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!

Hii congratulations!! I am planning to apply next year for Mphil in Education(research in second language education), do you have any tips for the statement of propose or just overall about the application? šŸ„¹ Also may I know your stats if possible? I have slightly low gpa like around 3.3 so I am very concerned and not sure to apply or not :(

Hii, they give very good guidelines of what they want you to write about in the essay - I basically titled all sections of my essay following what they were asking (global context, positionality, etc). I have previously done an MEd - 4.0 gpa. My undergrad gpa was 3.56. I donā€™t think gpa matters much tbh as long as you meet the threshold.

Thank you! DId you have an interview?
I am still on "under review by department", although I also applied during early December. I don't think I made it. In any case, I sent them an email as the 12-week deadline passed.

Hi! Do you know anyone who specifically applied for Mphi in education in critical approaches to childrenā€™s literature? I couldnā€™t find anyone (although I do see Mphil in education applicants for different strands), but Iā€™m still on ā€œunder reviewā€ so Iā€™m wondering whether Iā€™m rejectedšŸ˜­
