I didn't write anything for this section. Instead, I uploaded my CV and a list of publications. So, what did you write there?

@Vari57: I think your application was within the deadline. I sent in all my documents before November 15th and so did my referees, and my status is the same. I assume it won't change until February or March when Cambridge is actually considering the applications.

The website says that offers will be made 'by' 15 March. Are they ever made earlier than the date stipulated?

Hi everyone :)
Has anyone had a change in status? Mine is still "awaiting consideration by the department".

Thanks

Hi,

While Graduate website says that you may submit a referee from your employer if you have not recently attended college, I was wondering what Cambridge looks at as 'recent'. Would it be prudent to submit one academic reference and one professional reference after having worked for 3 years post undergrad?

Hi everyone :)

Happy New Year :) The best I can wish to all of us for the New Year is to study at Cambridge and get to know each other :)

Hey everyone :)

Does anyone remember for sure how many characters we were allowed to write for the "Additional information" section?
Now I am looking at my pdf application form, and it says 999/1500, but I remember that there was a 1000-character limit. Is there a mistake on my application form, or was the limit really 1500 characters?

Thanks :)

So, another question to discuss: why did you guys apply to Cambridge? What are your ambitions for the future? Just curious! :)

Hey,

I was just really interested in the modules on offer - especially the 'angle' taken. For instance, many of the courses - while covering the 'black-letter' of the law to a superb degree - also sought to situate it within a broader context, for instance by looking at the history of the development of WTO Law.

I found this approach appealing, mainly because I already have a training contract for a Magic Circle firm and so don't need the degree to get a job. To that end, while I would take majority corporate/European/international law modules, I am looking t wade my feet a little beyond the black-letter - while obviously going over it extensively as well.

As to ambitions for the future, well as stated I will be taking up the training contract I secured earlier this year..

Hi,

I had a similar problem and I (perhaps annoyingly) wrote to Cambridge about this just after I'd submitted my application. It would be a shame not to use the space.

The limit is 1000. They said this was a technical mishap. I suspect the limit used to be different but changed. I reckon we'll all be in a similar position of having filled up 999/1500 characters :-).

Happy new year everyone!

I found the following information, maybe will be helpful.

Thanks! Your link states, that:

"Degree committees

It may take up to seven days from Departmental approval for your application to be considered by the Degree Committee.

Board of Graduate Studies

It may take up to seven days from Degree Committee approval for your application to be considered by the Board of Graduate Studies.

The Graduate Admissions Office makes the official offer of admission to the applicant, by email."

However, this doesn't add up with the application process from the previous years (if you look at the Cambridge LLM-group from last year or the year before that). Even though I would hope so, I don't think we are so lucky to get a respons before late February to mid March.
