LLM Discussion Board

Just received mine by email as well, but no details as to what the conditions are, and it hasn't shown up on CamSis yet.

Hey,

Got my offer a few years ago. I'm from England.

I don't mean to sound negative but I asked a friend who is on the LLM there at the moment and, quite poorly, Cambridge don't e-mail you if you don't have a place; you have to check CamSis, but that isn't updated very often, quite a confusing system but that's how they do it apparently.

Do you mean rejection is only sent via letter? So it means if I don't receive an email Offer next week, maybe it is bad news. But anyway I will still wait and see. Will report in this Guide no matter the result is positive or not. By the way , how about Ox? Any news?

As I understand it, not even that, they just cancel your application on CamSis, which isn't exactly helpful! But I did hear that they make decisions on in 'groups' so by all means they could have just done the first round and then see how many places are left afterwards etc.

Still nothing from Oxford, I think they operate on a similar basis, but to be honest, Oxford is a long shot for me, my tutor told me I had about a 75% chance of Cambridge but only 25% of Oxford, so I'm not holding out much hope, but fingers crossed...

Any Germans out there who have already got mail from Cantab.?

Lucky you.

What's worse, I heard a candidate from the same country of mine received an offer many days ago. But I still have no news. It is good that I still exist on Camsis.
