This is killing me, do you think all the "offer" will be send before the "refusal" , if so this is even worse as the longer you wait the less chances you have ... Good luck to all !

That is what they have done in previous years. And yes, it's especially painful for the reason you state. You have to watch your chances dwindle gradually rather than being told immediately that you didn't make the cut.

But I don't think we should panic just yet, it doesn't seem as though many offers at all have been made. They will probably make a chunk of offers after the faculty meeting on March 6th.

I don't know this but I also think that March 6 will be significant as the second faculty graduate board meeting. In previous years there have been bulk offers made the day after.

The LLM page says the last offers will be made by 15 March - but in previous years they haven't kept to that at all.

My status in CAMSIS just changed to "Awaiting decision by the Board of Graduate Studies. The degree committee is satisfied with your application. However, your offer has not yet been approved."

From previous posts, I'm taking this as a positive sign. Can anyone confirm that the approval of the Board of Graduate Studies is merely a rubber stamp and that the more important decision of the department has already been taken? (That's my guess at the process, anyway). Does anyone know of any circumstances in which the offer might not be approved?

You are lucky. Stop worrying.

I can confirm this. Your admission is very likely now.

People whose CAMSIS status hasn't changed by now however should slowly start to worry. Clock's ticking ...

Hey Julia did you get an offer? If so congrats! I vaguely remember reading that it takes about 6 weeks to find out if you got into your preferred college but don't quote me on this, I might be wrong :)

Congratulations to everyone who has got an offer! So far, 4 offers! Let the heart attacks and delusions begin! The last offer should be made by the 15th of March especially for international students who applied for Gates Cambridge.
To those of us who are still waiting, lets keep expect the best! I have resolved to check CAMSIS once every day in the morning.
