Cambridge LL.M. Applicants 2022-2023


Brandeis

In threads from other years it seems that the portal updates keep coming even several days beyond their deadline for decisions. Still, I believe no one from our year got a "moving to PAO" yet? Only rejections so far? Isn't that unusual?

I think the admission team is now at lunch. For last one hour there has been no movements. This year Cambridge has been very very slow. On the brighter side, the Cambridge applicants community herein have been very cordial. I appreciate all those who with a sad state of mind reported the rejections here. I hope your applications will be successful in other programmes. All the best wishes for you!

Think they're back from lunch - South African, LLM application unsuccessful. Portal changed in the last 20 minutes or so. In terms of application content - I graduated with a high first, clerked at the Constitutional Court, work at a top tier firm and have a couple of applications. Sorry to everyone else who has not been successful so far; and fingers crossed for the rest of you!

And by "applications", I mean "publications" - clearly still shook by the rejection!

Hat tip to all of you sharing your status. It's not an easy thing to share. Much appreciated & best of luck with other apps. 

Anyone else think the LLM application process feels like a shambles? I think everyone should get the answer at the same time or on the same day.

100% agree - I must have refreshed that portal over 100 times in the last 24 hours; absolutely torturous. It would definitely be kinder to just have an automated message go out to all applicants simultaneously!

Thank you to everyone sharing their decisions! More power to you

Does anyone know when we will start seeing 'awaiting approval by PAO' notifications?

I think I speak for everyone in answering that question in the negative

Hey guys, I just made an account to let you guys know that my app was unsuccessful. My surname begins with a W and my first name with a Z. I submitted my application a week before the deadline. I did not get an email (checked my spam box too). 

It is clear that the later you get a notification the more chance of success, they hand out rejections first.

Good luck to everyone else!

My portal status has just changed, glad to be the first one here (surname starting with B): 

"Awaiting approval by PAO - Awaiting approval by the Postgraduate Admissions Office."

Good luck for all of those waiting! I'm rooting for all of you!

Well done. *High five*

I hope I find out today - either way. This has upped the ante. 

Is "approval by PAO" synonumous with an offer?

I believe PAO means only small procedural checks remain and it is very likely that you will be provided with an offer.

"PAO will also assess the documents submitted for meeting the conditions of your offer and confirm your admission. If your admission is confirmed, the PAO will also process your CAS if you require a Tier 4 visa."
