FYI: It seems that Gate's decisions are coming out. I've just received an e-mail from them and, of course, I was not selected. Good luck everyone!

I wonder what this could mean for funding more generally? I'm a a UK student so Gates does not apply to me.

I just got BOGS-ed within the last hour.
For those still waiting... there is hope yet!

Hi everyone,

In light of today's newsI am very sorry for those of you who received bad news and I am sure there will be more bad news, most important thing to bear in mind this will not define us or change who we can be. Just stay positive and determined, one day we will look back and it will all make sense!

Just an update, I spoke to the administrator and when I said I needed to know the outcome she said, she hopes news will come by end of the week but it could be 2 weeks. So looks like the process is not over! I asked if offers were finished and only rejections left she said no the degree committee was still reviewing, which I find odd, how do they reject if there are some applications they haven't made decisions on?? Anyway I am just a laywomen trying to grapple with the growing complexity of this institution.

Lots of positive thoughts to those of us waiting and those of you who have heard bad news, I am certain there will be great and wonderful things despite this. Whatever you wanted to achieve at Cambridge, just believe you can achieve that anywhere!! :)

Two weeks?! I sincerely hope she is wrong... But thanks for the update anyway!

I'm guessing I can stop checking Camsis for today..

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and advice.

However, I do not think that there is any clear-cut student-type that they are looking for in particular. My CV and your CV are pretty much the same, albeit I currently have a higher GPA than you, I did not do IR, and I was rejected. The quality of references are also important as you stated. In my case, one referee is my thesis supervisor (and favourite professor), the other is my moot court coach (we won the moot court + he's a well known professor in IHL circles), and the other referee is a manager at a law firm (where I worked prior to reading my degree) who knows me on a very personal level.

There's no silver bullet into admissions really. It all depends on whatever is in the room of the degree committee whether it is the mood, air, pressure, etc. Even before submitting my application, I travelled to the U.K. to attend Cambridge's Graduate Open Day to get advice and further fine-tune my application. That too did not work. I am still upset (I'll get over it), but I think it is just a matter of luck. Yes, luck, luck, luck. Many of us right now are wondering what it is that we did not do or why are we not good enough. Such is life, and we will just have to find other paths to self-actualisation albeit a longer one.

For those in #DCLand, just put your seats in an upright position, buckle up, and prepare for landing because the aircraft is on final approach! :) Best of luck to you all.

Hi all, I understand that Cambridge has not been very particular with the March 15 deadline in the past. One of my friends received his offer on March 20 for the 2015-2016 intake. I guess it's best to wait without making any assumptions. All the best to everyone still at DC! :)

Anyone from India BOGSed yet?

Anyone from West Africa BOGSed or unsuccessful yet?
