Is there anyone whose status is still "Awaiting for Consideration by Department"?
This has been bothering me for months.
I applied just before the deadline, though.

And, congratulations to those with the offers.

I'm with you both. I submitted my application on the day of the deadline. I guess we'll just have to wait until the 15th to find out if we're in. So if we don't hear anything by March 15, should we throw in the towel and accept the fact that we didn't make the cut? Or can we still hold out a tiny hope that we might receive an offer later on? I ask because I heard that last year, they were making offers as late as May despite the fact that they said they'd make their decision on all applications by April.

Anyone in the UK willing and kind enough to call Ms. Wade and bug her about this? :)

do you guys think that we didnt make the cut and they just don't want to tell us via phone?

Calm down guys, as the song said "whatever will be, will be"

Come on our lives will definitely move on whether we get the offer for a place or not. Be optimistic, not getting any response yet it means we are not either accepted or rejected. We have still not been rejected man!!!

note that last year when approaching the deadline, some applicants received email saying that more time would be needed to make decisions due to too many applicantions......

I applied with I think a week to go before the deadline and I haven't heard anything back.

Meanwhile, friends of mine who are much lower in the rankings who applied on the day of the deadline have received offers (as part of the original batch).

PS I'm a Cambridge graduate (2012) in law, first class.

I have no idea what's happening. My referees told me to wait and that they would enquire after the deadline had passed.

All I can say is that it all seems to be a ******* mess.

Why is is a mess? Just because you got a first class from Cambridge and didn't get an offer?

Sup guys.

I mean the way the faculty are administering the process is a sheer mess.

Admission is based solely on academic merit and a first in law from a red brick English university is an all but officially stated guarantee of admission - trust me on this one.

My tutor said he would investigate after the deadline had passed.

Apparently a First only opens the door, you have to have other qualities they are looking for to go through it. Best of luck though :) There is still time left, at least many are still waiting.

Thanks for the wishes.

The first only opening the door is true at many other places, the BCL is an example, as are oversubscribed pvt law courses in London.

At Cambridge, as I wrote above, an accrued and not just predicted first from a red brick is sufficient in and of itself - we're told as much here by the people who comprise the fac. board in lectures.

whatever background, trust we have the single aim to meet one another at campus... please do shout if any of you receive the magic email from Ms Wade... only one week before the deadline, this could happen at any minute...fingers crossed!

That makes it very unlikely that you will get in if your first is not from a red-brick, no matter how high your grades are?

After all surely Cambridge are virtually oversubscribed already once they have given places to those with firsts from red-brick+ and there are very few places left for those of us at rubbish universities? (I'm a mature student, only place that I could study was a non red-brick).

Do Cambridge publish any kind of admission statistics? Curious to look at this in more detail

I have been admitted to Cambridge, and I by no means am from a 'Red Brick' University, however I have worked very hard to achieve solid grades and amass a number of interesting extracurricular activities and work experience placements. It is definitely a myth that you need to be from a top, well known University to claw your way into the upper echelons of legal education!

How about if your first isn't from a red brick but from the best university in your country? Does that guarantee you a place in as well?
