Oh, right! Thank you.

Please How does one gets informed of a rejection decision? An email or through checking the application portal?

I saw the email first. The slaying is quick and clean. The email is short and sweet.

Hahahaha! This is funny

I wonder what's the order they're using for issuing results. At least the PAO seems not to be handing out offers in a chronological way.

I'm guessing it depends a lot on your preference colleges. Those of us selected more popular colleges may need to wait longer for our conditional offers, but smaller colleges may proceed a lot faster.

i asked my dos this and they said it’s likely random. I put trinity and johns as my choices, and moved from pao to offer in just a few days - so was worried this was a sign the colleges has rejected me immediately and I’d been pooled. My dos runs the admissions for my current college and said it’s completely random!

Commiserations to all who have unsuccessful applications.

For others, does the lateness of the LLM's offers mean admission to colleges will be disadvantaged? At least, those with late offers might not get their first or second preferences if everyone else in other degrees have taken up the postgraduate quota? Or is it by degree that it works, or different by college?

Your portal being updated to PAO later than the rest doesn't necessarily mean that you did in fact move there later, since someone would still need to manually change your portal status. That said, those who receive their offers later than the others within the same programme (as colleges will have reserved spots on a programme basis) generally do tend to be pooled to the mature colleges, since (unlike undergrad) postgrad college admissions is a bit of a first come, first served kind of thing. The most popular first pref colleges tend to be filled up early, usually around now.

Thanks. I suppose though that given the number of LLM students receiving offers appears to be low, out of the number of those at PAO stage, that most colleges still won't have filled their quotas.

I do wonder what the colleges look for in assessing applications. If not academics, then the CV and application more generally? Do they receive the information on race, religion, straight/gay &c. that we provide?

I think you're right. I've been examining the 2022-2023 thread. Some people received offers (majority Wednesday and Friday) after being PAO'd for an entire month!!

I’m at PAO, and just worried about my documents – I sent an unofficial transcript as opposed to buying one, is this a potential issue??

if they have any doubt, they’ll just ask you to provide the proper transcript. I wouldn’t worry! I really can’t see Cambridge rejecting you for this

From what I’ve been reading on past LLM threads (and quite unhealthily might I add) those who had issues like yours with the transcript were asked to send in the original as part of the conditional offer so I don’t think it’s going to be that big a deal.

I haven’t stated any preference. I am still at the PAO stage. Hopefully they will send offer next week.
