Why no result from Cambridge?
Wed Mar 19, 2008 08:12 AM
I received Oxford Offer immiediately when the results began to come out.

But nothing from Cambridge. No rejection, no offer, no in waiting list and nothing. I wonder if they forgot me.

Are there still offers coming out at the moment? Does this mean I am rejected by Cambridge, at least very little chance?

Hi! Good luck to you and me.

If you are also accepted by Cambridge, which one would you prefer? I am about to choose Oxford already!

I'm waiting for Cambridge, but for 99% I'm about to chose LSE. As far as I know it offers much better courses for those who wish not to focus on common-law subjects (and I base on the opinion of my firends who did their LLMs in Cam and LSE). However I will make my final decision when I receive reply from Cam...

I'm in the same boat (Oxford acceptance, but nothing from Cambridge). I'm from the US, where is everyone else from? It seemed like offers were made to the UK and some European countries, but that was it.

I sent an email asking for an update to llmadmissions@law.cam.ac.uk yesterday, but have received no response.

My offer of Ox has no conditions set.

I wrote to Cam and replied by "You are still being considered".

I received an offer from Cambridge on March 10th; I'm from Canada (Eh?). I think there have been at least a few other offers to Canadians, just based on reading the board.

I think I'm leaning towards Oxford, though, due to its slightly better reputation for training aspiring academics with its tutorial program.

Also: Cambridge's team colour is officially "light blue", which pales in comparison to Oxford's, uh, much darker blue.

(Get it? "Pales" in comparison? Ha!)

mschuster-- Just spoke w/ Cambridge b/c I had to make an amendment to my application and they said that my application would go to committee next week, which is the next time they're meeting. Assuming people are correct about decisions going out by country, that would mean you're going to committee next week as well. Congrats on Oxford, though. Keep me posted on Cambridge, and I'll do the same. Good luck!

I am curious actually about if there is rejection already. So far nobody reports rejection from Cambridge yet.

I guess they are on Easter holiday at the moment...

Hi mschuster43

I received the same rejection email this afternoon having contacted the department for an update on my application. See you in Oxford! What were your college choices?

I received an offer today - conditional...so you could still hope to get an offer as it does not seem that they have a particular timing.
CAMSIS not updated either.
fyi I am a UK resident.

Good luck!

I think I have been rejected by Cam because I have no any information so far. Camsis remains the same as half a year ago. No contact and no phone calls from Cambridge.

What happens? Anybody in the same situation as me?

I think I have already seen my destiny this Fall in Oxford...

I'm wondering if we are supposed to write an email if we want an update on our application? It seems that Camsis will not date up for a while... Any suggestions?

From what I know so far, it is not necessary to write for an update. Because as long as a decision is made----Offer/Rejection/Waiting list----they will immediately email you.

Not receiveing an email means no decision has been made yet. So I think there is no need to ask for the update.

No harm though. You may try.

I feel a smell of danger for my not hearing from Cambridge anything till now...

I thought that you will only be emailed if the decision is positive? Doesn't it say so on their website?
I think I will wait till april... and then ask for an update
Good luck to you and all others!
