That was my understanding of it, but I mean, I’m just an applicant as well hahah
Has anyone here applied for the MPP at Cambridge as well? And if so, have you heard back?

Hi, I applied for the Cambridge programme as well and waiting to hear back from them, currently my application is under review by the department.

I also have an unconditional offer from LSE.

That's great, congratulations to you as well!

If you get an offer from Blavatnik, will you choose Oxford over LSE?

I have partial funding from LSE, so entirely depends on where I can get funded.

Same situation as mine. I got an unconditional offer from LSE as well but couldn't take it as I wasn't able to secure Chevening scholarship. Now my hope is on Oxford, which has a country-specific scholarship for me, If I get the offer. Though I don't really expect it, to be honest. Hope you have a better chance than me.
Still no news from dphil in public policy applicants?

Aww, I am sorry to hear about the Chevening…

It is the same story in my case (have an offer from LSE and awaiting Oxford’s and Cambridge’s decisions), but I have been shortlisted for the Chevening interview, which will take place in April- hopefully will be able to secure the funding, otherwise won’t be able to afford to study in UK…

P.S. I hope you will get and offer from Oxford and secure the scholarship from them!

I have an unconditional offer from LSE as well, but I’ve applied to the Political Science (Comparative Politics) programme there. I have also been shortlisted for the Chevening interview, but mine will be in March, 14. Hope everything works out for all of us who are so eager to attend the MPP that ended up here.

I hope so, however, the application confirmation email sent by BSG mentions late march- so not really sure. I believe other taught Master's decisions are out now.

Good luck with your Chevening interview. Mine is in mid April. I hope we will hear some good news from BSG before our interviews.

3-4 more weeks to wait and I hope all of us would celebrate the offer!

Sure! Submitted my app by early december- I did not recieve an email, but frantically kep checking the status on the website every few days. Around January end, the status changed to PAO Review. On Feb 6th got my offer with an email update. Generally, after PAO update, even their website mentions within 10 days you should have a decision. If your application reaches that stage, most probably an offer is made - however, please note it is conditional (the conditions are quite normal like uploading your financial dec form, visa form, and so on).
