Hey@all

Did anyone apply to UCL using the paper application form?
If yes: Did you receive a letter acknowledging your application? When?
I haven't heard anything from them yet (however I've to admit that I applied not till 25/01/10).

Thanks and good luck to all of you with your applications!

I applied using the paper application form. I received an acknowledgement letter about three weeks after sending the documents and received the offer about one week after that. I'd ring them up if I were you.

Thanks a lot!!
Ok, three weeks for the acknowledgement letter - that appeases me.
I didn't anticipate that UCL would make a decision quickly; just the lack of an acknowledgement concerned me.
I decided to be patient (and not to ring them up) - especially since I made my application just one week ago.

melbsolicitor,
Fyi, I just applied to UCL & Nottingham two days ago after I got that feeling that I didnt make it to cambridge.. How's your progress?

Has been a longtime and some updates are pending:
Cambridge - Papers with degree committee for over 3 months now. getting on the nerves

Oxford - acknowkedged. apparently, 19th March is the date of results

UCL - some issue, need to send them some stuff again, have been lazy

KCL - offer made beginning of Jan and accepted. Might ask for a deference or refuse later.

QMUL - Offer received by email around 3 weeks back. Paper offer yet to receive.

LSE - Email offer received 2 days back, paper offer yet to receive.

MIDS Geneva - They said Mid March to end of March

I really want the Geneva or Oxbridge to work out. Let's see.

Heya guys,

I applied to both UCL and the University of Cambridge in November 2009.

Offer from UCL came via email in Mid Jan 2010, and letter in Mid Feb.

Offer from Cambridge came through at the end of January 2010.

Now it depends on what grades I get, I'm a final year undergraduate student at the moment.

All the best ! x

Hey everyone, my application stages are as follows:
Cambridge- papers with the degree committee since mid November.
LSE- Unconditional offer on the 26th February 2010.
UCL- Unconditional offer since sometime early in January.
KCL- Unconditional offer made at the beginning of November
QMUL- Unconditional offer made at the end of January
Dundee- Unconditional offer made at the end of January.

I am a bit bamboozled about what Cambridge expects from its students. I've got a first in law, four years of legal experience working as a litigation solicitor at a top tier firm, 11 full length articles published in local and international journals, good referees, I teach a unit at the local law school, sit on lots of law-related committees, volunteer at a community legal centre and so on but still, no offer. I can only presume the field is exceptionally strong (perhaps due to the flow on effects of the financial crisis) this year so my credentials are not good enough.

I guess I just thought I'd have a reasonable chance. I am not quite sure what else one has to do. Cure for cancer anyone?
