Applications opened last week, might be jumping the gun a bit but would be good to hear from others!

I've provisionally put Wolfson down first and Corpus Christi second but would love to hear what other people are doing.

Hello everyone! I'm excited to apply from New Zealand. I am still working up the courage to ask one of my references though 1f605 

I'm not too sure on my college preferences yet.

I had a question of my own: Is it possible to accept the offer in March (fingers crossed!) but then withdraw later on if we weren't able to secure any funding?

Hi Jasper, regarding your question, I am not sure about withdrawal but you can easily defer your admission to next year in case you feel you will be able to secure funding within a year.

Are you sure about this? It seems like Cambridge are pretty clear that deferral is not allowed. See: https://llm.law.cam.ac.uk/admissions/frequently-asked-questions#:~:text=Is%20it%20possible%20to%20defer,of%20places%20available%20each%20year.

Cambridge does not defer LLM/MCL admissions sadly. Anybody who withdraws or does not go forward with an offer of admission will have to apply afresh in competition with the new applicants.

Not yet, still trying to fine-tune my reasons for applying.

Does anyone know where to find information on who teaches what papers on the LLM? Seems quite easy to find this info for the MCL but the LLM website is pretty sparse.

Hello! I'll be applying from India. I had a doubt though, I have applied for passport, but I am only likely to get it after the December 1 deadline. Will selecting 'No' as the answer to 'Do you have a passport' make me ineligible? Thanks a bunch, in advance! Also, no early application benefit for Cam, right? The committee will review only after the deadline I presume. Thanks again.

I applied the beginning of October. I put Darwin down as my first choice and Wolfson as my second. I'll be 24 coming 25 when I start, so definitely don't want to be with a bunch of 18 year olds lol. Good luck everyone - we have a long wait ahead.

Hi folks,

I had a doubt - the academic prizes/academic awards section of the form refers to gold medals right? Not necessarily monetary reimbursements. I have a few subject medals but they didn't come with money so not sure I should write them.

I have a question regarding the *please state your reasons for applying * section. Did you write it as a personal statement ?

Oxford and Edinburgh too! Might apply to Durham and Bristol too if I have the time. Well done you, best of luck. I can't believe we won't find out whether we have been successful until at least the end of February ffs lol. 

Can I ask, what are your academics like? Are you still an undergraduate student currently?

Best of luck with them!! I know, it'll be such a wait - I think depending on application time I should get LSE and Edinburgh by end of Jan so at least there's that.

I'm actually training as a solicitor at the moment in a large firm in Dublin - I got a first in my undergrad though and a couple of prizes. How about you?

Thanks buddy. Oh wow, nice - I'm surprised you want to pursue the LLM when you already have a good career.

I'm a recent graduate too, I finished top of my cohort with a First-Class Honours.
