Are you at a big disadvantage if you have not applied yet? Is it me, or is there no personal statement?!

Maybe you can e-mail Ms Suzanne Wade and ask her? She's a really nice person.

For all who are interested, it is my understanding that the admissions board would be meeting today to consider applications--at least applications for the PhD program. However, we may not know the results of that meeting for a month or more (don't ask me why).

For those applying to Oxbridge: Which colleges have you selected and why?

At Oxford, I chose University and Lincoln: University because the professor who agreed to supervise me is a member, and suggested that the college would give strong consideration to his suggestion that they select me; Lincoln because I know a member of the Faculty of Law who is a member there and because they have good funding for graduate students. At Cambridge, I selected King's and St. Johns, both because of their funding opportunities.

At Cambridge, I selected St John's and Conville and Cauis - both for funding. Did anyone apply for financial aid through the Cambridge Trusts? What are the chances of a full scholarship?

Hey guys, my referees will be sending in my references directly to Cambridge. The due date for the documents to arrive is only 2 days away. I wonder what will happen to my application if they do not arrive on time! Any idea?

Sadly, I haven't a clue. But I think it would be wise to contact the Board of Graduate Studies to alert them of the possible delay.

Thx for your reply! But they have been using automated replies due to the enormous amount of inquiries. I've e-mailed the law faculty's secretary, and hopefully i'll get a reply soon. Keeping my fingers crossed now!

Looking to do a comparative study on an area of civil procedure. Didn't find an expert at Cambridge (which means I don't have high hopes of acceptance there), but do have a professor at Oxford (who is also the convenor of the subject group) who has enthusiastically agreed to supervise me.

Oh, that's cool. I'm assuming that you are really into legal practice to be interested in this area. Good luck for your application!

Thanks. Actually, civil procedure is much less legal-practice oriented than it is in the UK. But yes, for some reason, I really like it!
