ☹️ Best of luck to anyone still interviewing though! Also is it standard for them to always keep all applications on hold, or if they're sure do they just send rejections as soon as they think one application is below their standard?
