Bohohead,

it is absolutely normal as UCL does not write emails, they prefer to communicate by post... so you should have called them on 8 March 2008 (I was told that decisions arrive in 1 or 2 weeks period)... you still may call them and find out the decision...

Though I think you should check your postbox and you will find your letter there.

Good luck.

Maria

Hi,
Did anyone of you apply for the Shell Centenary Scholarship? Did you get any acknowledgment that your application was received? Also when are the results expected to be released?

I applied to the Shell Scholarship as well and was just thinking the same thing. I didnt get any sort of acknowledgement but I did fax and email my documents. did you apply for any of the other LLM Scholarships, apparently we dont hear about those till March 09!!! I am guessing we will know about the Shell Scholarship by the end of April, fingers crossed!!!!

Hi,
I didnt apply for others as I am not aware of other available scholarships for citizens of the Philippines. What do you mean by March 09?

Good luck to us! I hope at the very least that the application is with them!

I personally think that Queen Mary has the best reputation for IPR. However, UCL are investing in strengthening in this aea of law.

QM certainly has a more established specialism in IP law. UCL are attempting to up their profile and are succeeding admirably - they recently aquired Sir Hugh Laddie as Professor of IP Law. He is a very well known High Court Judge with a wealth of experience in that area. I think if I had to choose - I may well agree UCL is becoming increasingly the more attractive option. However, you should certainly not dismiss QM out of hand - its great strength over a number of years has been IP law. It's a tough choice - and I think anyone who has told you not to go anywhere near QM doesn't know a great deal - if anything - about universities in the UK.

Guys, just thought I should let you know. I finally got a letter this morning telling me that my application is now in the hands of the selectors. Unlike the LSE, UCL do not seem to updat the online application tracker - it appears they prefer paper mail hereafter! :-)

According to the letter the selectors were given my application on April 1 and I should here news by May 7. Does anybody know if takes such a long time or did anybody receive a decision before the date they were given intheir letter?

Selectors were given my application on March 7th, was told I'd hear by April 7th. Hadn't, so rang up that afternoon, and thye told me I was accepted. So even if they don't send you news, if you phone by that time they should know.

Same with me. Still haven't received the official letter. My decision was made on April 4th and in the first place they didn't want to tell me. When I called them last Friday they send me a copy by fax. Got a conditional offer ;-) Good luck to those still waiting!

Do the provisional course choices have any influence on our final course selection opportunities? Does the offer normally tell for which specialisation you have been admitted?

hey guys

Got an offer from KCL and UCL for the LLM. I have decided to go for UCL. I made this decision based on their placing on the league table (9th in world, 4th in UK) and the fact that UCL is within the Russell Group. It is part of the 'G5' sub-group of 'super-elite' universities, along with Oxford, Cambridge, LSE and Imperial. My motivation also for doing the LLM at UCL is to lead to better job prospects.

Would you guys agree with this reasoning as although I am excited about the programme I am worried about my choice?

Hi guys! I have accepted my offer from UCL. I guess I'll be seeing many of you guys this September! Have you already applied for accommodations? Is there any benefit to submitting the application early (is there a priority/queuing system)?

My application was submitted on 28 Feb and I received an acknowledgment letter two weeks later saying that I'd hear the result of my application by 28 April. Today, 30 April, I hadn't heard from them, so I called 02076797742 and gave my application number. The receptionist told me the acceptance letter was sent out on 29 April for a conditional offer of 2:1. So I'm very relieved since I'm having my exams right now and 2:1 is not much of a challenge. LSE gave me a conditional offer of average 66% which at the moment is bleak because my average is 65%.

As to dilemma of having to choose between KCL, UCL, LSE (don't even bother considering QMUL, just not in the same league), I had that dilemma when I applied for LLB. I had offer from all three, and I chose KCL because it has a better reputation back where I came from. It was a mistake. The nickname that other rivals give "polytechnic" is not far from truth. I regret my choice. My friends at LSE and UCL are on the other hand very happy with their universities. They have all the good things to say. Try asking people from KCL and see what they tell you. Not many will actually genuinely believe that KCL is the best. If you don't believe me, choose KCL and see it for yourself :-)
