Can I ask, anyone think that having got a low first degree at around 71% average, and ranked top 20 out of a cohort of 330 people (which is about top 6% in percentage), is there a real chance of being admitted? I mean, comparing with a lot of applicants who ranked top 1/2, it seems that it is better to lose hope now than being rejected in the coming weeks or days. 

I got into LSE UCL with like rank 3, 73% 

I also received my LSE offer in mid-January. If Cambridge rejects me, I'll have to go to LSE then. But I'm not really sure whether I'll be competitive enough for the Cambridge LLM admission

Even though I'm slowly losing my sanity and hope here, I believe that regarding previous years' tropes, there always be some who moved to PAO quite early, and there always be a majority of applicants who moved to PAO after rejections sending out.

Hang in there everyone! For this week, no news is good news.

Really stressing out at this point. Is there anyone who has received PAO who is yet to complete his graduate degree in 2023?

My LLM status is still Under Review by Department. Any PAO or rejections today?

Another day of no news! Hope everyone is handling the stress okay!

Me too.

Same…. Though maybe that’s just burnt into my screen now….

Last year they handed out rejections till 2nd March and then started with the PAOs but this year it seems they are taking a different route. Fingers crossed. But truly speaking.... Am losing hope now. 

Good morning under review gang. Another day of waiting game.

This year's trope is almost similar to 2021-2022 thread. I think there will be some movements today. I don't want to stress anyone out, so spoiler alert! -- they started sending out rejections on 23th Feb whilst the year 2020-2021, they started sending out rejections on 24th Feb.

And a lot of thanks to @EloiseH on 2021-2022 thread for collecting this data from 2020-2021 thread:

Mon 24 Feb- 5 unsuccessful

Tues 25 Feb- 8 unsuccessful

Weds 26 Feb- 2 unsuccessful, 3 GAO (all evening)

Fri 28 Feb- 1 unsuccessful, 8 GAO (all evening)

Sun 1 Mar- 1 unsuccessful, 9 GAO (all day)

Mon 2 Mar- 4 GAO

Weds 4 Mar- 15 GAO

Thurs 5 Mar- 1 GAO

Fri 6 Mar- 2 GAO

I don't want to talk about year 2022-2023 because there was an unusual delay of processes.

Finger crossed!

Good morning!

I have been lurking all the time but wanted to report that my status is PAO as well.

I cannot tell you exactly when it switched though, since I forgot to check on it the past 10 days.

FYI I am an international student from Germany.

I hope everyone on PAO gets an offer, good luck to everyone else as well! Don't lose hope yet...There will also be ppl who decline their offer in favour of Oxford or American universities.
