Likewise, my status just changed to 'awaiting decision by the board of graduate studies' as well. Seems like they are well over the deadline and still processing, so don't lose hope!

Still stuck under consideration by degree committee... It is getting tiring to be honest...

My status was updated to "Awaiting decision by the Board of Graduate Studies" a few minutes ago from "Under consideration by the Degree Committee"

About bloody time!

No idea what this means and I guess the waiting game continues but at least it indicates that someone has actually looked at my application. I was beginning to have my doubts.

Best of luck to everyone else waiting.

just got a conditional offer

yaay :)

Good luck to those who are still waiting !

Congrats! When did your status change to "awaiting decision by the Board of graduate studies"?

My status just changed to Conditional Offer Made - seeking college membership. Good luck to everybody and hang in there!

Hey everyone! Got conditional offer made also a couple of hours ago :)

I think this might be enlightening for current and future applicants.

26 February (I think): "awaiting decision by the Board of Graduate Studies"

3 March: "awaiting approval by BGS"

17 March: "conditional offer made"

Yes, the wait was very nerve-wracking. I contacted the University about the awaiting approval status and they told me that they had some queries with the faculty about my application, and depending on their answer the graduate office would either make me an offer or reject.

So yes, although it is not possible to predict what is the nature of the query (can be something small or big), it is possible (at least in theory) to get rejected if you obtain the "awaiting approval" status.

Although, again, I have not found online any report of anyone being rejected to the LLM programme once you get to the "awaiting decision by the Board of Graduate Studies", or even the "awaiting approval".

But if you ask me why I got the status... well... my best guess is that they didn't like the fact that my English certificate would expire before classes started. So as part of the conditional offer I have to take a new test. Shouldn't be too difficult :)

Good luck for everyone else and I hope this clarification is useful!

I just got an offer from Jesus College :) Is anybody joining me there?

If you call the Grad Admissions Office they can track your college application.

Good luck to those still waiting.

Hey, when did you do your language test? Did u obtain your bachelor from a UK University?

Im currently awaiting the decision of the BoGs but I do not fulfil the language criteria (only 101 TOEFL online), however my bachelor was entirely in English (4 years). Do you guys think I can be the first case to be rejected at this famous BoGS stage?:D

For those waiting on Trinity, I received a spot at Trinity College today.

I received a college offer from Trinity College today. That puts an end to the long wait I went through after receiving the offer.

I took my English test Mid-2014. And I took my bachelor in non-UK Universities. However I have several publications written in English, and experience in research projects in English, so I guess that helped.

I imagine the fact that you took your Bachelor entirely in English will be very helpful. And I think I remember reading somewhere on this forum of an applicant that got accepted without an English test (they just asked that person to take a new one).

So if your application meets all other criteria, I imagine (and hope) that they will just ask you to take a new test.

Ended my anxiety and got an offer yesterday. Here is summary of my status that may help comfort anybody who is in doubt.

7 March : Awaiting decision by BGS
8 March : Awaiting approval by BGS
17 March : Conditional offer made

Hope you all receive an offer very soon!

My status has finally changed to "awaiting decision from BOGs" around 11:00pm (Jakarta time) yesterday..should be around 05:00pm (UK time). I will be waiting anxiously for the offer.

So, yes I think they are still working on the results (after the lapse of 15 March), and the fact if anyone has not heard anything from them (nor received any rejection), I do believe it is kinda' good news, because in the website they said the outcome for unsuccessful results will be obtained much earlier. Just my two cents though :D

Do the BOGs only issue conditional offer? or anyone has received unconditional offer so far (if one is possible)?

I know the offer will always be subject to financial conditions etc., but nevertheless other universities still put "unconditional offer" on the heading of the letter.

Thanks!

Sorry I got it wrong, it should be 04:00pm (UK time).

So it's another 7 business days for the final result (as per their website) exhale....(heavily)

Cheers!

Mrs Wade answered an e-mail of mine saying that I was made a conditional offer even though I don't know what the conditions are. So I suggest all of you still awaiting for an answer e-mail/call her ?

same here.

Ms. Wade has replied my email saying that I got a conditional offer and that the GAO will update my account very shortly. Up until now my account remains "awaiting decision from BOGs", i'm still wondering what the conditions will be.
