Does a "currently being processed by Admissions" status necessarily convert into an offer (conditional or otherwise) eventually?

Pls share. Thanks!

"currently being processed" means exactly that. Your application is being assessed by the department, which could lead to either an offer or a rejection.

thanks Sabrina78! just received an offer conditional on my submitting proof that I can speak, read and write english. this, despite the llb i had obtained in uk just three years ago.

any advice on which test to take? not even sure ucl is worth the effort...

Well that's weird...however it's kind of a standard procedure (if you don't ask for a waiver in your application).
As for tests, I recommend the IELTS.
Why wouldn't UCL be worth the effort? It's a great school.

not even sure ucl is worth the effort...

Yeah, I was wondering that too :-p

Just ask them for a waiver.

Sabrina, omnomnom,

If not Cam, where would you go to study? UCL, LSE or smth in America?

I see, so the choice is not that tough)

And I want to specialize in Int commercial law, and it`s quite hard to choose between LSE and UCL, if not Cam..but looks like LSE would be my priority.

Energy Law? cool! but is there any specialized subjects in Cam for it?

It will sound odd but I rather prefer UCL to Cambridge. Of course Cambridge is a major university (and that in itself is a reason for applying) but its focus is mainly on international law and aspects of commercial law. UCL has a broader and more contemporary syllabus. All I'm saying is that for someone interested specialising in e.x. energy/environmental/competition/finance Cam is not a hands-down obvious choice. It requires some thinking.

Agree, Cam is Cam))

Well, generally rankings refer UCL higher then LSE, but when in comes to subject ranking, then LSE is higher.
actually, it seems like those rankings are very alike with statistics - they all lie) but could you please tell me what concrete ranking do you mean?

tbh, I don`t know for sure - in LSE they were very fast to admit me, but gave a conditional offer. But UCL gives me an unconditional offer.

subjects - are very the same for my specialization.

professors - you never know who is gonna be next year where, and students might teach you both in UCL and LSE.

what is important for me is that I am planning to study Corporate Finance, as a economic subject. So LSE looks a bit more prefferable.

But it`s complicated:)

and I still do hope for Cam;)

Sabrina78

I understand your thoughts completely! and while Cam says nothing it is great for all of us to think so.. but what if they admit us?;) Cam is not only about specialization, it is also about special atmosphere, isn`t it?

and u r absolutely right, it requires some thinking for sure!

While we're on the subject, has anyone formed an informed opinion about which specialisation UCL is particularly good for?

Of course, Alexkos, and that's the reason I applied myself. Atmosphere and the University's excellent reputation (a plus for any CV)

ADR, International Law - all spheres, including human rights and criminal juctice.

I also heard that competition law as a subject is reaaaly good, but not sure whether it`s true or not.

Agree, Cam is Cam))

Thanks a lot Alexkos,
I don't know about Competition I'm planning to talk to some alumni I know and find out because it's something that I would consider.

I'm glad we're all being realistic here omnomnom :-p

Hey

I've received a conditional offer from UCL but the condition is impossible to achieve. I have a CGPA of around 4.2/7 and they want me to bring it up to 5/7 by the end of my undergrad. I'm got only one more semester to go and hence its impossible to achieve that grade. Should I accept the offer anyways and write a mail to graduate admissions?

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Specially if anyone has faced a similar situation before this. Thanks!

I suppose there's certainly no harm in accepting and then if you don't get the grades just beg? What's the worst that can happen?
