Has anyone got any updates (good or bad)? I've heard nothing yet, except a rejection from Cambridge. I hope everyone will get an offer!

Nothing yet, and kinda dying over here. Does anyone know from past forums when they tend to make offers?

I've applied three years in a row (not very good at applying lmao) and can say it's always been end of February/early March, a few weeks later than most Cambridge decisions go out! Have you guys been in contact with prospective supervisors?

cool! 🙂 I reached out in past years, but this time I found the perfect supervisor which makes the stakes a little bit higher haha (though I'm expecting a reject - anything beyond that will be a nice surprise).

Wow, congrats!! Could you tell me your academic profile via DM?

My status still says "Ready for assessment" ... I guess I should just assume it's a rejection.

you're spiralling; it genuinely doesn't mean anything yet. It's still very early to hear back. You might not have been put forward for the Ertegun if you applied for that, but you still have a shot.

I think someone in the MSt thread said all offers will be sent within this week.

oh I'm so sorry to hear that! Based on the source code document stuff (some people say that it takes up to a few days for the 4th doc to get added), or a real one?
