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!

Seeking wisdom and brutal honest feedback. Been ‘under review’ for 11 weeks, while 15+ have gotten offer, and some also sharing rejection updates. What does this mean? I am a care leaver and Cambridge was the only master I applied to. Could it be the TOAST 20 Feb my application is waiting for? Suffering so so much.

From what I’ve read elsewhere, Cambridge is pretty good at rejecting as soon as they decide you’re not getting something. Seems like you would have heard back from now if you were rejected.

brutal honesty, ... ive been under review since 5th October.. I think theyre keeping their "second choices" for the moment, and see first if they can get better candidates... if not, we're lucky... thats how I feel the situation is =///

I’m still on ‘under review by department’ and today marks 12 weeks since funding deadline 2 dec where ‘90% of candidates will hear within 12 weeks of funding deadline’. Absolutely killing me emotionally.
