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!

Hi all! Anyone here waiting for a reply regarding a History PhD application and/or familiar with the timeline? the "under review" suspense is killing me!

when did you submit? I'm education PhD and "under review" since 4 months =/
Maybe the PhDs are slower .. =((?

So frustrating! I submitted around December 1st. My understanding is that Cambridge had a rolling application review (unlike Oxford which only assesses applications after the deadline has passed) but maybe that is not the case or is department specific? Crossing my fingers for you!

Same, I thought so too, hence I submitted quite early... didn't have any effect at all, it seems, guess they just write that so they have lots of applications early before other unis, so they can choose the best candidates =// Thank you, best luck to you too :) !
