Maybe only international applicants? I had one on January 27th and it’s been under review since then. This waiting has me pulling my hair out

submitted at Dec 3rd—interviewed at 1/24—dp at 2/18—offer 3/10. Yes shortlisted applicants of MPhil by Research will surely be interviewed (quoted from official website of this programme, you could check it out :smile: )

I did notice they extended the deadline for application till Apr. Not too sure if this is unique to this year or also happened in previous years. Hopefully it means they still have places available.

on RedNote app - Most Chinese applicants will share their application progress on this app, and by and by we have known all of those who have received offers
