http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040 en Timing of UCL decisions - LLM GUIDE Discussion Board Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:50:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76040 For general info, I received a letter in the post today indicating that my UCL application had been forwarded to the selectors and that I should receive a response by 11 December (offer, invitation to interview, request for further info, follow up response or rejection). My application completed following receipt of the second online reference on 27 October. Obviously I'd be interested in how others' applications are progressing. Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76086 my completed application was received on the 19th of october. i have yet to receive a letter or any form of communication from ucl whatsoever! i think i'll have to give them a call tomorrow to follow up... Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:04:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76092 If it makes any difference, my letter was dated 30 October so was delivered quite quickly (I'm in London). There hasn't been any change to the online status. Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:32:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76095 I have a problem with the online reference at UCL. At the time I submitted my app it was necessary to choose the option"email". However, one of my referee is an old guy a Superior Court Judge. Therefore, I believe he will not be able to enter on line. What should I do? Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:22:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76097 I think you'll need to ring admissions Tel: +44 (0)20 7679 7742. If you're living somewhere obscure / out of time zone let me know and I can give them a call and ask, but it may be easier for you to call so that they can deal with your specific record. I note the website says to contact them if you haven't heard anything within 2 weeks after your application has completed. Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76115 UCL received my complete application on 26 oct but I have not received any reply so far... Should I get worried? Maybe the reply mail takes long to arrive since I am not an UK resident. Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76116 fausto - I wouldn't worry yet - the letter I received was sent second class, so I was just lucky that it was delivered quite quickly. We've had quite a lot of industrial action / strikes by Royal Mail recently, these may have slowed down mail sorting etc. Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:51:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76391 Any news from UCL? I applied via mail and so far I've not heard anything from them. I sent an e-mail asking for confirmation at least of safe receipt of my application... no reply. Getting more and more nervous I must admit... Is there anyone in the same situation? Keep in touch! Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76395 The same here... My application arrived there on 26th oct but I havent heard anything from them so far... I am trying to call them . the number is 44 20 76797742/7381 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76396 Keep me posted Judy Law. Many thanks! Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76402 I cant get through UCL ... Anybody esle trying to ring them? Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:15:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76403 They do neither answer the phone nor reply to e-mails... damn! Could anyone of us based in London go and knock at their door...? Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:42:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76429 I received an e-mail from UCL confirming that they got my application and that it has been sent to the selectors. They also sent me an acknowledgment letter but I've not received it yet... Jude Law, I think you should write to UCL asking upon your application. Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:40:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76434 graduate admissions operate a drop in service at the laws building on mondays-fridays from - if my memory serves me correctly - ten till one, and two till four thiry. i haven't heard anything from ucl whatsoever, and my patience is wearing thin! i've tried calling them, but without success; and the only reason that i know this little snippet of information about their graduate admissions office is because i went to see them in person out of frustration last week. unfortunately i got there at thirty-one minutes past four :P i am now in the middle east, where i will be for the next couple of months and am have thus resigned myself to not hearing anything from ucl anytime this century! keep up the info posts y'all! Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:26:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76436 Ellibertador, try sending them an e-mail. They replied me in 5 days. Forget abount calling. Nobody got an answer so far. Take care! Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:38:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76437 i've just sent off an email - thanks for the advice! :) Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76438 I sent them an email as well. I already tried to call them many times, but no answer. Lets see how long it ll take to gent a reponse. Fausto, in the email did they tell when you may expect a reponse regarding ur application? Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76439 No, they don't. They wrote me they sent my the acknowledgement letter in which I should find this information. But I will aslked them this if I ashould not receive this letter in the next days. I'll keep you posted. Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76444 Hey, I am in Hong Kong and I have received the acknolwedgement letter as the letter informing me that my applciation was forwarding to the selectors on 18th November notwithstanding tha tthe date of the letter was 5th November. It said that I would get further notification by 19th December. I believe that due to the Christmas and New Year's Eve, probably, I have to wait till the early 2010! Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76447 guys one piece of advise stop emailing or calling them...they wont answer any of your questions so far,,its too soon,,have patience! when i applied last year (around October 24) i only heard from them around January, i mean the final decision. So believe me there is still some time left, be patient. right now they must be handling with a lot of applications,,,they have lotssssssssssssssss every year and they also have to handle with their current students etc. its a great university,,i really love it and im very very happy i chose this uni. The staff its extremely helpfull, the teaching quality is 5 stars and even when i had some visa problems the university helped and supported me so dont worry about them taking some extra weeks to get back to yu,,,they are quite busy but they will reply soon. Only call or email them if more than 2 months and a half have passed since you applied. Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76464 Hey, I am in Hong Kong and I have received the acknolwedgement letter as the letter informing me that my applciation was forwarding to the selectors on 18th November notwithstanding tha tthe date of the letter was 5th November. It said that I would get further notification by 19th December. I believe that due to the Christmas and New Year's Eve, probably, I have to wait till the early 2010! I got a letter from UCL a couple of days ago, as well, stating that a decision (at least a preliminary one) should be made by December 9th, 2009. Though it seems it does take long for mail to reach countries other than UK, as it took nearly 3 weeks to get here. So all of you who haven't gotten a response yet, I bet it was already sent but it just hasn't arrived yet. Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:28:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76474 u are right thats exactly what i said before as well, in my case when i received the letter in mid January it was actually dated 15 December so it took a whole month to arrive to my country (latin american country by the way) Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:38:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76476 Hi guys, brief update. UCL wrote me again saying that my acknowledgement letter was sent on 30 Oct and I should receive a decision mid Dec. Unfortunately, I have not received the acknowledgement letter and therefore I do not know if and when I will receive the decision! Legalalien, our decision should be taken in the same period. Let me know we you get it as you are in London and it seems that your letters are delivered pretty earlier than mine. :( Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:39:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76500 I sent an email to the faculty of law on Wednesday and asked a friend who is based in London to ring them. They told my friend that they sent my a confirming letter on 28 th October and decisions are usually sent out in the beginning of dec. However this morning I got an email reply from the faculty of law. The woman said that my application was processed, a decision has been made and the admissions office will send me a letter shortly. It really scared me, I am wondering if a earlier decision is a bad sign... Last week I got an offer from Nottingham but I didnt expect UCL would made decisions before December... So I am thinking about talking to the admissions office and see if they can tell me the decision by email or send the letter by DHL, since I not even got the confirming letter. Do you guys think it ll be possible? Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:01:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76501 fausto - will certainly post if and when I get a decision! Really hope that it's soon - my inability to even get my LSE application to the under consideration phase is driving me mental, so I need cheering up (or not, as the case may be - at least something concrete). judylaw - I assume that they can't tell you over the phone? presumably they'll update the online status once they post the letter out, even if they don't alert you to the fact it has been updated? Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76504 Well, the confirming letter just arrived at my home. I agree with you legalalien, they probably wont tell me the decision by phone. I was jus wondering if there is another way to get the decision letter rathern than by normal post. But I just saw in the FAQ that they cant send it by email but can fax it. I ll try... Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:59:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76510 hey guys, pursuant to my email, i was informed by ucl that my acknowledgement letter was dispatched on the 22nd of october (which i did not receive until last week, when i left the uk), and that a decision has been made regarding my application (scary shit!). ...considering that i am abroad, and will remain so for the next couple of months, i'm quite keen to learn my fate asap rather than wait until i return home. i've been referred to a mr thomas harrington (t.harrington@ucl.ac.uk) of admissions to find out if there is any means by which i can learn of their decision other than by post! good luck everyone and god speed! Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:21:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76517 hey guys, pursuant to my email, i was informed by ucl that my acknowledgement letter was dispatched on the 22nd of october (which i did not receive until last week, when i left the uk), and that a decision has been made regarding my application (scary shit!). ...considering that i am abroad, and will remain so for the next couple of months, i'm quite keen to learn my fate asap rather than wait until i return home. i've been referred to a mr thomas harrington (t.harrington@ucl.ac.uk) of admissions to find out if there is any means by which i can learn of their decision other than by post! good luck everyone and god speed! I was referred to the same Mr Thomas.Emailed him yesterday...Let me know if you get any reponse from him. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:51:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76571 Well, they just faxed my the decision letter. I got an unconditional offer!! I am so relieved! Good lucky for you guys! Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76572 congrats judylaw! have they updated your online status? (is there any point in me checking mine at hourly intervals for the next week?) Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:59:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76574 congratulations judylaw! :) Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:01:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76576 WOW!!! Congratulations JudyLaw!!! Please, give us instructions how to get update on our applications (to whom send e-mail and so on). Go celebrate! Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:02:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76577 Thanks! As I used the paper form, I didnt have an online tracking, at least as far as I know. I knew a decision had been made by the email I said before. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:12:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76578 I'm scared to go home and look at the mail, now. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76579 Thanks everybody I am working now and struggling to get focus on my work again hahaha As I said before, on 18/11 I sent an email to the adress given by fausto llm-law.... asking if my application was received (at this time I didnt get the confirmation letter). On 20/11 I got an email from a kind lady called Laura Parrett who said my application was processed and a decision has been made. So i asked if she could email me the decision letter and she told me that all the letters are sent by the admissions office so I should talked to them. She also gave me the Mrs. Thomas´ adress from the admissions office, but he havent replied my email email so far... Over the weekend I saw on UCL website that they cant email you the decision letter but they can fax you if you request. So this morning I called the admissions office and asked them to fax me the letter, and teh guy just said OK and faxed me in one hour. ps: sorry abou any mistake but I am in a rush Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:34:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76587 Hi guys, I sent an e-mail this afternoon asking for update. They timely replied me a while ago. My application is still under consideration and a decision should be issued within the end of the week. They asked me to contact them then so they will be able to give me the outcomes. I have to wait for the end of the week so... (not only for the due rest). Keep patient! Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:13:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76589 Judy Law, Is there any deadline to accept their offer? Have a nice evening celebrating! Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:51:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76590 Fausto, the letter says: "You are asked to respond within 4 weeks of the receipt of this letter". But I guess this dealine just starts when you get the original letter because you have to complete and return a form enclosed to the letter. It is something I need to ask them. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:13:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76592 Fausto, who should you contact to get the answer on their decision? They said they'll make a decision by December 9th in the acknowledgement letter, and since my offer at Edinburgh is pending, I'd rather know when that date comes around than to wait another 3 weeks for their mail to reach me. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:30:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76593 i sent an e-mail at this address llm-law@ucl.ac.uk and they reply me in a timely fashion. Report you application number if you have it. I think this speeds up a reply. Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76615 Congrats Judy Law! I was wondering though, when did UCL receive your application, or at least, when did you submit your application? Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:30:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76618 Hey there! I am new here, but have the same problem - need to wait too long. I submitted my application to UCL (as well as to some other unis) somewhere in the beginning of November, and they received my second reference letter on November 6. A week ago Ms Jane Ha emailed me that they need some additional documents, and I sent them this Monday. This morning I have been noticed that everything is OK, and my application is going to be passed on to the Graduate Tutor for consideration. Well, I have to mention that I have also applied for the Chevening scholarship, and this double-waiting is killing me)) I guess I will get some information about Chevening in February, and the final decision will be taken in early March. So I just try to have as many stuff to do as possible to keep patient))) Thu, 26 Nov 2009 17:59:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76670 Hi guys, I have also received an e-mail from UCL recommending an offer. I am awaiting a letter in the post officially confirming this, as apparently, the e-mail does not constitute an offer. I was very surprised and happy to receive a reply so soon, especially as I only applied 2 weeks ago! However, I noticed that the application number quoted on the e-mail is different from the application number on previous correspondence. So this has left me worried that they may have me confused with somebody else. Judy Law, can you confirm whether the application number on your e-mail when you received the offer was the same or different to the one you were given when you applied? Thanks in advance. Thu, 26 Nov 2009 19:07:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76673 HI Geroge Congratulations! In my case de applicattion number was the same in both letters. Thu, 26 Nov 2009 19:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76674 I received a similar e-mail as well. My nummber is correct. Ring or e-mail them and ask for clarification. Thu, 26 Nov 2009 19:32:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76676 ...my email does not mention my application number at all! haha how peculiar! not that i'm complaining (or particularly care to be very honest!)... Thu, 26 Nov 2009 19:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76677 :( no email. mind you I haven't emailed them. (tries not to read too much into the delay) Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76678 email 'em! light a fire (proverbially speaking :P) underneath them! Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:04:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76679 good lord no. I've been living in the UK for far too long for that kind of thing... perhaps I should try channeling my Australian friends... :) Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:08:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76896 I have just received an email from Graduate Officer notifying that I was recommended to the Admission Office for an offer... Well, fingers crossed! Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76898 I also just recieved an e-mail from a Graduate Tutor saying that I have been recommended for an offer and that I will be sent an official offer letter subject to checks by the Admissions Office. What does this recommendation of an offer mean though? Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76899 congratulations! I emailed the other day and was told that my application was under consideration by the graduate tutor. I hope the delay isn't a sign that I'm in the maybe pile..... this waiting is driving me insane! Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:12:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76900 I think the "recommendation" thing is a reflection of the fact that the law faculty doesn't have the authority to make formal offers. In practice I suspect it's decision is the clincher though, and that any additional checking by the graduate admissions team is a formality / designed to ensure that papers are in order, etc. Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76901 oh ok! Yay! thanks for the advice and good luck with your application! :) Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76902 its, not it's. What is wrong with me today? Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:31:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76904 I've just had my official offer letter come through today. Very happy. I also have offers from Durham, Nottingham and Warwick. I'm just wondering though, is UCL clearly better than the above 3 and worth the extra expense in tuition fees and living cost, because someone told me that there is hardly any difference between UCL and Durham. Can anyone offer any advice? Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76906 Hey so those of you who already received an e-mail saying you got recommended for an offer, when did you apply / get the acknowledgement letter, and what did the latter say about the time the decision is going to be made by? Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76907 I applied on November 6, and received the email a couple of hours ago. According to it, "a formal offer letter will be sent to you in due course, subject to final checks by the Admission Office..." Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:42:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76912 UCL received my application on the 11th of November. I haven't yet received my acknowledgement letter. When I called they said it was sent on the 18th of November. I assume it will take a while to arrive since I'm from the Caribbean. My letter from the graduate tutor which i received via e-mail says the same as Tatiana's basically... Fri, 04 Dec 2009 13:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76935 My applications were received by courier on 27th November??? Does nybody thinks it was too late to apply??? Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76938 I still haven't heard anything (just need to vent!) Clearly old people like me get put in the too hard pile.....this is driving me nuts - I'm getting to the point of thinking that even a negative response would be good, as it would put me out of my misery. Is there anyone else out there who applied early but hasn't heard back? [do I exist, or am I imagining myself?] Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:30:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76939 legalalien, I'm in the same boat, I submitted my application on 23rd October, and a decision is supposed to be made no later than 9th December. So I guess there's still a couple of days left, but I'm wondering whether they'll even send an e-mail or are they just going to send it by mail, making me wonder for another 3 weeks, which is as long as it takes for mail to get home. Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76940 Ah - well, I emailed them and the lovely Jane Ha has said that my application is with the tutor, and that they'll email to let me know the outcome. it's just that they're not emailing. presumably because there isn't an outcome yet. Perhaps they keep falling asleep reading my personal statement? Suggest you email the llm-laws address that someone gave above, and ask for an email once a decision is made... Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76941 Yeah, I already sent it to that address, and they only said that my application is still pending a decision. Fri, 04 Dec 2009 18:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76944 I've received an offer from UCL. Just so you can know timing, they received my paper application somewhere between the first week of November... can't remember the day. Sat, 05 Dec 2009 02:08:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#76956 legalalien, i am in the same situation, i have applied on 28/10 and a mature student (at least not a fresh graduate) I have yet to receive any response from UCL! BUt i have made the application by mail (silly enough) but now, my patience has already been wore out! hope we can receive a reply earlier, no matter positive or negative one, it's so annoying to keep waiting for something! Tue, 08 Dec 2009 16:26:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77042 still radio silence.... surely when they said they'd respond by 11 December, they didn't actually mean 11 December :) maybe they consider part time applications separately? Wed, 09 Dec 2009 22:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77091 When I first rang UCL they said I should except an answer in mid-January. Then I emailed Jane Ha and she said I should wait a week to get a response. She was pretty accurate I must say, because a week later I received the offer from her, and so did my fiancee. So, based on my experience, if she said 11 December, you'll probably hear from pretty soon. I know waiting sucks... I've been there. In fact, I was so anxious about this LLM that I've been looking at universities since last December. It was only a year later that I was finally put out of my misery and received an offer of a place. Wed, 09 Dec 2009 23:08:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77094 My application (paper) was delivered to UCL on 3rd December. I have no acknowledgment from them whatsoever of receipt. Do they generally acknowledge receipt of applications? Do they email acknowledgment? And aslo, do they email or send a letter of offer? Thu, 10 Dec 2009 01:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77098 They don't give receipt, but they later send a letter (by post) saying that your application was received. As to the offer, they first email you saying that you've been recommended for a place and then the admissions office post a formal offer letter... Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77164 Hey, so what have those of you that have already gotten an offer from UCL, and have alongside also applied to Oxbridge, done with it? Are you going to accept it and then cancel if you get accepted at Oxbridge? Fri, 11 Dec 2009 22:21:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77168 Yep! What else could we do? I want to secure my place at UCL first... if Oxbridge call me, then I'll find a way to "decline" the accepted offer. I know it's not the best thing to do, but we don't really have an option, do we? In fact, before taking up UCL's offer I'd already accepted an offer of a place from KCL. Sat, 12 Dec 2009 00:41:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77174 Beicon, have you alredy received UCL official letter? Have you already accepted their offer? Sat, 12 Dec 2009 14:45:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77195 Damn. Just received a hard copy letter rejecting my application. I guess the world won't end. Just goes to show, though, that it's not all about marks (for the record I went to a respectable Commonwealth university, have an A+ average and came first in my year. And have 15 years' private practice experience... (bitter, moi?). I suspect that it may be more difficult to get a part time place than a full time one - and clearly there are some non-academic criteria of some kind! Will have to make a plan B. Congrats to those of you who have been accepted - best of luck for your move to London and do mail me if you want any advice on London law firms! Sat, 12 Dec 2009 20:46:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77199 commiserations legalalien. keep your spirits up, and good luck with the remainder of your applications! keep us posted of the outcome! Wed, 16 Dec 2009 22:59:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77399 I haven't got my official letter, but I've emailed the admissions office and they'll see if it's possible to send a copy off to me by email rather than regular post. The recent postal strikes in the UK have left a huge backlog that I'm not quite sure if it's been cleared already. For instance, Aberdeen's offer letter was posted off to me on 24th November, but it only arrived today! Before the strike, I remember ordering copies of the prospectus and it arrived about a week later. The backlog therefore obviously still remains. Wed, 16 Dec 2009 23:06:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77400 Beicon, you lucky man! QMUL sent me an offer dated 6th Nov but I received it only yesterday! Note that the offer was under one month deadline (pratically already missed!). Wed, 16 Dec 2009 23:25:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77404 I also have an offer letter from QM dated 6th November, but I received it on 1st December (Guess I'm lucky indeed... or maybe it's you that has been having a lot of bad luck...). Considering it was my first offer, I was so desperate that I rang the admissions office and asked how long I had to answer to them. They said I should answer as soon as possible, but they were aware of the postal strikes so there was no need to run like hell. I logged onto their system only last week to decline the offer and it was still working. If you want to accept the offer, I'd try logging on at first. If it doesn't work, ring them and explain the situation... they can't deny the strikes and the backlog that has been impairing deliveries throughout the entire UK (and world for overseas residents like myself). Sat, 19 Dec 2009 00:19:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77494 I did my application online, references were submitted on the 27th of November. I got an automated confirmation by email stating : "All future correspondence from Admissions will be sent to you by letter rather than email." I haven't received anything by letter yet, no confirmation of any sorts. I'm hopeful of getting something before Christmas, otherwise I'll probably email them in the first week of January. Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:50:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77585 Hi, I submitted everything on december 1st and my references did so on december 2nd...yesterday (21st) I got an email saying that my admission was recommended to the Admissions Office and that in a few days I should get a formal letter. Wed, 23 Dec 2009 06:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77606 My paper application was delivered on 3rd or 4th December. The Admissions office, on my enquiry, informed I should hear from a Graduate Tutor before 22nd December. It's past and am yet to hear anything. Should I presume in the negative? Wed, 23 Dec 2009 13:16:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77622 Bookcrazy, I sent you a PM, and if anyone else is wondering the same thing, the lack of response is NOT a bad sign, it is probably (aka such was the case with me, I was worried about the same thing) just a sign that they have sent mail to your adress in less than 3 weeks before the date they gave you and that it hasn't yet arrived to your home address. Wed, 23 Dec 2009 15:45:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77626 Has anyone received an email offer in the last 10 days from UCL? Wed, 23 Dec 2009 17:16:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77627 Bookcrazy, I have received an email on Monday. It said that I am recommended for an offer and should receive the official letter soon. It's really strange though because in the end they made a decision pretty fast. So hopefully they didn't make a mistake. I 'll only be 100% convinced that I got admitted once I have received the letter by mail. Wed, 23 Dec 2009 20:57:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77634 I too was anxious about the official letter. I sent an email to the Faculty of Laws and they said I should contact the admissions office. I rang them and they sent the letter to me via fax. The original hasn’t arrived, but they said I could use the fax copy to accept the offer. Thu, 24 Dec 2009 08:25:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77640 I received a letter in the mail today stating that my application is incomplete (letter dated Dec 1). Namely, it is missing a 'transcript'. However, my academic transcript was submitted in my online application. I have since emailed them asking for clarification, and re-uploaded my academic transcript. However, due to the Christmas break, I am not expecting a reply anytime soon. Does anyone know if they need an official transcript or was there a mistake made? Thu, 24 Dec 2009 11:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/76040/last#77645 The Graduate office is closed till january 4 th.. ten more days of waiting ;-( my other offer expires on jan 9th, praying that I should come to know before that. Anyways wish you all a Merry Christmas and a great year ahead !!
