I thought applications would be considered in the alphabetical order of our surnames, atleast according to last year’s thread. Mine begins with R, so is it a good thing or a bad thing?!

That’s great, all the best!

It seems like the first stage of applicants were notified around March as I recall. I’ve also check with the school on this as I’ve been accepted by Edinburgh but the deposit is due in January so I’m trying to figure out how to work that timeline until I hear back from Cambridge and others without losing my spot. I’ll let you know when the faculty answer.

I noticed the status of mine changed about a week ago and my last name is very early in the alphabet, so that would make sense!

I don't see any application status section on the portal, bit of a dumb question and I'm guessing I'm missing the obvious, but where is the status shown?

I see that someone has updated that they have received an acceptance from Cambridge in December on the app tracker. Any one else who has received any news?

The oerson said it was for the MPhil not the llm.
Are you sure it was an acceptance already? I never heard of such news that early (I think last year the first acceptances where reported late Feb/ beginning of March)

I think it sounds like you're humble bragging, which is not a good look.

Just wait for the results like all of us ... We are not the admissions office.

Did you need to post the same wall of text question 5 times? 

Hi everyone.  My status just changed to under review by department.  My application was complete, with recommendations submitted, by mid-November.  I wish everyone good luck.

My status was also changed to under review by department recently.
Question: do they calculate your GPA if your transcipt only shows individual grades and not GPA? What if your GPA is shown on your CV? Would they still calculate it? (I am little bit worried they calculate it differently than usual in my country)

I was wondering, did we always have a USN number or is that something new? Does everyone get one?

Guys - just one question: 

While I have only applied for the MCL program, I think it might be the same at the LLM: I just noticed that when downloading the application from the application portal, the personal statement I entered into the input field ("Core - reasons for applying") has been completely re- or unformatted - all paragraphs (ie spaces between paragraphs) have been removed, and the text is just a entire 1 giant block which is very hard to read. I hope the department gets a better version to read. 

Is that just a problem I have, or do you also have similar problems?

Hey Andi! I had the same problem, the whole text was one block. I was very upset but couldn’t do anything about it. (it was the LLM programme though)

Perhaps someone has experience with this. Does anyone know if it's possible to submit transcripts after submitted the application? I accidentally uploaded the wrong document, which I just now realize. Now the transcript is missing and when I try to contact the department, I receive no response. Is it a lost cause?
