KCL: is the wait a good sign or a bad one?


CR1

but like Maia said , it is probably Xmas which is causing a bit of delay...
a phone call might help

Any News Maia21? I applied almost the same day as you did (Dic 30th) but I have yet to receive any email from KCL, I wrote them an email and the answer was the same that they gave to you.

Same here, I applied early 2009 and I have to wait at least 4 weeks to get an acknowledgment of receipt...

I know that if you are a good candidate you should have a chance on being accepted at KCL, but, 400 applications on winter break? just how many places are available? I now feel that receiving an offer from KCL is going to be even harder just for this reason, what do you think???

Somewhere in KCL's website it says that there are approximately 300 LLM students each year.

i had applied to KCL nd UCL for LLM in International Commercial Law in mid-Oct, 2008 & got conditional offers from the colleges in mid-Nov and Dec end, respectively. I am in the final year of my bachelor's degree and do not know which of the two colleges i shud go for. I havent got a clear idea from ny1 till now. I need an overall aggregate of 60% for KCL & 65% for UCL to get the final offer. my aggregate is more than 65%. After completing my LLM, i wanna come back 2 india & start working. can any1 advise me regarding the college i shud opt among the two? M even interested in knowing which of the two offers better internship programme and a better placement back in india. people who are presently studying in any of these colleges, esp. the ones who are pursuing their LLM in the subject i hav opted are requested to give me an idea. alumnis please respond!

Just got my tracking number - 4 weeks exactly since I applied.

As information for anyone who is applying now, the front page of the tracker says:

The LLM Admissions Office has received an unexpectedly large quantity of last minute applications. Please be aware that complete applications arriving during March may, as a result of the sheer volume of applications, take up to 8 weeks to process. The LLM Admissions Office is committed to responding to applicants as soon as possible. We hope you will bear with us during this period. Thank you for your patience.

Same here, I applied early 2009 and I have to wait at least 4 weeks to get an acknowledgment of receipt

don't worry, I think the logic of when you hear back is very inconsistent; i heard back after two weeks, while i know others last year who waited for 10 weeks. anyhow, the llm admission is now closed, a month before the deadline, so I am sure everyone who is still waiting will here back very soon!

best of luck you all of you!

What do you mean admissions to the LLM are now closed? Where did you hear that?
