Cambridge Graduate Application Status

After my interview last month, I got an email that I'd be recommended for admission. Today my portal status changed from under review by department, to decision pending - your application is under review. I've read elsewhere, that it should change to degree committee first? Anyone have any idea about this?

I've read in a thread that Decision pending means either Degree committee or Postgraduate admissions office (PAO).

Cool, do you happen to know how long it could be before the decision arrives?

1 month after your interview is standard.

Wonder why I didn’t get an email saying I was recommended

Maybe this is program dependent

That makes sense to me, which program did you apply to?

I heard there were some students who got DP around 6-7th feb and have now been given conditional offers. I got my DP on 5th Feb and still on DP. Does this mean something 🙃
Just a super anxious applicant !!

In my knowledge so far all Mphil development studies students who were al DP’d on the 7th are still on DP including me. Hopefully we might get decisions today!
