How are the interviews? What did they ask? Any indication on when we will hear back from them?
I can't speak for others, but my interview was pleasant, collegial and constructive. If it's any indication of what supervision would be like with my preferred supervisor(s), then I am reassured that I could work well with them if I am lucky enough to get that chance.
I was asked pertinent questions about my proposal by my proposed supervisors, which I think I answered OK. I wasn't asked about anything else to be honest.
I got no indication from my interview as to when we will hear back about offers, funding etc, though of course there is all sorts of indicative information available online.

Would the people who received interview emails mind sharing if they’re international or UK students? I read somewhere that they send out emails to those who applied for funding earlier, and a lot of the funding opportunities are only available for home students. Thanks!
I'm a UK applicant and I applied on the day of the deadline.
For anyone who is looking at applying elsewhere, or indeed applying to Cambridge again next year, my advice is to wait as long as possible to submit your application, unless you are told specifically by someone internally or on the website that applications are on a rolling basis (like at King's College London, for example). The advice I was given by people in the know is that, at most of the fancier, famous places, all applications are considered together as part of a single pool, and not a single one is looked at until the deadline has closed. The best thing in those circumstances, and CAVEAT, only in those circumstances where you know applications aren't considered on a rolling basis, is to work on your research proposal and personal statements etc for longer, get feedback on them from as many people as possible, and focus on getting your application done well rather than done early.

No interview requests. Status still under review.
where else did you apply to? I am certain your application is strong! Don’t lose hope.

Didn’t apply to anywhere else. Applied to Oxford DPhil last year but didn’t get
sorry to hear that. It might be worthwhile to apply to several since phd applications are not just about your accomplishments but also about among others availability of a supervisor.

thank you for your kind reply. I still haven’t heard back, and my area of interest is human rights/public law. Maybe it’s a question of supervision availability or maybe they’re genuinely busy - don’t know what it is. Maybe my application is just bad! Nervous times

well Cambridge does not have many hr scholars. Depending on what substantive issues you intend to focus on, Oxon or elsewhere might be more suitable. I think in your case availability of supervision can be a problem.

I had an interview last year at about this time, but I've not heard anything this year. My application is basically the same except I've finished the LLM now.
Either my exam grades from last year were so bad to take me out of the running, or my thesis grade and the reference from the person who'd likely be supervising me has instilled the admissions team with such confidence that they don't need to interview me

Those who received interview requests could you share your academic background?

Is it safe to believe that there will be no more interview invitations sent out hereafter?
