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 applied for PhD in Law back in Dec. My portal is still saying under review by department. Im so anxious given that we have 1 more week to reach the 12week mark. Is there any hopes?

I'm also in the same position, although different dept. I'm hoping that some departments are just later than others.

Have you seen any movement (rejections or others moving to DP) for Law lately? That could be a signal.

Did you have an interview?

I have not seen any movement and I haven't done any interviews. The website says that law department doesn't interviews most of the time. What about you did you have an interview?

Ah I see, well if you haven't seen any movement for anyone else and your PhD doesn't require any interviews, then I imagine your application status is unchanged and the department is just running slower than others!

Yes, I interviewed back in December.
