Hi all.

I'm still UCDC on CAMSIS, but I got an offer for a scholarship from a college who needed to know promptly whether I could accept it or not. I rang Ms Wade who told me over the phone that I would be made an offer, but it could take up to a week to make it onto CAMSIS.

I'm a bit anxious about what the conditions may be though as I've got to defer a Bar scholarship if I want to take this LLM up. Does anyone from an English uni know whether theyre likely to ask for a specific overall percentage (e.g. 75%), a general degree classification (first class degree), or a classification for my final year (e.g. first class average in final year)?

Hi BDL and others, what number do you ring Ms Wade at? And when you say you want to ask for an update, does she entertain you rightaway or is it quite difficult to get her to give you info? Thanks

Hello everyone! I have a question for you.

Like some of you I am still UCDC. After I wrote to Ms. Wade asking her about the status of my application, I received an email from her saying that she was pleased to "confirm that you have been recommended by the Faculty of Law to the Graduate Admissions Office for a conditional offer for the Cambridge LLM programme".

Should I be happy about that or does it only mean what I already know -that I am UCDC-?

Does anyone know if you have already completed your law degree met the English requirement and have been working when you applied, then would you still receive a conditional offer, assuming you have been selected?

Hey i was told the same thing on the phone when i spoke to her last Friday, when i asked her what it meant, she said "awaiting decision by the board of graduate studies" so, it also means that 99.99% you'll be given an offer. Congratulations!

This process is beyond ridiculous.

Hey ik0214. My status is awaiting for the decision by the board of the graduate studies. And it lasts for 2 weeks. Does it mean I can receive a conditional offer? Thanks so much.

Just saw in Camsis that I received a conditional offer (no email yet) but here's what my status changes looked like in case people are curious about timelines this year.

UCDC - January 2017
Awaiting decision by Board of Graduate Studies - March 16th 2017
Awaiting approval by BGS - March 24th
Conditional offer made - March 29th

What i have gathered from the chat on this thread and the previous years is that - awaiting decision by the board of graduate studies means that you will receive a conditional offer. Apparently this stage is only a formality and you have been selected. You should receive an offer soon. Seeing how they have delayed everything this year, it might take longer!

Congrats guys :)

For those still UCDC, any form of updates?

Nothing... Still UCDC

I sent a 2nd e-mail to Ms Wade, and still no reply.. i mean at least she should say something like- i am sorry i cannot give you any information atm...

I think i read somewhere that Cam doesn't have a waitlist, which leaves us with the other hypothesis: we are not a priority. Or they are simply running (very) late and randomly our files were at the bottom of the pile and we have to wait longer.
In any case, a simple email explainning the situation would be very much appreciated.

Congratulations!
My application status changed exactly like yours but my camsis is still showing "awaiting approval by BGS". I hope I will receive an offer soon.
Can someone who have already received an offer please confirm if they have received college offers or any funding (scholarship) update. I see one of us has already received a college offer and scholarship update without receiving a formal offer from the GAO. Thank you in advance.
