Nope, still sitting on under review at the moment! I feel like interview offers will start rolling out soon though. I wonder if they actually interview all candidates or are some given offers without interview?

ah at least you’re under review as well now and not just on submitted

Yes, are you submitted or UR? Did you name a supervisor?

I'm under review, named two potential supervisors on my application. It seems there's been a lot of activity today so hopefully we'll get some updates soon!

Think it’s small cohort and many people don’t use tsr. Trawled Reddit but I’m just adding to my anxiety I think

So sorry to hear that, and best of luck with everything else. Were there any changes to your portal before the email?

Asked for feedback as had met with supervisor and had lots of positive feedback previously (Inc future talk and whst we could work on etc).

Having spoken to family friend who works in another dept, she said mphils are so competitive for funding, and I had likely been considered for funding but not been ranked high enough. I had made it pretty clear I could not accept an unfunded place- so it was unlikely I’d receive an unfunded offer as it was clear I wouldn’t accept it. If I reapply again I will try and ensure I don’t get pipped to the post!
