Oxford BCL and Cambridge LLM Applicants 2009

hi guys

i have just discovered this forum and i must say it makes me feel so much better to know that i'm not alone in this agony! i received an offer from cambridge on 23rd march by e-mail from suzanne wade. since then i've been stressing out because camsis hasn't changed and i haven't received anything in the mail - my thoughts have been plagued by concerns that the e-mail might have been a mistake. stupid i know.

unlike most of you, i put all my eggs in the cambridge basket because i like the commercial law courses they offer, and because there are at least 24 full scholarships that i am eligible for, one of which is reserved for a graduate from my university. i put down magdalene college as my first choice because 4 of the scholarships are attached to that college specifically (i'm south african, by the by).

does anyone know when we should expect to hear from the colleges or about funding administered by the cambridge trust? will all be revealed when we receive our "official" offer or when camsis changes?


I've been waiting since mid February for the letter, conditions and camsis, so welcome to my world !! Half this forum is in the same situation as us..

me too...i have been following this forum for quite some time but this is my 1st post. I think this is the time where we should be all eagerly anticipating the official letters. My conditional offer came on 13th of feb, 1 day before the valentine's day. :P I'm wondering whether the change of the status in CamSis also shows the conditions of offer and the results of funding application, i hope those who already had their Camsis updated could kindly provide me with an answer.Thx!

Hi Jingen

My CamSis was updated a week or so ago. It shows my conditions and indicates my financial liability but does not state one way or the other the results of any funding applications. It simply says "application forms received" (re Cambridge Trusts), but it has said this for a long time. That may of itself mean that I have been unsuccessful - I don't know. I'm sure your CamSis will be updated soon!

Hi Everyone!,

I am getting very concerned about this whole business of funding...hmmm

Could anyone who has heard anything of scholarships, particularly for Cambridge please share some information as to when and how we would be contacted, and whether interviews will be conducted even for applicants from other continents?

I have contacted an institution in my country that is dealing with cambridge scholarship applications and interviews, through British Council (OSI Chevening in particular) and have been told that no decisions will be made before June!
hope this helps....

Without wanting to give anyone false hope, the university would probably have been shut from last Friday until this morning in observance of Easter.

For what it's worth, I am in exactly the same boat - no response at all thus far, including from Ms Wade when I wrote directly by email. I'm expecting rejection, too.

I just discovered this forum last night. This is just a thought, and might be stupid one. The Cambridge website says that the Law Faculty will finalise decisions by today. But CamSIS is updated by the Board of Graduate Studies. So, presumably, those (like me) who have received their offer and are waiting to find out what the conditions will be - i.e., those who are waiting for CamSIS to be updated and the formal letter sent - might have to wait a little longer than the 15 April.

Also, has anyone heard from the colleges (either at Oxford or Cambridge), or does anyone know when we are likely to find out?

Cedric, I am new to this forum. I also got accepted by email in February but not updates on Camsis... Did you get an email telling you that your Camsis had been updated?

Welcome !
No, I didn't get an e-mail notification. I just checked my camsis page myself and was surprised to see 'offer set'. My offer dates from Feb 15 so it took exactly 2 months for Camsis to be updated....
So I'm sure your update is near or has happened in the last couple of hours..!!
