Hi guys, just wondering how many people do Oxford and Cambridge, generally speaking, accept every year into the BCL/LLM?

Also, I know some have received offers from Cambridge... has anyone heard from Oxford?

And has anyone received any rejections from Cambridge? I'm just trying to figure out the timeframe; after a certain point in time, I suspect one can assume you will not be accepted.

As a rough guide, I believe that the LLM at Cambridge has about 200 on it and Oxford's BCL and MJur have around 75 each but you could probably get precise information from the universities.

Don't worry about not having heard from Cambridge, it can take ages. They process people in dribs and drabs. I certainly don't think you need to assume anything at this point. But it is definitely the case that at Cambridge, unlike other universities, some people hear many weeks if not longer before others.

Good luck.

Cambridge has in the past had 200 people but it has been reducing its numbers and I don't think there are many more than 100 in this years matriculation photo which probably rounds out considering absences to 130 or so

Joseph1, Yellow,

Thanks for the information, much appreciated!

Yellow: I've been told by one person that Cambridge has roughly 150 spots this year.

They give out that many offers but not everyone will go

On a another note, having done LLMs in both the United States and the United Kingdom. These are my rankings for the best LLM programs in terms of prestige and job prospects. The first five is in no particular order:

(1) Oxford
(2) Cambridge
(3) Columbia
(4) Harvard
(5) Stanford
(6) NYU
(7) Georgetown
(8) Penn
(9) California-Berkley
(10) LSE

i applied to oxford and cambridge. still waiting to hear back from oxford but just got rejected by cambridge. a friend of mine got accepted into cambridge over a month ago.
