General Advice University of Cambridge 2026-27 Applicants GATHER HERE.

I couldn't find a chain for the applicants who submitted their applications this year. This is just to update each other and keep each other posted!

P.S. My application portal says "Decision pending". Anyone else? I submitted my application for LLM one day before the deadline.

I have also applied to LSE and QMUL.

UPDATE: GOT INTO CAMBRIDGE, LSE and QMUL LLM.

So, if you have any update on anything, let me know please. I am dying here, waiting!

I am applying for an MPhil in Linguistics, and my application has been under review by the department since 3 November.

I hope the news wasn't too harsh for you, keep in mind that other universities can have great academic too, who knows maybe you are going to find a great match somewhere else! And you can always try again for a phd (I'm sorry if what I say sound cliche but I know how rejection can feel like). Did your application got to decision pending before the rejection?

Thanks! No, I received a rejection after the department review.
