Thu Apr 16, 2009 10:12 AM Cedric, I am new to this forum. I also got accepted by email in February but not updates on Camsis... Did you get an email telling you that your Camsis had been updated? Welcome ! No, I didn't get an e-mail notification. I just checked my camsis page myself and was surprised to see 'offer set'. My offer dates from Feb 15 so it took exactly 2 months for Camsis to be updated.... So I'm sure your update is near or has happened in the last couple of hours..!! --- |

Thu Apr 16, 2009 10:14 AM Also, has anyone heard from the colleges (either at Oxford or Cambridge), or does anyone know when we are likely to find out? Some have heard from their Ox college but not many. To my knowledge nobody has heard from a Cam college. Let's say it's all gonna happen in the coming weeks (the usual phrase) :) --- [Edited by Cedric on 16 Apr 2009] |

Thu Apr 16, 2009 10:15 AM I received my Cambridge offer via email on Feb 17th - still no Camsis update, still no official letter in the post. Heard nothing regarding colleges. I guess we just gota keep waiting... As it takes about 2 months to get an update I expect your update will be tomorrow :) but don't shoot me if I'm wrong ;) --- |

Thu Apr 16, 2009 10:33 AM Camsis update here... Hey, (-: You're very good at this it seems! My camsis was updated a few hours ago! Our conditions are similar except I don't have the IELTS one. So I guess I'm pretty much in too!!! I am very relieved that they don't have any academic conditions. [Edited by caribbeanstar on 16 Apr 2009] |

Thu Apr 16, 2009 12:02 PM Camsis update here... Congrats Di ! Well done... I'm glad my fortune telling skills are still working well..! Also relieved about the academic conditions (or lack of it) which means the last hurdle is gone now. It's now another (long?) wait towards scholarship news... !! --- |

thanks! yup... full scholarship... they still have to negotiate the terms with Oxford... but then thankfully i've already got admission so it shouldn't be too much of a worry.

My camsis was updated on 15 April around 13:00. Conditions are official TOEFL score (done), proof of bachelor diploma (only send my master diploma), financial conditions and college membership. No academic conditions for me either! Hope to see you all in Cambridge in September!Fri Apr 17, 2009 10:09 AM Samuel |

does the fact that the Camsis wasn't updated and no email was received till april 15 means that one's application is rejected? Fri Apr 17, 2009 11:53 AM or will the camsis be updated in any case, no matter whether it's an offer or a rejection? |

Hi All,Wed Apr 22, 2009 05:42 AM If it helps anyone, here are a few situations from Australian applicants that I know of: I applied for Oxford and Cambridge. Cambridge came through with an offer by email on 18 Feb. Suzanne Wade said a month later that the paperwork would take "several weeks" to be sent by the Board of Graduate Stduies. I understand that the Law Faculty decides who they want, they send out email offers and then forward your details to the Board of Graduate Studies to send the paperwork out. Today I still have not received the papers. My CamSis page has been updated. But I think that would have occurred only in the last week or two. I have also heard nothing about Cambridge Scholarships. I also received an offer for Oxford on 26 March. I received an offer from my first choice college, Balliol, on 4 April. I have not heard anything about scholarships (any of them). Clarendon has already been given out so I luck out there. I have a friend that has received an email offer from Oxford. But has not received an offer from either of his two choices of colleges. He picked Balliol first and Magdelen second. I have another friend who has not been made an offer from Oxford (a tragedy because he is brilliant). BUT Cambridge told him he will know about his application in the next two weeks. They originally said he would know by 15 April and then they revised that just recently to 'the next two weeks'. If you have not heard from Cambridge, do not dispair. They are still considering offers. If you ask Oxford, they could probably tell you now. |

Hi OffIGo,Wed Apr 22, 2009 05:49 AM Thanks for the detailed post. I'm also waiting for Cambridge, but then i've got an offer from Oxford... and planning to go there. Though the offer came around the same time as yours, I haven't got any news about the college yet. Did you email them and ask? I'm a little anxious because i've heard acco becomes real difficult if the college allotment is late. |
