Quick question about waitlists - when do they close and would there be much movement from now to late July?

Am waiting for an update on the IHR MSc

Just received the MLF waitlist mail as well. Have they actually sent out any offers to waitlisted candidates recently, and receiving the mail means that we were lower on the list?

I received the same email and I think it’s just MLF’s protocol to keep a waiting list. The class size is small and I have never heard that anyone got off the MLF waiting list. So sad to say, but do not keep your hopes high.

I got an MLF offer from the waiting list, which I didn't take, so it went even further down the line. It is certainly possible to get an offer.

First time hearing. Great to know that the slim chance can come through. Please do you mind sharing why you didn’t take the offer? Did it come at a late period? We’re you already in another program?

Yeah I had already accepted another offer at Oxford plus the programme was hella expensive and I could not afford it.

Thanks for sharing, miki3999. You have been most helpful on this platform. I hope providence keeps rewarding you.

Did you get it in May, soon after the deposit payment date? It's nice to know that it happens, but I suppose most people rescind their offers simply by not paying deposits and that later in the process it's not that common.

I got the offer in mid April (but that was the Covid year so the timetables were slightly shifted).

Thanks for sharing- Essentially, you received the offer before the payment deadline?

Turned down my BCL offer and scholarship. Hope someone gets off the waitlist. Good luck.
