Hey guys! Just got an offer for the MPhil my button never disappeared. Keep the faith! Good luck

Wow, congratulations to you both!

Congratulations!

From the whole button theories we have, now I don’t know what to rely on anymore.

Congratulations! Shall we take this occasion to discard the button theory, at last? We would probably do next year's applicants a huge favour in terms of mental health.

My BCL button theory (unfortunately for me) is that disappearances before the 16th are rejections, on the 16th are acceptances, and after are waitlisted

It's normal for Dphil and Mphil to get offers without the button disappearing, but it's not for BCL/MJur. Observations from last year's thread.

Is there a BCL gc?

Sorry to hear about this, but do you mean you already got a rejection for BCL this year?? Today?

If this helps also. I just got my DPhil offer. The 'magic' button disappeared this morning.  I still checked yesterday - as late at 11pm, before going to bed. 


On the other hand, I have not got any update on my MPhil despite the fact that the magic button disappeared on Monday. Of course, this is already moot. Jajaja 

Just got an offer for the DPhil. No button disappearance as far as I know (I checked yesterday at 11 pm for the last time).

Have any previous threads discussed the possibility that buttons merely disappear in line with when applicants submitted their application. I submitted mine very late, on the 19th, and mine disappeared around 4.30pm yesterday.

Tenuous, but this may also support the notion that early disappearances usually get accepted. Those who submit an early application are probably organised, have been planning for the BCL for a long time and so have a better shot of getting in?

Really don't think we can work out much from the button but it's a theory

In all honesty I think we're reading a little too much into this 'button theory' - tbh we won't know until we do and I think the healthiest option is to keep up hope until you find out! I would think that they process clear offer/rejections first and then trickle between waitlist/offer/rejection but that could be all wrong and I think we probably all just need to take a break! don't lose hope until you've gotten an e-mail telling you the outcome!!

Does anyone have any insight or has spotted any pattern from the years previous around what time they start sending out offers? 

haven’t been able to get any sleep at all

Hi guys, my button disappeared late last night. Can I expect to receive the outcome today?

Hi meg! 

I think we have people in this thread who had button disappearances from Tuesday evening and haven't heard anything back yet for the BCL - so, at the moment not sure?

My button for the MJur just disappeared. Pretty sure it was just now.
