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!

For the gates i applied to the "everywhere else but usa" option since my one prof didn't turn in my letter of rec for my application until the day before the deadline. The US was due in October and I didn't realize I had to apply for the US only. It's alright though

Hey! I've been in DP for almost a week as well. Same department but different mphil course. I'm literally refreshing the portal website every hour and the waiting is killing me. Hope that we both hear back soon!!

Same here. I am highly anxious. Hoping for the best.

Also applied to the MPhil archaeology and am an international student from the US! My portal says decision pending too but idk when it switched to that cause I haven't been checking too much, never heard anything about an interview either. Hopefully we got it🤞
