Hello everyone!
Has anyone received an invitation email for interviews yet?
My status is still 'under department review', getting anxious now:(

Hi thanks for creating a thread! I haven't heard anything yet and am getting anxious for the results

When do we generally expect to hear something?

According to previous years' threads, people start to receive interview invitations this or next week

Thanks!

Any updates please? My application is still at departmental review stage - has anybody received any interview calls yet? Really anxious!

No updates ;(

Anxiety levels are really high, any updates would be deeply appreciated!

No news may not be a bad news at this moment. I asked a few Cambridge LLM students who applied to PhD this year, none of them (as well as people who they knew had applied) heard any updates yet. 

Hi - I have an interview scheduled for Monday. I received an invitation for it on the 15th. Hope this helps :)

Congrats! I just spotted a typo in my research proposal so am not holding out hope :(

Thanks for the kind update - could I please know what area of law your research deals with? Also, did you reach out to your potential supervisor previously or have an informal conversation with them prior to putting in your application?

My best wishes for your interview! :)

Oh I would worry about that too much - there was an incomplete sentence in mine so I dont think that a typo would have that big an impact! they do not interview everyone who gets an offer in the end. I have friends who didnt receive interviews invitation last year and still got their offer! Do not lose hope :)

Hi. I just received an email for an interview this next Wednesday, 24 Jan.

I just got an interview for Friday! 

I am yet to receive an interview invite - does this mean that I'm looking at a potential rejection or is there a possibility of more invites going out? I left my supervisor column blank!

Hi! I didnt reach to my supervisor beforehand, nor had any informal discussion with them. I did put their name down, and I think that might speed up the process a little, since that means that your file gets sent directly to them rather than retained by the commission until they do find a suitable fit (which they might not find, or think it is too loose and asocciation etc).
